In
the period between the two issues of Pravda u tranziciji
in Belgrade was rendered the verdict (in the first
instance) for “Ovcara”, and the trials for the “Zvornik
group” and the “Scorpios” begun. Ongoing are the trial
for Anton Lekaj, and dozens of investigations in the War
Crimes Prosecutor’s Office.
None of these would have been possible if there were no
regional cooperation in war crime proceedings. Likewise,
witnesses from Serbia would not have appeared before the
County Court in split. It is absurd, the former Yugoslav
republics are linked together through war crime trials.
The fate of the reachable justice.
Pravda u tranziciji was presented in December in Opatija,
at the meeting of the Croatian Association for Criminal
Law Sciences and Practice, and before that in Sarajevo
to journalists, the Court and the Prosecutor’s Office in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, afterwards in Bratunac, Potocari.
Sefer Halilovic was in these days declared free from
charges before The Hague Tribunal, at the airport which
used to carry the name “Butmir”, he was met with
ovation. For crimes committed in Dretelj somebody must
be responsible. After that, Ante Gotovina in The Hague.
Demonstrations in Split, Zadar, Zagreb. The Croatian
President Stipe Mesic appeals. He says that the youth
does not know the history.
In the “Mladic dossier” pages are missing. Pages of our
history?
