Hague Tribunal

Controversy has erupted over a prayer meeting in support of six Bosnian Croat wartime officials whose final verdicts for crimes against humanity will be handed down by the Hague Tribunal this week. 

A Zagreb rights NGO urged parliament to censure Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic for speaking in support of six former Bosnian Croat officials who are awaiting their verdict at the Hague Tribunal.

BiH Presidency Member Bakir Izetbegovic is conducting an illegal training of paramilitary formations, which so far passed at least 9,000 young Bosniaks, reported Serbian daily "Vecernje Novosti".

Serbian Orthodox Patriarch has said that the Hague Tribunal verdict handed down to Ratko Mladic was "the work of the devil."

This was not the first time, the patriarch continued in a statement for the tabloid Alo, that it turns out only the Serbs are guilty for everything, while the others are innocent.

"Mothers of Srebrenica" president Munira Subasic claims that the association has the right to sue Serbia and the Serb Republic (RS).

She pointed out that this right "definitely exists after the first-instance verdict against Ratko Mladic," Croatia's Vecernji List reported in its edition for Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH).

Subasic, however, did not further explain her claim.

The verdict to Ratko Mladic represents merely a continuation of the politicized and biased course taken by the Hague Tribunal (ICTY) during its work.

This was the message that came from Moscow a day after the tribunal sentenced the former military commander of Serbs in Bosnia to life in prison, finding him guilty of charges of genocide and war crimes.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic urged "all citizens of Serbia to, starting today, begin to look to the future."

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic urged "all citizens of Serbia to, starting today, begin to look to the future."

Vucic spoke after the Hague Tribunal announced it had sentenced former military commander of Serbs in Bosnia Ratko Mladic to life in prison.

The judgment to Ratko Mladic is a difficult day for Serbia, and many citizens of our country feel hurt, given the previous decisions of the Hague Tribunal.

Justice Minister Nela Kuburovic said this on Wednesday, adding that she would not comment on the verdict itself because it is first-instance and not final.
