Goran Hadžić

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic, on trial for trying to expel the non-Serb population from Croatia, was actually seeking a peaceful solution to the conflict, a former party colleague said.

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic finished his testimony in his own defence by again denying he had military power in Croatia, where he is accused of committing war crimes.

Goran Hadzic told his war crimes trial that Belgrade had full control over territory seized in Croatia during the 1991-95 war, and local Serbs had no power over paramilitary fighters and militias.

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic resumed his war crimes defence at the Hague Tribunal, distancing himself from Serb paramilitaries fighting in Croatia and from Slobodan Milosevic.

Former Croatian Serb leader Hadzic told his war crimes trial that he was not responsible for the mass expulsion of Croats from Serb-dominated areas of Croatia during the 1990s war.

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic told his war crimes trial that Serbs in Croatia were justified in wanting an independent state like the Croats after Yugoslavia broke up.

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic told his war crimes trial that he didn’t work with notorious paramilitary boss Zeljko Raznatovic, alias ‘Arkan’, despite photo and video evidence.

The Yugoslav People’s Army was responsible for war crimes around the Croatian town of Vukovar in 1991, former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic told his trial at the Hague Tribunal.

Slobodan Milosevic and the Yugoslav People’s Army were in control of the wartime campaign in Croatia, not local Serb leaders, Goran Hadzic testified at his trial in The Hague.

Former Croatian Serb leader Goran Hadzic, on trial for war crimes, said that attempts by the Zagreb authorities to get rid of the Yugoslav flag sparked armed conflict in 1991.
