HAGUE - Serbian Radical Party (SRS) leader Vojislav Seselj has requested EUR 12 million in compensation from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for what he claims is wrongful detention in the Tribunal's detention unit, where he has been held over the past 11 and a half years, the ICTY has said.

Šešelj seeks EUR 12mn compensation for wrongful detention

THE HAGUE -- Vojislav Šešelj has requested EUR 12 million in compensation from the Hague Tribunal (ICTY) for what he claims is wrongful detention by the court.

The leader of the Serb Radical Party (SRS), accused of war crimes, has been incarcerated since early 2003.

Belgrade will provide security guarantees for Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj if the war crimes court grants him early release, but only if he submits to strict conditions.

BELGRADE – Serbia’s government has said that it is ready to provide The Hague tribunal guarantees for a provisional release of Vojislav Seselj, given that the leader of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) declares in a legally binding form that he will abide by all the conditions specified or agreed with him by the competent trial chamber of that court.

BELGRADE - Supporters of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS) called on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) during a protest on Saturday to immediately and unconditionally release their leader Vojislav Seselj.

Sarajevo on Saturday was to mark 100 years since the assassination that sparked World War I, an act that still deeply divides the people of the Balkans over the legacy of that fateful day.

"Hague Tribunal did not know what to do with Šešelj"

BELGRADE -- Rasim Ljajić has said the case of Vojislav Šešelj represents "a precedent" for which a great part of the responsibility lies with the Hague Tribunal.

Ljajić, a cabinet minister, also serves as president of the Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal.
