Serbian nationalism

Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic wrote to the UN Secretary-General, warning that the Hague war crimes court’s acquittal of Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj was a “dangerous precedent”.

Serb Radical Party (SRS) leader Vojislav Seselj has said that while he does not hold citizenship of Bosnia-Herzegovina, he "has a right to it."

Chief Hague Prosecutor Serge Brammertz on Wednesday announced that his office had decided to appeal against the Seselj trial verdict.

The prosecution at the UN-backed war crimes court in The Hague will appeal against last week’s verdict acquitting Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj of crimes against humanity.

The Hague Tribunal's decision to set Vojislav Seselj free "could be the start of a triumphant return of radical nationalism to Serbian politics."

This is according to an article published by the Moscow-based daily Kommersant.

President Tomislav Nikolic says he is "indifferent" when it comes to the verdict announced on Thursday in the Hague Tribunal trial of Vojislav Seselj.

Nikolic added that he also "has no feelings toward Seselj."

The Hague Tribunal has acquitted Vojislav Seselj on all counts of the indictment against him in the first-instance ruling announced on Thursday.

The leader of the SRS party stood accused of committing crimes against humanity and violating the laws or customs of war.

Serbia's representative at Thursday's reading of the verdict in the Seselj trial Sasa Obradovic does not doubt the Hague Prosecution will appeal.

The Hague Prosecution on Thursday announced that it "takes note of today’s verdict" passed in the trial of Vojislav Seselj, acquitting him of all charges.

Vojislav Seselj has reacted to the Hague Tribunal's ruling acquitting him of all charges by saying it was the only possible decision from the legal standpoint.
