I hope he does not get a fair trial. He deserves to sit where the rest of the radical serbs restt. Him and Milosavic will rot in the same hell together for doing what they did to the Bosnian muslims. This should teach the rest of the world a lesson, you mess with the U.S, NATO, and any of their friends you will be bombed and drug from your hole and placed in prison where you will perish.

No. Hague is not about justice nor fairness of trial. It has never been. Have we already forgotten what happened when fraudulent witnesses were brought up by the prosecution, and busted by the Court? What happened was --- nothing. One after the other, false witnesses were paraded, busted and discredited in the most hillarious manner, and the show just went on! Have we already forgotten the "trial" of an Albanian accussed of killing the Serbs? After several witnesses were killed or disappeared, he was released due to the "lack of evidence"! Not to mention the years of prosecutor's case against Miloshevic, and his "natural death" just before it was his turn to present the case for the defense? Hague is about whitewashing the role of the West in the Balkan bloodbath. It is about protecting the proxies of the West, and designate one and only guilty party, the Serbian Government and the people. This is why after all these years, the bloodiest and most viscious episode of the Balkan saga --- the cleansing of Krajina in Croatia --- still has no traction at the "Court". And why would it? Croatia is now NATO country. The next in visciousness is the cleansing of Kosovo of Serbs, but the role and the guilt of Kosovo Albanians will never have a traction at the "Court". And why would it? Albania is now NATO country. The problem with Bosnia is that it has a Serbian part of the country that is not interested in NATO membership. Therefore, a full-court press has been mounted as we speak to create a "more unified" country, so that Sarajevo's proxies can get an upper hand, and deliver Bosnia to NATO. The trial of Karadjic will be the movie backdrop to the dirty politics. All in the name of human rights and justice. Justice, Western style.

He'll get a fairer trial than his victims. If he turns up that is ...

By far the largest number of victims in the Yugoslav wars of seccession are Serbs. Serbs in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo and the Serbs in Serbia killed in NATO bombing constitute the largest number of civilian victims. However, the number of killed in Krajina alone is still being fudged to show a small number. In Bosnia, the Serbian victims, in proportion to the population are not lower then the victims of other ethnic groups. And in Kosovo, just like in Bosnia, a fraudulent number of dead is still being used, instead of real, proven data. In addition to the dead and wounded, Serbian population is the largest refugee population in Balkans, and the largest percent of population displaced --- by far. Serbian population has been removed almost in its entirety from Krajina in Croatia. Thousands of emty villages still tell the story now well over a decade old. The weeds and forests are reclaiming their homes, pastures and once cultivated land. The estimate of 300,000 Serbs being removed from Krajina in August 1995 is only a part of the expulsion and murder campaign that was launched against Serbs all over Croatia in the period of 1991-1995. Until today, there is no reliable data of dead and missing. Bosnia story is even more twisted. Unlike what happened in Croatia and Kosovo where Serb minorities were just wiped out --- no questions asked, in Bosnia there was a real civil war going on. In Bosnia Serbs and Moslems in Western Bosnia alligned against Moslems from Sarjevo, and their occassional allies --- Croatians. How can Hague make a case for "genocide"? Serbs and Moslems fought together against Izatbegovic forces; is this a "genocide"? Their leader Fikret Abdic is today a POLITICAL PRISONER in Croatia. On what basis did Croatia have him tried for war crimes? That is what happens to Moslems that were Serb allies, and not "friends of NATO". But he is not forgotten by many Serbs; "Babo" is still their hero.

Off course he won’t get a fair trail the judges liaison with the US and UK embassies, witnesses against Serbs are usually found to be lieing, and that could not charge a single crime against Milosevic and when he was about to be acquitted they murdered him. The court itself is political as it was financed and created by George Soros. @sevodnya_net And who might these victims be the 2000 or so Islamic terrorists in Srebrenica some from Britain who were using UN safe havens as a base to slaughter 3,500 Serb civilian villages under the leadership of warlord Nasir Oric and most originally coming from Chechnya in 92. Or the ghost 6,000 more that they somehow can find after more than 10 years. He will receive as fair a justice as other Serb victims being ZERO in the Alice in Wonderland court. Guilty until proven guilty.

It isn't only Bosnian Serbs on trial at Hague of course. The fact remains however that Karadzic stands accused of the worst war crimes in Europe since the days of the Nuremburg trials - I doubt whether the Nuremburg trials were exactly "fair" either but the enormity of this person's crimes is such that the civilised world cannot ignore them with a clear conscience. And I repeat, Karadzic sits today in what amounts to hotel accommodation, armies of lawyers having at heaven knows what expense collated millions of pages of evidence for the prosecution and, presumably, for the "defence". When you consider the manner in which so many of the victims of Srebrenica, Sarajevo etc met their deaths, the current scenario does not seem unreasonable

Irrefutable Proof ICTY Is Corrupt Court/Irrefutable Proof the Hague Court Cannot Legitimately Prosecute Karadzic Case http://lpcyu.instablogs.com/entry/nato-says-the-hague-tribunal-or-icty-belongs-to-nato-truth-bites-for-te-hague-lately/ http://picasaweb.google.com/lpcyusa/ViewMyHagueInternationalCriminalCourtPreparatoryDocumentsFromThe2001UnitedNations# (The Documentary Secret United Nations ICC Meeting Papers Scanned Images) This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr karadzic and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not. Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United Nations member states openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and others. I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding. SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN "INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT."

What a surprising outcome on the comments. Russians that think Karadzic won't get a fair trial. You're right, he won't, a fair trial for that piece of shit would've already resulted in someone tying a rope around his feet and slowly dropping his Cetnik ass off a goddamn cliff headfirst into a volcano. But then again what's the use arguing with you fuckers anyhow. Not like practically any of you were there to see what was really going on, and those rare few that were, if there was videotape footage of your actions there, you wouldn't have the balls to show it to your children, or younger siblings. In the end, that speaks louder than any of these lies that you and your Serbian "brothers" feed yourself. Sa srecom vidit cemo se kad nastavi rat, barem tu vam ove lazi nista vrijediti nece.

That's not even a real court. That is a western political instrument for punishing every unobedient and sovereign Country that does not recognize Western "values" or wants to be under it's influence. Thank God that Russia and China are back on the playing field. Haris, just be patient your wish may come true sooner than you think! Greetings from Serbia.

Was it fair what the cetniks did to the Bosnian muslims? I think not. I hope he hangs from a rope like Saddam and I hope they show the video on this web site. I am an American and I come to this web site to get different news from around the world. I do agree that every news is some form of propoganda or another. This is why I visit different sites. However, when I saw this on here I was apalled. I always see you Ruskies siding with the cetniks. I guess it is because of your Orthodox religion. My wifes mother is croatian, my father in law a Bosnian muslim who was sniped in the leg while waliking to work in Sarajevo. I have visited Sarajevo and Dubrovnik with my wife who was born in Sarajevo. I can tell you first hand the devasation that the Serbs have caused these people. The devastation that the U.S and nato caused you was not enough. You should always remember in the future not to mess with America or their brothers or you will face the consequences you deserve. I hope this man does not recieve a fair trial and if you decided to wreak your genocidal havok on these people again I hope we wipe you off the map and make Serbia one big parking lot. You are a virus to the Balkans.

Daniel, the sooner the better. 14 years is enough patience, let's finish what was started. Ubrzaj taj proces malo vise Danijele. I barut ti ima rok, pogotovo ako su vec stari metci. Anybody else that wants to get in on it, you're welcome, this time there will be plenty enough bullets right from the start.

What a profoundly depressing set of opinions - on both sides.It seems that wherever Karadzic goes extremism and hatred - from whatever source - follow. I condemn Karadzic but I dissociate myself totally from this poisionous anti-Serb bile - and as for the pro-Serb bile ...

Actually Harris there wont be any need for that,because Bih is singing on it's last verse. I guarantee you that RS (Republika Srpska) is going to declare independence from Bih in the next 12-36 months. Then you can live in "harmony" whit your Wahab brothers from Saudi-Arabia,while RS is going to reunite whit Serbia in the future. I really hope Dr.Karadzic gets a fair trial just like your Naser Oric or Rasim Delic did. Then we can give him a warm welcome home. It's needless to say what tragic destiny your people would face if you made the foolish mistake to cross the border and try to retake RS by force! Someone said something about not messing whit America i think it was signature called "T"? Let me tell you something Serbia never messed whit U.S it was the other way around, as it was messing whit Iraq,Afghanistan,Iran and many many other nations around the Globe who didn't accept their interpretation of "democracy" For your information if you didn't heard the American empire is disintegrating. It's a sinking Ship, just like the Titanic. And every one that doesn't realize that soon I'm afried they will join here down the bottom. We don't need you and you don't need us, just let it be like that for both our sakes, or their will be no more Bosnia ever!

Daniel I see you haven't been even in RS, much less so anywhere else in BiH for a long while, if ever in your life. And don't worry, cetniks like you were never worried about the amount of tragedy in our destiny before, so don't be concerned about it now either. Spend your time being concerned about your own, since there's an endless supply of us quietly waiting for the opportunity to let your family feel their pain. As for the independence of RS, good luck, try it and see what will happen. I don't think I even need to comment on 1234's retardation, other than, at least get the damn year right on the 13th SS. Even for you it can't be that hard to look it up on Wikipedia. Dosadilo mi je vise se raspravljati sa vama ovdje. Dovidjenja dok se ne nastavi.
