Foreign news agencies and media on Thursday reported on a "shocking" and "surprising" acquittal of Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague, saying that the ruling dealt a heavy blow to the prosecution and victims and gave a boost to the anti-EU Serbian Radical Party ahead of Serbia's parliamentary elections in April. The ICTY on Thursday acquitted Seselj on all nine counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Croatia, the Serbian province of Vojvodina, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Reuters said that it was "a shock verdict that delivered a boost to his anti-EU Serbian Radical Party ahead of April elections." At Radical Party headquarters in Belgrade, Seselj's supporters cheered the ruling. "Polls show his party hovering just above the 5 percent threshold it would need to return to parliament next month after four years outside," Reuters said. Seselj's acquittal also came as a blow to prosecutors at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia after the decade-long trial, the longest in the history of the ICTY. The Associated Press recalled that this "sweeping defeat" for prosecutors at the ICTY came a week after Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic was sentenced to 40 years in prison for the Srebrenica genocide and war crimes committed elsewhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina. "The verdict is a major blow for the prosecution – which was heavily criticised by presiding judge Jean-Claude Antonetti – and for the families of thousands of Croatian and Muslim victims of the conflict," the Financial Times said. In their shock ruling pronounced in Seselj's absence, Judge Jean-Claude Antonetti said the prosecution had failed to prove the charges and said: "Vojislav Seselj is now a free man," AFP said. All the agencies quoted Croatian Prime Minister Tihomir Oreskovic as saying that Seselj's acquittal was a defeat for the prosecution and shameful for the Hague tribunal.

Suđenje vođi srpskih radikala Vojislavu Šešelju u Den Haagu, prekinuto 11. veljače zbog zastrašivanja svjedoka, nastavit će se 12. siječnja 2009., priopćio je u srijedu Međunarodni kazneni sud za bivšu Jugoslaviju (ICTY) DEN HAAG - Sudsko vijeće haaškog suda odlučilo je 11. veljače na zahtjev tužiteljstva prekinuti suđenje Vojislavu Šešelju zbog prijetnji koje su dobili neki svjedoci tužiteljstva. "Sudsko vijeće smatra da se situacija u međuvremenu promijenila i naredilo je nastavak suđenja", ističe ICTY u priopćenju. Vojislav Šešelj optužen je za ratne zločine u Hrvatskoj, Vojvodini i Bosni i Hercegovini. Od početka suđenja u studenome 2007. godine, tužiteljstvo je do sada protiv Šešelja izvelo 71 svjedoka i ostalo ih je još 11 do kraja tužiteljskog dijela dokaznog postupka. Vijeće je odlučilo da će pozvati samo sedam od tih jedanaest svjedoka. U odvojenom postupku Šešelj je u srpnju ove godine osuđen na 15 mjeseci zatvora zbog nepoštovanja suda objavom identiteta zaštićenog svjedoka u jednoj od svojih knjiga. - Sviđa vam se članak?
