On Thursday March 31, thirteen years after his voluntary surrender, a trial chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague will deliver a verdict in the case of Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against non-Serbs in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Serbian province of Vojvodina in 1991-1993. In their closing statement made four years ago, prosecutors demanded that Seselj be found guilty and sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role in ethnic cleansing campaigns against non-Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and against Croats in Vojvodina, which included murder, deportation, maltreatment, plunder and destruction of property owned by Croats and Muslims. "He is responsible for the suffering of tens of thousands of victims who were expelled from their homes, murdered, detained, tortured, raped, and whose villages, towns, and religious sites were wantonly destroyed as a result of his words and his acts," lead prosecutor Mathias Marcussen said. Seselj has refused to attend the sentencing hearing. He said in Belgrade two weeks ago that he was not interested in the verdict and would appeal regardless of the outcome, adding that he had information that he would be sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was granted a provisional release in November 2015 on medical grounds. Seselj is charged with nine counts of crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of war, including massacres committed at Ovcara, outside Vukovar, and in Vocin, both in eastern Croatia, and the expulsion of Croats from the Vojvodina village of Hrtkovci. In his public speeches he advocated creation of a Greater Serbia, with its western borders along the Virovitica-Karlovac-Karlobag line, and used extreme rhetoric to mobilise and incite both the armed volunteer units of his party and other Serbian forces to expel and kill Croats and Muslims, according to the prosecution. During the trial the tribunal heard a recording in which Seselj explained how his party members maintained contacts and cooperation with the Serbian Ministry of the Interior (MUP), the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) General Staff and the Serbian State Security Service (SDB) and how his volunteers were supplied with weapons at JNA barracks and were trained before being dispatched to Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The prosecution took this as proof of his participation in a joint criminal enterprise that also involved former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, JNA generals Veljko Kadijevic and Blagoje Adzic, SDB officials Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic, Croatian and Bosnian Serb rebel leaders Milan Babic, Milan Martic and Radovan Karadzic, MUP official Radmilo Bogdanovic and Serbian paramilitary leader Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan.

Međunarodni kazneni sud za bivšu Jugoslaviju (ICTY) će sud u srijedu objaviti odluku o zahtjevu vođe srpskih radikala Vojislava Šešelja, optuženog za ratne zločine u Hrvatskoj, BiH i progon vojvođanskih Hrvata, za odbacivanjem optužnice koji je podnio temeljem pravila ICTY-ja koja omogućuju da optuženi, nakon što tužitelji završe izvođenje svojih dokaza, objasni sudskom vijeću zašto misli da tužitelji nisu dokazali njegovu odgovornost. Usmeno ročište na kojem je Šešelj svoj zahtjev obrazložio održano je od 7. do 9. ožujka i on je tada tražio da ga ICTY ne samo oslobodi krivnje nego je zatražio da mu se isplate milijuni eura odštete zbog osmogodišnjeg pritvora. Šešelj je ustvrdio da se optužnica temelji na lažnim optužbama, a svjedoke koji su ga teretili za govore mržnje i poticanje dobrovoljaca SRS-a odbacio je kao lažne. Tužiteljstvo tereti Šešelja da je, zajedno s drugim sudionicima zločinačkog pothvata predvođenog bivšim jugoslavenskim predsjednikom Slobodanom Miloševićem , pokušao uspostaviti novu srpsku državu na dijelovima Hrvatske, BiH i same Srbije kroz progon pod patronatom države, koji je uključivao ubojstva, deportacije, zlostavljanja, pljačku i uništavanje imovine Hrvata i muslimana. Optužen je za zločine protiv čovječnosti u BiH i Hrvatskoj , a posebno za masakre na Ovčari i u Voćinu te progon Hrvata iz Vojvodine Ideju 'velike Srbije' sa zapadnom granicom Virovitica-Karlovac-Karlobag zagovarao je u javnim nastupima, a svojom je ekstremnom retorikom mobilizirao i poticao na progon Hrvata i muslimana ne samo sebi podređene stranačke dobrovoljačke oružane jedinice, nego i druge srpske snage, smatra tužiteljstvo. Tužiteljstvo je kao dokaze uvelo niz njegovih huškačkih govora i snimke obilazaka, u odori ili civilu, srpskih dobrovoljačkih postrojbi koje je poticao da pustoše i čine zločine u Hrvatskoj i BiH. Šešelj na tim snimkama objašnjava kako je mobilizirao dobrovoljce Srpske radikalne stranke i upućivao ih u 'srpske zemlje' u Hrvatskoj i BiH. Tijekom dokaznog postupka tužitelji su kao svjedoke izveli brojne žrtve, uključujući preživjele masakra na Ovčari i u Voćinu u kojem su sudjelovali Šešeljevi dobrovoljci. Svjedočili su i prognani Hrvati iz vojvođanskog mjesta Hrtkovci koji su se nakon njegova govora u Skupštini u Beogradu u travnju 1992., kada se zauzeo za progon Hrvata iz Vojvodine, te njegova mitinga u Hrtkovcima u svibnju '92. na kojem je čitan popis Hrvata i Mađara koji moraju otići, počeli iseljavati u strahu i uz prijetnje. Iz Hrtkovaca je odselilo oko 700 od 1000 Hrvata. - Sviđa vam se članak? Preporučite ga prijateljima putem ovih servisa: Pošaljite mailom
