ICTY, Serbia legal advisors on Seselj acquittal

(31 Mar 2016) In a sweeping defeat for United Nations prosecutors, the tribunal investigating war crimes in the former Yugoslavia acquitted Serbian ultra-nationalist politician Vojislav Seselj on Thursday. Seselj was acquitted on all nine counts alleging he was responsible for or incited atrocities by Serbian paramilitaries in the wars in Bosnia and Croatia in the early 1990s. In their majority ruling, the three-judge panel ruled that Serbian plans to carve out a "Greater Serbia" by uniting lands they considered Serb territory in Croatia and Bosnia was a "political goal" and not a criminal plan, as prosecutors alleged. The plan often was accompanied by military campaigns that drove out thousands of non-Serb civilians and left thousands of others dead. Sasa Obradovic, a legal adviser to Serbia in the Hague, said he was surprised by the outcome of the judgment, particularly considering Seselj had already spent 11 years and eight months in the detention of the ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia). ICTY press officer Nenad Golcevski said both the defence and the prosecution had the right to appeal.
