Serwer: Haradinaj, Thaci and other commanders may be charged by Special

Former American diplomat and Balkan Affairs connoisseur Daniel Cerwer have reacted to today's verdict in The Hague, where the Bosnian Serb Army commander for genocide and crimes against humanity has been sentenced.

Making an analysis of the work of The Hague's Tribunal about its political impact, Serwer has said that even when he did not capture wartime, this Tribunal has removed war leaders from the political scene.

Serwer has mentioned with this case that had Bosnia and Serbia not happened that way, they would have more tense reports.

Mladic and Karadzic had been forced to flee, Milosevic had been defeated in elections, and had been extradited if they had remained politically active or only present in their political environments Sarajevo and Belgrade would have been more tense.

This is less true of Croatian, Bosnian and Kosovo indictees, separately why their highest leadership had never been charged. Croatian President Tudjman and President Izetbegovic are dead. Prime Minister Haradinaj has been charged and released. Now, he is once again prime minister. He and the president of Kosovo, or other KLA figures, can still be charged by the “Special Court” of Kosovo consisting of international staff in The Hague and dealing with post-war crimes”, writes Serwer.

“Some may say that failure to hold more Croatian, Bosnian leaders accountable and the release of some of their military leaders shows the Tribunal is unilateral against Serbs, or implements only the winner's justice. Some releases are considered difficult to understand, but it is important to remember that the ICTY tribunal, which follows the best practices in contemporary criminal procedures, is more likely to free the guilty than condemn the innocent, and thus must be”, Serwer wrote.
