8:09 pm
a man the international community called a convicted criminal for his one time comrades the former general slobodan was nothing short of a wool hero who gave his life for an ideal deal me as a child to know such a man. he was a true soldier just like all of us who fought for croatia we never attacked anyone we were defending our homes i was defending must in shocking scenes on wednesday drank poison shortly after the judge at the international will try to try bunol confirmed he would serve a twenty year sentence he later died from the effects of the poison for other person ins his action confirmed his guilt. it's not and i think this was an act of a coward he couldn't face the truth with a verdict he shouldn't have done it but the court is confirmed only allegations that probably is a war criminal increases parliament in zagreb lawmakers observed a minute's silence the prime minister clearly unhappy with the court's verdict. so
