the european union this became possible after belgrade sent general raft on linage to the hague where he's going to try the general who's accused of genocide and ordering the massacre and insecure and. he's threatening to start a hunger strike to be honest leadership remains firmly focused on the european. union. again thank you very much for coming coming to the show well first of all under which circumstances when he chooses you need to let. when i was working in the former yugoslavia during the war i met general milady each more than once also met his political leader of the former president of republicans sort of another one corretja each you know he has been on trial in the hague since two thousand and eight. and. now. it's

joining him i don't know the church several times between one thousand nine hundred two and ninety ninety five. first time it was in pali the capital of bosnian serbs and then several times in. this city that was shelled the ground by and large forces. i was weakness soldier of of general killed the civilian people. in throng. seven or. a thousand civilians. were killed by a soldier a sword. so it was in my eyes you really yes are you sure that. was convinced and ruthless nationalists those are true yes exactly i can

see i can repeat your expression. i was more watching him several times i saw. from this during the war and i have the impression he was like a small local napoleon yes he liked very much his. uniform he'd like to show his guns where. in life he was with all. his colleagues from the military academy in belgrade told me that they didn't expect that he became a general fugitive bosnian serb army general radical lightish was arrested last month after sixteen years on the run spotlight sealing the deal neither has more. last month the rest of russia and live each game is

a long awaited really bosnian muslims who was not accepted as happily by serbs bringing back to memories of the violence to go through in the one nine hundred ninety s. the collapse of yugoslavia was accompanied by a feast struggle for territorial control and we might watch it who are just massacred since the second world war is associated with change. in one thousand nine hundred five it bosnian serb forces on the command protect the un control of srebrenica tens of thousands of bosnian civilians according to the u. . when tre buno why did she spoke thousands of women and children and their execution of more than seven thousand men and boys wanted by the international war crimes tribunals while each had been on the run for sixteen years before his arrest and extradition to the hague. event caused huge protests in serbia with

thousands coming onto the streets of belgrade claiming that hand in light each over to the hague tribunal was treason and many inside serbia would prefer their own who wants to deal with the case so there's a rest and extradition of the former bosnian serb army chief was one of the key conditions for the chance to join the european union the time for membership could mean billions of dollars worth of bronte. the main accusation against larry is the trouble it's a massacre. i'm sure he he really believes personal responsibility for it well. i mean personally i wasn't in severing inside your incompleteness. said case but i have information from my colleagues and from historic codes from belgrade from.

that it was a crime and he personally ordered to kill this innocent people. would do you agree to what the west generally believes that that the serbs bear the lion's share of responsibility for for the atrocities and and for the crimes committed during the bus to work. to be fair i must say that there are no say of the conflict was very humane neither syrups not creations not muslims it was the war what i'm sure the late president of serbia dictator slobodan milosevic and his visit from zeigler former president of grace for. the share of the most of the blame for initiating bill long and bloody war i met was

there several times i had some interviews with both of them and. they i know personally they agree on a plan to divide and herzegovina so so so this is the main if we can actually atrocities you had to you had to report as a journalist. on the on the atrocities and what happened. in the field in these villages all of the police who you witness any were crimes to interest yourself. especially in survivor. it was ninety ninety two ninety nine three ninety ninety four i lived in the holiday inn hotel in the center of. various foreign journalists and it seems it was a agreement between serbs and muslims do not. push

not. do not make some bad for join the list living in the in the in this hotel because it will work against them yes that's right it was a unique building in the center of soraya wasn't it not at nationals wasn't that they heard some bullets you can see the. this is from the bullets on this photo even today i was inside i was three months ago it's a lot of destroyed buildings in the center of the city with the hotel still the hotel i was living in the same hotel and city in general how explain or is there an explanation for this very high level of hatred for is. a high level of violence during the civil war. the main

reason of this tragedy is nationalist. serbian nationalism muslims nationalism creation nationalism now and so you want to say that the slowly it was a nationalist country. it was. it didn't happen like this i mean it should have been nationalist before before there were serious there were only two federal so-called communist countries in the europe soviet union and former federal soviet republic of. stark you'll see yes it's exceptionally because after they divorced czechs and slovaks they are living in peace in the same. in harmony in. the european union but in the case of the former soviet union it was a small number of victims but in yugoslavia there were thousands of people killed

because of nationalism nationalism is on the first place last time you met a bloody change it was in in a month to do yes it was. i didn't expect some rumors about a journalist i was looking for this or almost while. i was in montenegro. and i find a fare on that nonsense and inspectable i saw one guy. it was rock on luggage he was already hiding was he yes yes did you have a chance to talk to him to communicate with just. he said let's just kill law and disappear and that's it. can we say that. each was characterized. as particularly cruel

person compared to other pretty disciplined some of the world was the special or. a lot of people like he was a puppet in the hands of slobodan milosevic yes because milosevic gave him orders milosevic paid him money. to send weapons to serbs. it doesn't mean that he's not. guilty he is but. his political leader was slobodan milosevic. and i believe that now in cake. will show or two. trials first time secret documents captured together with him in the village close to belgrade and that will be documents. against not only slobodan milosevic who unfortunately died was.

the result. trial but against the leader of syrups nationalists radicals slobodan. voice enough special. cause paramilitary groups kill people on the same way like soldiers of iraq i'm not it says the lawful witness of the warnings posted here in the nineteen nineties russian judge spotlight will be back we'll continue this interview in less than a minute so stay with us still.

welcome back to spotlight than just a reminder that my guest in the studio here today is. a witness of the world both near general luggage several times he's a russian journalist and he just published this book about about the events of the civil war in the former yugoslavia in the ninety's we're talking we're talking about them live each case we're talking about the guy that was arrested and is now in the hague facing facing trial.

does the fact that it took so long that it was so hard to to to arrest him i mean that that that enjoyed some cover up from from the serbian military you just mentioned before the break that you just occasionally met him in a cafe in mountain areas just having a cup of coffee will somebody over there it's just so so. it's he wasn't somewhere like billard in some secret hideaway place so so by the way. i think it's very good that. they kept a. bloody alive not like it was in case it was bin laden and we have some serious misunderstanding between.

you know official version and. some controversial from the journal is the official version is that he was he was captured by chance they just happened well to most of the special operations this is a true. human love each yes yes. some time ago i. think with serbian president the current serbian president leader of serbian democrats. started sure we know each other twenty years and. i'm very satisfied with his policy now and i ask him boris please tell me between us you know is it true that you didn't know nothing about his location all these years he said trust me i didn't. i believed him but but. what it was the rest they found there rather strange

circumstances i have no reason to doubt the current president that it but considering. the recent here he could hardly live so why it was a professional medical. city very very rich is unavailable if you went underground more water then when the security forces arrested blood each. my servant comics told me about it last week when i was in belgrade expensive medicine was him. that is very hard to find this medicine in belgrade now really so says came from from europe from western europe somewhere but somebody zealots the one that is not. personally ok how influential are the supporters of luggage today in this. kinda society be split over his arrest yes the society is split but.

last week i told you i was. a guest in belgrade at the presentation of our book in serbian language and i was a guest. in belgrade t.v. . and that was the vaulting spirit spectator upset about the main. the main interesting event from that week and only one. spectators named the case of realize as a main event people talked about. probably not enough basketball scandal great cultural crisis etc etc and what. i want to say that. the other is did not cause a major public outcry in serbia more serbia's it didn't surprise yes yes more

serbians i realize that and let each and those of his lick. fortunate past their professional lawyers should work with and serbia should look to the future of to find a way on the european union because serbia now has a lot of problems what it is not a problem it is the cost of the country is it bloody each children get these guys are really. seeing do you mean syria and for you this live in general today are no longer confined in the region with this virus of nationalism well unfortunately the bulk of the region is still under political economical and moral tension. this is why the rest of it should be welcomed as another step towards service european union membership

and we had a lot of troubles in carrots ago in that you know that there is. fighting between politicians about the future of course so a former part of serbia we have. questions on months ago in macedonia and i will repeat a lot of problems in serbia and call. sort of an economy do you think that boston and it's a governor will survive in the current well it's the fairly hard to say what what can we expect from this country in the future but a very good source and. when i was a young journalist and belgrade young cost three and they told me it was working to build great so now he's executive his name is billy and sometimes i can call him

and ask him what can we expect. even the poorest man in bosnia cannot answer for the future because you know serapis one. they have another ideas the. leaders of the car and. him now the way. the problem of diplomacy. mixed it together and find the. good solution but i think that. politicians and journalists will have a lot of work and many many years what about the bosnian serbs do you think the bosnian serbs will get. the right to secede following the example of cost of a vehicle because if not that would be double standards what. was the difference c g n e i mean the muslims the albanians and the certain cause.

it's the main question because the. status of boston sort of now is. it's not finally. clean there is a deal of the great serbia. from. serbia from part of those and carrots ago and from the part of creation and that was planned made by. dictator slobodan milosevic and this idea is still the life in the society who. go to the hague tribunal. will that he tried to fulfill for for me the slave you consider to be an example of justice do you believe that it's really doing the job i think so because. i was in. twice and i had

interview with the leaders of this institute and them sure they are not against serbs like some people say like to say in moscow or in belgrade they're against crime crime. in belgrade in the zagreb and in. the majority of the accused by the hague tribunal for the just like there are serbs do you consider this fair. because we know that there are also the not only serves of muslims croats lots of lots of ethnic groups participated in the war but the sometimes it looks like the the tribunals is only for serbs no i am not agree with this view because it's very easy serbs populations why it's more than in creation and twice more in the

most than occur in the herzegovina and many times more than in slovenia. do you think that general russia could not reach who is in syria do you think that he'll get a fair trial in the hague. i hope. i hope that he will have a fair trial i'm sure that he will have because. i look it's. now he's free to think about his future it's in his interest and less question the arrest rascal a lot of each it is considered to be a door opener for serbia do you think then that now that this arrest will pave the way for serbia into the e.u. yes i'm sure but it's not the last problem belgrade we have. with the case of course over the next step will be causal thank you thank you

very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest on the show today was sylvia gruesome awful with this the boss the n word and an author i was brought he just published on the on the events informing the somalia. and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your sun spot might just drop there will be back with more for us with a comment on what they want and and also there's been free time so then i take place. as a neutral. in
