genocide in ordering the massacre is robert insecure and. he's threatening to start on destruction. remain firmly focused on the european union. thank you very much for coming into the show well first of all under which circumstances when did you did you meet. well. when i was working in the former yugoslavia during the war i met the general mood each more than once also met his political leader of the former president of america sort of another one carriage which you know he has been on trial in the hague scenes two thousand and eight. and. now. it's joined him i don't know that show several times between one thousand nine hundred two and ninety ninety five. first time it was in pali capable 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 what each killed civilian people. and not throng. seven or. a thousand civilians. were killed by a soldier of self general. so it was in my eyes you really yes are you sure. that each was convinced and ruthless nationalist is a true yes exactly really i can see i can repeat your expression. i was more watching him several times i saw. from this during the

war and 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 legal. officer 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 ratko luggage was arrested last month after sixteen years on the run spotlight sealing the deal neither has more. than last month the rest of rock and light each game is a long awaited relief and moslems but was not accepted as happily by serbs bringing that bit to memories of the violence to go through in the nineteen ninety's the

collapse of yugoslavia was accompanied by fees struggle for territorial control and they might have blood shed who are just massacred since the second world war is associated with chain rule right. in one thousand nine hundred five that bosnian serb forces on the east command attacked a un controlled town of srebrenica tens of thousands of bosnian civilians according to the us. and trade you know 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 right 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 han didn't want each over to the hague tribunal was treason many said serbia would prefer

their own who wants to deal with the case so best to rest an extradition of the former bosnian serb army chief was one of the key conditions for the chance to join the european union the township membership would mean billions of dollars worth of bronte. listen 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 serbia and say during this. sad case but i have information from my colleagues and from historic calls from belgrade from. that it was a crime and said personally ordered to kill this innocent people. would

you agree to what the west generally believes that that the serbs there the lion's share of responsibility for for the atrocities and and for the crimes committed during the bosnian war. to be fair i must say that. no sight of the conflict was very humane neither syrups not creations not muslims it was the war but i am sure that the late president of serbia. dictator slobodan milosevic and his visibly from zagreb former president of creation. the share of the most of the blame for initiating the long and bloody war i met was there several times i had some interviews with both of them and.

they i know personally they agreed on a plan to divide and herzegovina so so so this is me and if we get back to the 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 of the police who you are a witness to any war crimes three trials yourself. especially in sorrow ever since are over it was ninety ninety two ninety ninety three ninety ninety four i lived in the hall of the hotel in the center of. together various foreign journalists and it seems that was a agreement between serbs and muslims do not. push to do not. do not make some bad for journalists

living in the. in this hotel because it will work against them yes that's why it was a unique building in the center of soraya wasn't a national wasn't there her sound you see and see play. this is from the bullets on this hotel 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. in general explain is there less pollution for this very high level of hatred for is. high level of violence during the civil war. the main reason of this tragedy is nationalist. serbian nationalism muslims nationalism creation nationalism now so you want to say that that the former

yugoslavia yes it was a nationalist country. it was. it didn't happen like this i mean it should have been nationalist before before the war seriously there were only two federal so-called communist countries in the europe soviet union and former federal soviet republic of u.u.u. for chicken stock you'll say yes it's exception because after they divorced czechs and slovaks they are living in peace in the sea and. in harmony in. the european union but in the case of 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 and you met

a bloody show yes it was in montenegro really yes it was. i didn't expect. about i'm a journalist i was looking for this or worse while. i was in montenegro. and i find a fare on the mountains and an inspector billy i saw one guy. it was rock and luggage he was already hiding was he yes yes did you have a chance to talk to him to communicate. he said let's just hear law and disappear. can we say that. each was characterized. as particularly cruel person compared to other pretty simple some of the war was the special or no more lots of people know like it was

a puppet in the hands of slobodan milosevic yes because milosevic gave them orders milosevic paid him money. to send weapons to boston serbs. it doesn't mean that he's not. guilty he is but he is a political leader was slobodan milosevic. and i believe that now in cake. you will show two. trials first time secret documents captured together with him in the will it's close to belgrade and it will be documents. against not only slobodan milosevic who unfortunately that was. the

result. trial but against the leader of syrups nationalists rediculus slobodan sorry voice enough special. was paramilitary groups killed people on the same way like soldiers or luggage says vegas unlawful witness of the warnings posted in the. i think some russian general spotlight will do back we'll continue this interview in less than a minute so stay with us don't go. wealthy british style stock.

market why not. why not what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into cars report. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the ground. we've got the future of coverage. welcome back to spotlight on algorithm now than just a reminder that my guest in the studio here today is sort of gig

a witness on the world both 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 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 treat to a wrist the mean that that that enjoyed some cover up from from the military you just mentioned before the break that you just occasionally met him in a cafe in montenegro really just having cup of coffee what with somebody over there because social so so. it's he wasn't somewhere like bin ladin some secret hideaway place so by the way. i think

it's very good that. they captured the. blood is she alive not like it was in. where is bin laden and we have some serious misunderstanding between. you know official version. some controversy from the journalist the official version is that he was he was captured by chance they just happened well he was a special operations is a true. human luggage yes yes. some time ago i. think with serbian president the current serbian president the leader of serbian democrats. did show we know each other twenty years.

i'm very satisfied with his policy now and i ask him morris. tell me between us and you is it true that you didn't know nothing about his location all these years he said trust me i didn't i believe to hear but but. muggeridge was arrested under a rather strange circumstances i have no reason to doubt the current president but it's. considering. in the recent here he could hardly live so why it was a professional medical. city very very aid reaches and available if you went underground more water then when the security forces arrested blood which. my serbian comics told me about it last week when i was in belgrade he had expensive medicine with him. that is very hard to find this medicine

in belgrade now really so so it came from from europe from western europe somewhere but somebody. 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 like was you in belgrade t.v. . and that was the vaulting or spectator of about the main. the main interesting event from that week and only one. spectator school named the case of realize as

a main event people talked about. probably not enough basketball to handle. prices etc etc and what. i want to say that. the terrorists did not cause a major public outcry in serbia remorse serbia's it didn't surprise yes yes most serbians realize that not each and those of his link. 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 not it is not a problem it is the past of the country is if not each. of these guys are really the past when saying do you mean syria and

former yugoslavia in general today are no longer can time in the region with this virus of nationalism well unfortunately. 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 stand paris ago and you know that there is. fighting between politicians about the future of course our former part of serbia we have. questions on in macedonia and i will repeat a lot of problems in serbia and they call. serbian economy do you think the. gov

will survive in the current well it's the very hard to say what so what can we expect from this country in future but very good source and. when i was a young journalist and belgrade the young girls three and people and i was working in belgrade tall now he's executive his name is well in paintings car and sometimes i can't call him and ask him anything what can we expect. even the poorest man in bosnia cannot answer for the future because you know serapis one. they have another idea as the. leaders of the current. came in either way. the problem of diplomacy. mixed it together and find.

some good solution but i think. politicians and journalists will have a lot of work many many years but what about the bosnian serbs do you think that the bosnian serbs will get. the right to secede following the example of course of the because if not that would be double standards what well you know well it's a different solution i mean i mean that the muslims the albanians and the surge because. it's the main question because the. statute of now is. is not finally. clean there is all they deal of the great serbia. from. serbia from part of those and carrots and from the part of creation and that was plan made by dictators

not with the milosevic and this idea is still there life in the society. what about the hague tribunal. bill that he tried to look for for for for me this lady considered to be an example of justice do you believe that it's really doing a good 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 they are serves do you consider this fair. because we know that that also that not only serves of muslims croats lots of lots of ethnic groups

participated in the war but the sometimes it looks like the the tribe is only for serbs and no i am not agree with this view because it's very easy serbs populations to waste more then in creation and waste more in and herzegovina and many times more than in slovenia. do you think that general rascal not each who is in syria do you think that he'll get a fair trial in their hate. i hope. i hope that he will have a fair trial i'm sure that he will have because. now he is free to think about his future it's in the his interest last

question the arrest collided 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 bill great we have. with the case of course or the next step will be costello thank you thank you very much for being with us and just to remind you that my guest on the show today was senate leaders an awful with this the boss the n. word and an offer of a book he just published on the on the events informing the slightly in the lines and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to have your sound spot might just drop there will be back with more from his one comment on not the one in and outside this country and so then they are taking place. just
