walls of several buildings pockmarked with bullets and shells serve as a reminder of the bitter fighting between serbs and muslims. even though there were many serve invalid as arounds for bringing the town has a predominantly muslim population. what was later called a massacre took place here in one nine hundred ninety five according to different sources anywhere between two thousand and eight thousand people were either killed or went missing. the main blame for the killings is on russia co-manage. refinanced all three of my sons the northern and silenced my husband. what can i say dollar it just look around and there were all these people and do you trust anything never was. back in ninety ninety three trowbridge needs or was a muslim enclave on the territory of

a self declared entity called republika srpska. troubridge that was surrounded by militias troops but muslim troops led by now so all they were in control of the situation inside the town. gender in the seventh is christmas for the orthodox church on that day in ninety ninety three storage his troops launched a massive attack on there by serbian villages. the village of cravats is fifteen kilometers from stripper nitsa christos leon of each a serb has lived here with his family since his birth. on january the seventh nine hundred ninety three he was on the front line and the afternoon he and fellow soldiers were told that the muslims had captured cravats after attacking it from stripper needs. the serbs were ordered to retreat. so then this is your brother and

i could be in there too crowded somewhere to troops liberated the village zone for two days after there was a hairy stranger burn flash in the village at all i found the body of my father and a hundred meters from the house. had been stabbed in the gut her head got out his face. this footage filmed by police shows serbs massacred in villages around. various estimates put the number of serbian villages ruined by not so rich as troops during the war a more than one hundred. the names of three thousand two hundred sixty two casualties have now being established. post-mortem reports make it clear the most of the people were tortured before they were killed. service minister for public health zoran stankovic worked at the institute for

forensic studies during the war he witnessed the inquest into the deaths of the serbs and examinations from mass graves in bosnia or did. we saw the bodies of captives military men with their heads chopped off one served for example had been hit on the head with a blunt object and his eyes had been cut out moreover it was clear that his eyes were moved when he was still alive many of the bodies bore signs of a very cruel method of murder we informed the hague tribunal about it and supplied it with all of a little records for the first fifty. one of the most popular theories concerning caesar a stripper an example i'm not of just troops is that it was an act of revenge against muslims. nine hundred ninety three un resolution called on peacekeeping forces to disarm a combat formations that entrenched themselves and strengthen itself the muslim enclave was declared a demilitarized zone. the dutch the talent of group the race was dispatched to

monitor the cease fire. missile does not unionise but instead of disarming the muslim formations as they had committed themselves to under the agreement on srebrenica signed by me in the general more your united nations forces turned those safe areas into terrorist and fundamentalist bases from where all villages and towns were attacked it's a ship at all it was starting from nine hundred ninety three we haven't taken a single action against threatening despite watching how the muslim side was being oh my goodness sometimes they even used helicopters to airlift weapons from iran and. the serve all may waited for the disarmament of now so rich his troops for nearly two years before wrath come laddish decided to storm trooper nixon in the summer of one nine hundred ninety five. serbian troops captured the city on july the eleventh. according to another theory the governments of bosnia and

herzegovina simply gave stripper needs or away to the serbs. national divestiture would be was lost in nine hundred ninety three myself and other public figures from stripper needs met with me as president i liaise a bag of it and sarah oh so this is what he said to us if the serbs into trouble and something like five thousand muslims died that would create a good excuse for a nato invasion and nato forces would then stop on all things serbian units and at those nagan us of. thousands of dead bodies on both sides. mothers without children wives without husbands. distrust and hatred between those who were once neighbors. that is the outcome of the standoff in tripoli itself. or for those looking questions crimes were committed by both

sides most of the muslims were shot and killed in the muslim world cup. tests shows that they were killed from a distance this may mean that some of them died in battle and most of the crimes against serbs were not perpetrated before. they were simply murdered in cold blood or their heads or chopped off. with george the hague tribunal gave the commander of the group of muslim troops. two years in prison after a second trial he was acquitted and four in orange york gilkey in two thousand and eight he was arrested by bosnian police for extortion and unlawful possession of. today the former commander feels comfortable in his home and those named town of close. up both people in my country serbia feel very bitter about the rulings of the hague tribunal simply because there reflect

double standards the pertinent question is whether the expertise of the tribunal was high enough there are also questions about the professionalism of those who belittled the bills of the queue his choice for the world. although rather candidates was already on the wanted list up until two thousand and three to no special precautions to go into hiding or serve his government had not even stripped him of his bodyguards. in the ninety's when i've come let it slip to belgrade in the house where his son now has an office for his small firm. from two thousand on woods serbian police began regular round ups and such as in the homes of not it his closest relatives it is still unclear whether general was at that time. i don't think i need to talk about my father's life even today it is the subject of too much speculation i will

not say when i saw him last before his arrest i can only say that we stayed here together during the one nine hundred ninety nine bombardment of belgrade. i did see my father after his arrest but i am not allowed to talk with the media about anything relating to the hague tribunal got us from the part. of the suv in fulton a sion was angered by rep come now that she's arrest there were actions in support of the general in many cities and serbia. demonstrators demanded the government resign because they felt it was betraying the nation's heroes. in belgrade one such protest resulted in a clash with the police. this is a poster from a demonstration we held several years ago calling from a lot it's to be handed over to the hague tribunal it reads our years are not for wasting to the hague. activists from the serbian youth organization want

all people who committed crimes in the former yugoslavia to be handed over to the hague tribunal this petition count pain is just one example of the frequent activities on the streets of belgrade to support the movement. these young people make no distinction between muslim and criminals they feel tensions in the balkans will die down once all was wanted by the hague tribunal brought to justice. and a. country in the territory of the former yugoslavia has its own version of history reformat each of them has its own heroes and criminals this is a very bad situation it is a breeding ground for future conflict. with. the serbian government has now handed over all the main serbs wanted by the hague tribunal in the proceedings in the run how judge the last suspect on the wanted list was

captured on july the twentieth two thousand and eleven. the european union wants serbia to meet quite a few conditions before it can become an e.u. member but so far we have been unable to comply with all of them so the arrest of carriage military action had a church has paved the way for talks about our possible entry into the a year of. serbian society is split over the prospect of merging with greater europe more than half of serbs polled distrust the new. car rather than carriage which was still in hiding from the police the phrase rather than courage it street was written on the house ways lived. and after the rest of refco luggage a growing number of images of him might be seen appearing on the streets of belgrade.
