Basically he was the leader of the Serb (Bosnian Serbs) movement to kill all non Serbs on the territory of Bosnia. Its said that he was against "Muslims" and thats what makes it confusing for people to understand. It implies that he was agianst religious people only which is not true.Mek-Stizzle wrote:
They were talking on the radio about this, they were saying how he's not like Milosevic at all. He doesn't have that sort of personality to do this. So he'll most likely completely co-operate properly with the court. So according to them it'll be a different story.zeidmaan wrote:

He is going to drag out his trial for years and years costing millions of €, making a complete mockery out of the War Crimes Tribunal. Than if he survives till the end he will spend few years in prison and than die or get released due to old age.
I still don't fully understand all this Yugoslavian stuff. Is he on trial for participating in those Muslim massacres (massacres, against the Muslims, that is..?) or is he on the Muslim side, or the Bosnian Serbs.....or the.....Idunno
Ill try to explain.
In former Yugoslavia Bosnian nationality was abolished. Suddenly people in Bosnia had to declare them selves as Croats or Serbs. This didnt sit well of course and many years later the government created a ridiculous thing called "Muslim by Nationality". You even had Christian Muslims, Jewish Muslims etc. Even though Bosnian nationality was instituted again before the war (after the secession from Yugoslavia), the media and the international community went with "Muslims" instead of "Bosnians". So when you read about the war, even today, it says "Serbs, Croats and Muslims". This is very unfair to the thousands of Serbs and thousands of Croats who fought on the Bosnia side.
