SYNOPSIS FOR THE MILOSEVIC “TRIAL” JUNE 10 2003
www.slobodan-milosevic.org – June 10, 2003
Written by: Andy Wilcoxson
After a four day weekend the so-called “trial” of Slobodan Milosevic resumed at The Hague Tribunal. President Milosevic finished the cross-examination of the secret witness testifying under the pseudonym of “C-47.” Then the prosecution called another secret witness who testified under the pseudonym of “C-17.”
“C-47” continued to make an ass of himself. It is no wonder that he is a secret witness. If I was saying the things that he was saying I’d be embarrassed to show my face too.
“C-47” explained that nobody ordered the Chetnik volunteers to kill and loot, but that they allegedly did simply because they didn’t have anything better to do. “C-47” went on to say that his unit didn’t do such things, but that he saw others doing it.
President Milosevic asked “C-47” if he ever reported any of the crimes that he says the Chetniks were committing, and “C-47” replied that he didn’t report anything to anybody.
After “C-47” finished, the prosecutor called another secret witness. They call this one “C-17.” “C-17” testified about events around Mostar. In particular “C-17” was talking about a camp that was being used as a base for Chetnik volunteer units and the Krajina Red Berets.
The prosecutor kept on referring to a volunteer unit from the SAO Krajina, known as the Krajina Red Berets as simply the “Red Berets.” It is obvious that the prosecutor was attempting to confuse people into thinking that the Serbian JSO (also known as the Red Berets) was at this camp in Mostar.
The commander of the Krajina Red Berets, one Dragan Vasiljkovic, has already come to the Hague Tribunal and testified that they were not under the command of Slobodan Milosevic, and that the Serbian JSO had nothing to with the Krajina Red Berets – these two totally separate units just had the same name that’s all.
“C-17’s” testimony consisted of what the Krajina Red Berets and the Chetniks, based at this camp, allegedly did around Mostar.
Seeing as how “C-47” testified that the Chetniks wanted to overthrow Milosevic, and seeing as how the commander of the Krajina Red Berets has already denied that they were under Milosevic’s command; I fail to see what either one of these witnesses has to do with Milosevic.
The Tribunal recently gave the prosecution an additional 100 days to present its case against Milosevic, because the original deadline for them to finish their case had expired. Seeing such worthless witnesses makes me wonder what the point of giving them more time was.
The only thing that the prosecution has proven beyond any doubt is that they don’t have a case.
After the indictment against him was read-out at the beginning of the “trial” President Milosevic said that it was written at the intellectual level of a “retarded seven-year-old child.” After seeing the prosecution, for nearly 2 years now, trying to prove this false indictment, I’m afraid that I have to disagree with President Milosevic. I think that a retarded seven-year-old could have done better than the prosecution.
