Michael Williams, the former advisor and spokesman of the former chief of the UN Mission to Bosnia Jasusi Akasi, testified at the so-called "trial" of Slobodan Milosevic on Tuesday.

The main point of Mr. Williams's testimony seemed to be to bad mouth the VRS and the Bosnian-Serb leadership. None of that has anything to do with Milosevic, but this is the Hague Tribunal, and propaganda is the main order of the day.

Mr. Williams's "evidence" against Milosevic was practically non-existent. Williams doubted the veracity of the blockade that Yugoslavia placed on the Republika Srpska, over their refusal to accept various peace plans, but he didn't have any evidence that the Yugoslav side was violating the blockade. All he had was his suspicions.

Williams did however confirm that Milosevic's policy from the beginning was that the war in Bosnia should be stopped. He also confirmed that Milosevic endorsed various peace plans aimed at ending the war.

In other news, much has been made in the media recently over a document produced by the prosecution last week which purports to "link" Milosevic to the alleged events at Srebrenica.

The document in question is allegedly an order from a Bosnian-Serb police commander where the MUP of Serbia mentioned as participating in counter-insurgency operations in Srebrenica.

The document has some major problems. The problems indicate that the document is quite probably a forgery:

1. The document is typewritten, but no Serbian type characters appear in the typewritten text.

2. The document is typed on a blank piece of paper. It is not typed on official letterhead.

3. The document isn't signed.

4. The document isn't stamped with the seal of the relevant government organ.

5. The document contains typographical errors.

6. The words "very urgent" are typed in the English language on the top of this alleged "Serbian document."

From looking at the document it is quite obvious that anybody with access to a typewriter and a blank piece of paper could have produced it.
