Serbia determined to see the Hague story through
Civil society urges Serbia to continue along its chosen path towards European democracy.
Radovan Karadžic, until recently one of the three remaining Hague fugitives, together with general Ratko Mladic and Goran Hadžic, was extradited to the International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia and has already appeared in front of the Chamber to listen to the charges.
NGO Civic Initiatives greeted the extradition and sees it as clear proof of the determination of the state to bring the cooperation with ICTY to a satisfactory conclusion.
“We expect the authorities to present same determination and ship the two remaining fugitives to the Hague, with due respect of legal obligations, so that Serbia can continue on its path towards the EU unimpaired”, said the organization.
Civi Initiatives adds that, special attention should be paid to the young generations to present them with clear perspectives to avoid future abuses for daily political purposes.
In his first appearance in the Hague, Karadžic informed the Court that he intends to present his own defence and demanded enough time to read the new, amended charges announced by the Prosecution.
