BELGRADE (Reuters) - More than 30 war crimes suspects from the former Yugoslavia in custody in The Hague on Tuesday signed a tribute to Slobodan Milosevic, widely seen as the architect of the wars that ravaged the region in the 1990s.
According to Serb custom, friends and relatives of the deceased publish newspaper advertisements with brief eulogies and a picture.
The Milosevic ad in several Belgrade dailies was signed by ethnic Serb indictees from Serbia and Bosnia, but also by Macedonian Ljube Boskovski and Croat General Ante Gotovina, who crushed a Milosevic-backed Serb rebellion in Croatia.
They bade "a last farewell to our fellow fighter in The Hague" and expressed "sincere condolences to his family".
No Bosnian Muslim or Kosovo Albanian indictees signed the tribute. The former foes are at various stages of prosecution by the United Nations war crimes court, set up to investigate atrocities committed in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo.
General Ante Gotovina is Croate accused for genocide over Serbs in Croatia, and Milosevic was accused on genocide over Croates. Ljube Boskoski was macedonian minister accused of ordering liqidation of captured muslim terrorists.
Well... The guy on the left side is concidered by one nation as a hero, and the guy on the right side is concidered by no nation as a hero. Muslims not included
Not quite.
Macedonian officials have admitted that seven alleged Pakistani militants killed in March 2002 were in fact illegal immigrants shot in cold blood to "impress" the international community. source
Boskovski is in the Hague to answer for his participation in the assault on the village of Ljuboten. If he ever makes it back to Macedonia, he can answer for the Rastanski Lozja murders.
After life on Balkans, devil will charge admitance in hell due to large interest of balkanians for longer vacation.
