Dr. Vesna Bosanac was traded in a prisoner exchange after the fall of Vukovar. Dr. Bosanac was accused of the murder of numerous Serbian patients under her care, whose blood was deliberately drained and given to wounded HV Croatian soldiers. Upon their death, the vital organs of these Serbian patients were removed and sold on the black market in Germany. Eyewitnesses have come forward to testify to these facts.
Ironically, not only has Dr. Bosanac not been charged with war crimes, she is one of the tribunal's chief witnesses!
Let's tell the rest of the story of what happened in Vukovar.
In late 1991, the Yugoslav Army captured the city of Vukovar from Croatian forces who had been systematically "ethnically cleansing," the Serb minority in the city. ("ethnically cleanse," contrary to the belief that it was coined during the Bosnia conflict, was actually coined in WWII when Croats and Muslims were exterminating their Serbian, Jewish and Gypsy citizens.
A Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy article in London in December 1992 said "At least 1,000 Serbs, mostly women, old people and children, were shot, knifed, axed or bludgeoned to death systematically one-by-one, in two main centres . . .
One visiting Croat female journalist during the Vukovar fighting, unfamiliar with firearms asked one of the young gunmen to cock a pistol for her so that she could feel what it was like to kill a Serb. She shot, indiscriminately, an old Serb woman who was standing under Croat guard."
In November 1991, the Toronto Star said that "a photographer reported seeing black plastic bags containing pieces of the bodies of children about 5, 6, or 7 years old." When Serb forces broke through and discovered the grisly scenes, Croatian soldiers, in an attempt to escape justice, fled to the protection of the Vukovar hospital and became patients.
Points to be made.
1. These were not "civilian" patients."
2. These butchers were Croatian soldiers who were so cowardly, they had to run to the protection of the Vukovar Hospital after massacring over 1,000 Serbian men women and children.
3. They were protected by "I Like Eichmann" butcher Dr. Vesna Bosanac.
They say that "Justice is Blind." In the case of The Hague, and its accusers, Justice is not only blind, but she is deaf and dumb.
4] CRIMINAL BECOMES WITNESS FOR HAGUE TRIBUNAL
Novi Sad, March 27 (Tanjug) - In a piece entitled Criminal Becomes Witness the Novi Sad daily Dnevnik assessed that the Hague Tribunal suffered a moral setback when it called Dr Vesna Bosanac, notorious Director of Vukovar Hospital in the fall of 1991, to be a witness for the prosecution in the trial of three former Yugoslav Army (JNA) officers. Instead of being prosecuted by the International War Crimes Tribunal to account for the crimes committed against Serbs in Vukovar, Dr Bosanac arrived in the Hague as a witness, the daily said Tuesday. Dr Bosanac became the Director of Vukovar Hospital in July 1991, just before the beginning of Croatia's war of secession from former Yugoslavia. The euphoria of Croatian nationalism was at its highest then, and Dr Vesna Bosanac was appointed Hospital Director by the nationalist Croatian Democratic Community in Zagreb and the former director, Serb Rade Popovic, was dismissed without any explanation.
The crimes committed by Dr Bosanac against Serb civilians and JNA troops who at the time were being treated in Vukovar Hospital are grave and monstrous, the daily said. Witnesses who managed to escape the hospital run by Dr Vesna Bosanac, speak today about her. She was not alone, witnesses say. She had the support of Dr.Juraj Njavro, a certain Dr. Zujovic from Zagreb, Dr. Kratofil from Osijek and paramedic Marko Mandic. The Vukovar Hospital served as a warehouse for ammunition so that at one time there were 300 guns in the x-ray room.
Dr Bosanac and her team also helped Tudjman's troops kill Serbs outside the hospital. One of the witnesses said he saw Tudjman's troops enter the hospital with snipers, climb the roof, and shoot at Serbs and JNA troops.
When it was finally clear that Tudjman's guard would be defeated in Vukovar, around two hundred members of Croatia's Interior Ministry and of the National Guard, criminals from Vukovar, put on white hospital coats and tried to get out of the city as 'hospital staff'. The organizer of the evacuation was Dr Bosanac and Dr Njavro, Dnevnik said.

Albright urges Bosnian refugee return
The United States Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, has urged the authorities in Bosnia-Hercegovina to speed up the return of war refugees to their homes, in line with the Dayton peace accords.
Speaking in the capital, Sarajevo on the second day of her visit to Bosnio, Mrs Albright expressed concern over the situation of refugees returning to their homes, and called for more Serbs and Croats to resettle in the city.
In an indirect reference to German policies on Bosnian refugees, she criticised countries that forced refugees to return to places where there was no security, no housing and no jobs.
The German Foreign Minister, Klaus Kinkel, strongly defended his country's decision to send thousands of refugees home, saying they were needed to rebuild Bosnia.
The US secretary of state accused Bosnian politicians of not doing enough to promote ethnic reconciliation and she called for more progress on implementing the Dayton peace agreement.
Madeleine Albright urged Serb voters to back candidates who support the Bosnian peace process at next month's general elections.
She was speaking on a visit to the town of Bijeljina after meeting the Bosnian Serb Republic President, Biljana Plavsic.
Ms Albright made it clear that America was willing to help only those in Bosnia who co-operate in implementing the Dayton peace agreement, which ended more than three years of warfare. She also signalled clear support for Ms Plavsic - who replaced the hard-line nationalist Radovan Karadzic - and other moderates.
Ms Albright urged the Croatian President, Franjo Tudjman, to improve the rights of the ethnic Serb minority in Croatia and do more to support the peace process in the former Yugoslavia.
American officials said she told Croatia that its inclusion in international groupings like Nato's partnership for peace depended on it guaranteeing equal rights to the Serb minority in Eastern Slavonia and encouraging the return of refugees.
