There are a couple of big porelbms with the article. In the first place, Tomas Valasek tries to paint the Kostunica government cooperation with the International War Crimes Tribunal (ICTY) in the Hague as a failure, but the facts don’t support his conclusion. As per usual, the blame is being placed on “security forces” and secret service suposily allowed to protect the most wanted criminals. Quote” All along, security forces loyal to the Milosevic regime were allowed to protect the most wanted criminals, like Karadzic and General Ratko Mladic, the wartime commander of the Bosnian Serb military.” and “Right after forming a government, Tadic removed the head of secret service, who had helped protect indicted war criminals.”That’s not to say it’s not happening. After all, the story sounds like one that is plausible to many people. It just would have been nice to have seen a little more concrete evidence, rather than offhand conjecture reported as fact.Karl HaudbourgSerbia’s Ambassadot to the world
Hello,

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia. I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
