Well said. I have to repeat this is a politically motivated and driven court. It is not about truth or justice, it is about equalizing guilt to appease the Serbs and to clear the conscious of the West for their inaction and betrayal of democratic values. Hopefully the defense made strong arguements in rebuttal to the prosecution’s submission. Unfortunately I am not optimistic because for the Appeal Court to overturn or even throw out this case which it should do just based on evidence alone it would risk tarnishing and bringing into disrepute the entire ICTY and expose for all to see its Macavellian politics. This won’t happen because judges, lawyers, administrators and politicians careers, reputations and livelihoods are on the line; in fact it brings into question the legitimacy of international criminal courts and there are just too many people who are in love with the idea of internationalizational of criminal justice that supersedes sovereign justice systems. I fear that in additional to being heroes our generals will be martyrs sacrificed by Croatia to join the EU. Sorry for the negativity but real politic is harsh. I pray this doesn’t happen.

What I have been saying all along sunman but with gods will someone will open their eyes and see that justice is served and our generals are set free. I can already tell you that for many the ITCY has lost a lot of faith in people who believe in justice as they see how much politics is involved in the court. Only setting the generals free can restore the integrity to the ITCY.
Hello,
I’m Ina
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.
