Prosecutors mounting the war crimes case against former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic this week set about cross-examining the latest witness to testify in his defence, radical Serb nationalist Vojislav Seselj… When it came to the cross-examination, prosecutor Geoffrey Nice had no shortage of topics to raise [...]
Building on this approach, he asked Seselj to confirm the titles of a number of his books, as advertised on the website of his Serbian Radical Party, SRS. These included “In the Jaws of the Whore Carla Del Ponte” – a reference to the Hague tribunal’s chief prosecutor – and another which referred to court president Theodor Meron as a “genocidal Israeli diplomat”.
The witness also gleefully agreed to read out choice excerpts from a submission he had previously filed with the tribunal registry. In some of the passages, he addressed court staff with “fuck you all”, accused them of hampering his defence and warned that they would eventually “have to eat the shit [they] have excreted”.
