Jovan Divjak, a Serb general who defended Sarajevo siege of the ultranationalist 1992-1995, was arrested yesterday evening shortly after 21.00, in Vienna. The retired general of the Bosnian army, the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by Serbia, was arrested in Belgrade as it was considered to be responsible for the acts of Dobrovoljacka ulica street in Sarajevo where May 3, 1992, in violent clashes a column of Yugoslav Army (JNA), which was retreating and citizens' groups and members of the fledgling Bosnian army, many casualties were recorded. The Serbian Justice considers Divjak and 17 other people responsible for these facts. One of them, the former Bosnian president Ejup Ganic, was arrested in London on 1 March 2010 but the British justice after he refused the extradition of REQUEST FOR Belgrade since the charges against Ganic were considered by Judge Timothy Workman "politically motivated".
the journalist to do is write down the facts and present them. Curling up on the site of the always authoritative "Observatory on the Balkans" the reactions of readers to the article by Andrea Rossini, balanced and competent colleague, there is a little veiled bitterness dictated by the fact that today, fifteen years after the end of the war, both Italians and Bosnians of all national allegiances and the Serbs seem to be unable to view the tragedy of the Bosnian war and Balkan except through the distorting lens of ideology and preconceived cheering from the stadium. Who are good reactions like that? Only three of the nationalists national components, some of whom have their hands stained with the blood of war and war is solely and exclusively to its power today. And speaking of Muslims and Serbs that of Catholics, because the observer has to talk about the facts, not the personal inclinations.
one day we manage to avoid the stadium cheering reread the Balkan conflict and its causes (and its consequences?). He's certainly the politicians, the media and academics try to steer the debate in a critical way, without falling into the curve by football supporters (many criminals were recruited there, before and during the war?). The problem is that today, at least in Italy, with journalists and politicians that we find ourselves is really hard ... Divjak
The point is not so much whether innocent or guilty, because they must help to establish this law and common sense, which should go hand in hand. The major point is: the powers of the Justice of Serbia, in the case, or is Bosnian?
Vienna today is to decide this, and establish, as a result, the fate of a man than for a substantial minority of Bosnia is a traitor and an even larger majority is a hero. At the end of diplomacy is likely to decide, as it was in diplomacy today to delay the delivery of thirteen to fifteen years that Karadzic and Mladic to justice internationally. We remain engaged viewers and fans to the window to see what will decide what justice Vienna and Bosnia and Serbia on the one hand the other will be spent for and against the man and his extradition.
The point is, at this point we will be able to assist all of us to do - hopefully - of justice, accepting the sometimes questionable decisions, or everything will be reduced to a sterile and drab stadium cheering, as so often when it comes to Balkan questions? I'm afraid they will end up once again in this second way, but it certainly depends on each one of us. Even so, regardless of how you think politically, others should be the values \u200b\u200bto prevail in times of peace, above and beyond the resonant tones that remind one so instead the propaganda war.
Good luck to justice and good luck to the innocent and those who are called to enforce the law, then. Who knows and can do so without pressure and without emotion other than those that must animate an independent lawyer and solid. Hoping that they exist in Austria. And so in Bosnia, in Serbia and in any other part of the world.
