Vojislav Šešelj stated before the Hague Tribunal that Željko Ražnatović, aka Arkan, had “shot 20 Muslim civilians“ in April 1992 in Zvornik.During the cross-examination of the prosecution’s protected witness, Šešelj suggested that members of Ražnatović’s paramilitary unit had also committed other crimes that he himself has accused of by the Hague Tribunal.Ražnatović, a gangster and paramilitary leader, was shot and killed in Belgrade ten years ago. “Did you know that Arkan led a group which shot 20 Muslim civilians in front of their wives and children in Zvornik in April 1992?,“ the president of the Serb Radical Party (SRS) asked the witness, according to a Radio Free Europe report. Šešelj said that a woman whose husband and two sons were killed had testified about the crime earlier in the trial. The trial will be continued next week and it is expected that the prosecution will call their last witness.
Šešelj is accused of the crimes against non-Serbs in Croatia, Vojvodina and Bosnia-Herzegovina between 1991 and 1993. Ražnatović, a gangster and collaborator of the former Yugoslavia secret services (RDB), was shot and killed in Belgrade ten years ago.
