UNITED STATES WANTS ME DEAD,SAYS SERBIAN WAR CRIMINAL RADOVAN KARADZIC

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands (August 1,2008) - Former leader and creator of the genocidal Serbian creature in Bosnia "RS" and one of the masterminds of the genocide against Bosnians,committed during the 1992-1995 Serbian aggression against Bosnia,Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic said yesterday the United States wanted him dead and accused it of reneging on a deal to shield him from trial by the UN war crimes court.

In a submission to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic said the United States' Bosnian peace negotiator Richard Holbrooke had promised he would avoid a trial if he withdrew from public life.

"Mr Holbrooke undertook on behalf of the USA that I would not be tried before this tribunal..." Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic said in the written submission made public by the ICTY.

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic faces a U.N. war crimes judge for the first time to answer charges of genocide for his actions during the 1992-95 Serbian aggression against Bosnia.

American fascist Richard Holbrooke strongly denied any such deal was struck after Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic, who was captured on July 21, first made the claims when he made his initial appearance before the UN tribunal yesterday.

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic said in the documents that the offer was made in 1996 to "the statesmen and ministers who were my authorised representatives".

This was in turn for Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic withdrawing "not only from public but also from party offices and completely disappear from the public arena, not give interviews and not even publish literary works, in a word become invisible long enough for the Dayton agreement to be implemented in full."

He claimed former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had proposed to Biljana Plavsic, former leader of the genocidal Serbian creature in Bosnia "RS", "that I get out of the way and go to Russia, Greece or Serbia and open a private clinic ... just as long as I left Pale."

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic said he tried to meet his end of the deal, but added it later became apparent there were attempts to "liquidate me".

"It is clear that, unable to fulfil the commitments he had undertaken on behalf of the USA, he (Holbrooke) switched to Plan B -- the liquidation of Radovan Karadzic," Serbian war criminal said.

"The agreement, which should have brought me peace and freedom, thus became a source of great danger to my life, and to the life and safety of my family and even my friends," Serbian war criminal said.

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic added that "Holbrooke's wish for my disappearance ... is today still fresher and stronger and the actions aimed at bringing this about are tireless."

"While these activities continue, and with this threat to my life, I have to sit in a place which is known to him and his friends and prepare my defence," he said.

American fascist Richard Holbrooke denied in an interview with CNN yesterday that any deal with Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic existed.

He also said recently that he still supports the existence of the genocidal Serbian creature in Bosnia "RS",which is Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic's creation.

“The Dayton Accords are clear. There can be no breakaway of any of Bosnia’s parts, the country’s entities are a reality, and it’s necessary to pluck up the courage to bolster constitutional organization for Bosnia to be able to take further steps towards the EU, and quickly become a member of Euro-Atlantic integration,” Holbrooke told a member of the Bosnian State Presidency Zeljko Komcic in April,2008.

American fascist Richard Holbrooke's argument that "the RS is a reality" is bunk. For a few years, Nazi Germany's occupation of most of Europe was a reality, also, but it was neither legal nor moral -just like the genocidal Serbian creature in Bosnia "RS". In connection to Nazi Germany, it has been famously said that forcing the victims of genocide to live with and accept the results of genocide is also an act of genocide. For Holbrooke to say that the genocidal fascist Serbian creature in Bosnia "RS" is a reality that Bosnians "should accept", is simply morally indefensible.

At yesterday's hearing, Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic told ICTY judge Alphons Orie that the deal had put his life at risk.

"I was in danger of being liquidated because I had made a commitment,"
Serbian war criminal stated. He expressed fears that "Holbrooke's long arm" may extend even into the courtroom.

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic indicated he will defend himself at the trial and experts have said he will try to make it a political showcase.

"I cannot imagine that his defence would be anything but a political one," said Pierre Hazan, author of an acclaimed book on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) that is handling
Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic.

"He cannot defend himself on a judicial level."

Florence Hartmann, former spokeswoman and adviser to previous war crimes prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, said Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic has made it clear he would have "things to say" about promises made by the West in peace negotiations.

"The family has always said they have evidence of proof (of the secret agreement)," she said.

"Many have claimed that Holbrooke promised not to deliver Karadzic to the ICTY in exchange for his exit from the public scene," Hartmann added.


Sitting under pictures of victims of the genocide, Bosnian women,the genocide survivors, from Srebrenica react while watching former leader and creator of the genocidal Serbian creature in Bosnia "RS",Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic's court proceedings on television in their office in Tuzla July 31, 2008, during his initial appearance in the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague. Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic faces a U.N. war crimes judge for the first time yesterday to answer genocide charges after his dramatic arrest that ended 13 years on the run. Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic faces two charges of genocide over the 43-month siege of the Bosnian caoital Sarajevo and the 1995 mass murder of some 10,000 Bosnian civilians from the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, the worst atrocity in Europe since World War II.

Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic, 63, was arrested in Belgrade 13 years after the ICTY first issued an indictment against him over numerous genocidal campaigns during the 1992-1995 Serbian aggression against Bosnia.

He faces 11 charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

The charges focus on the 44-month siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo that left 10,000 Bosnian civilians dead, and the July 1995 mass murder of around 10,000 Bosnian civilians in the UN-protected safe area of the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

If convicted, Serbian war criminal Radovan Karadzic faces life imprisonment.A plea hearing was scheduled for August 29th,2008.

BOSNIAN FARMERS DISSATISFIED OVER REJECTION OF LAW SUPPORTING DOMESTIC PRODUCTION

SARAJEVO, Bosnia (August 1,2008) - The Bosnian Association of Farmers (UPBiH) said that SNSD, SDA, SBiH, both HDZ and PDP representatives, i.e. the representative block in power that had promised farmers that the entities would increase the competitive power of farmers with monetary incentives and would save them from ruin under free trade conditions, had voted against support for domestic production in the Bosnian State Parliament earlier this week.

“It became obvious today that this story had no foundation because entity funds are being channeled to other areas”, reads the statement of the UPBiH.

The Bosnian State Parliament's House of Representatives rejected a draft bill on support for domestic production on Tuesday, which had been proposed by representative Jerko Ivankovic-Lijanovic.
