Karić sends judgments to colleague Šapić in Belgrade to inform him about war crimes

SARAJevo, (Patria) - The Mayor of Sarajevo, Benjamina Karić, spoke out after her colleague from Belgrade announced whether he would remove the mural of war criminal Ratko Mladić. Her message is transmitted in full.

I am surprised by the statement of the new Mayor of Belgrade, Aleksandar Šapić, who said he is unaware of the war crimes of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić.

The Mayor of Belgrade and a doctor of science, as Mayor Šapić presents himself, should be familiar with the basics of international criminal law and the judgments of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

He should know that the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals handed down a second-instance judgment confirming the life sentence for Ratko Mladić, former general of the Army of Republika Srpska, for genocide in Srebrenica, persecution of Bosniaks and Croats, terrorizing the citizens of Sarajevo, and taking UN personnel hostage.

Considering the great amount of ignorance and lack of information, the City Administration of Sarajevo will officially deliver the court judgments that need to be read, because as he himself said, he was not in BiH during that time, so he does not know what happened. But there are institutions that are and know.

The Mayor can also get more information at the Information Center on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, located in the City Hall.
