BELGRADE (Sputnik) — The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ruled Thursday that former Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia and president of the far-right Serbian Radical Party Vojislav Seselj was not guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in the Balkans in 1991-1993.
“Generally speaking, the violent acts against the civilians in Hrtkovci such as they have been described, are not comparable in terms of their scale and modus operandi to widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population,” the judge said.
Presiding judge Jean-Claude Antonetti concluded the trial by saying that Seselj was acquitted on all the nine counts and was now “a free man.”
