What do we want with Tolimir?

What do we want with Tolimir?

pescanik_250x207Anyone who has ever even glanced inside the Hague tribunal courtroom knows that the parties are obliged to stick to the subject and answer the court’s questions, and not speak about whatever they want. Serbian officials don’t seem to get this. Ministers Selakovic, Vulin, and Ljajic issued harsh statements as a reaction to the decision of Dutch judge Alphons Orie to not allow the representative of the government of Serbia, Sasa Obradovic, to speak off topic. Prime minister Aleksandar Vucic himself added to this mini anti-Hague campaign. Even if we could let such ignorance on the rules of the Hague tribunal slide from the ministers, the prime minister has no excuse, given the fact that he was one of the most important members of Vojislav Seselj’s legal team and followed his trial closely, at least until they parted their political ways. He should know what’s allowed in the courtroom and what’s not.
