Controversial promotion shows Serbia still has a long way to go

Robert Hardh’s Blog

The Executive Director of Civil Rights Defenders about Human Rights

At the end of last year, Serbian President Boris Tadic announced he would be making Lieutenant General Ljubisa Dikovic Chief of Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces. The promotion is seen as controversial as Dikovic was a Commander when numerous war crimes were committed in Kosovo in 1999. The Serbian government stands by the decision to promote Dikovic and the debate over the controversy has been redirected to a discussion involving the prestigious organisation, the Humanitarian Law Centre (HLC) and its uncompromising director, Natasa Kandic.


Call for Investigation into Whether or Not the Assault Against Limani Was Ethnically Motivated

February 26th, 2012 – Human rights organization are calling on the police and the office of the prosecutor to investigate whether or not the assault against Dželim Ljimani/ Xhelim Limani, which happened on February 23rd on the 43 bus line in Belgrade, was incited by prejudice based on racial and ethnic grounds.

Natasa Kandic: Letter to Sutanovac

Minister Sutanovac,

In your interview with ‘Pescanik’, published on-line on February 17, 2012 (www.pescanik.net), you seem very confident when claiming, among other things, that ‘the false Ljubisa Dikovic File’ was written by a man who had lied when saying that there existed a transcript of a conversation between a pilot and his base at Aviano, Italy, during the bombing of the Serbian National Radio and Television (RTS) Building. In the interview, you also claim that in an article published on February 11, 2012 in the daily newspaper Danas, I admitted that General Dikovic was not the commander of the 16th Border Battalions “which killed Muslims,” and that you personally knew that the courts would “prove” all HLC’s claims in this matter to be untrue. In addition, in the interview you say that Dikovic’s name has been “stained,” and by implication lay the responsibility for that at the door of the HLC and you claim that  “contrary to those who focus only on Serbian crimes,” you express sympathy for the victims on all sides.
