Serb Suspect in War Seeks U.N. Inquiry
- Share via
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — In a show of bravado, indicted wartime leader Radovan Karadzic invited U.N. lawyers to Bosnian Serb territory on Wednesday to investigate him before he decides whether to agree to stand trial, his aide said.
Momcilo Krajisnik, the Serbian member of Bosnia’s three-man presidency, relayed the offer to U.N. human rights envoy Elisabeth Rehn during a meeting in Pale, Karadzic’s stronghold.
Karadzic proposed that Rehn interview him and his wartime military commander, Gen. Ratko Mladic, and mediate between the U.N. war crimes tribunal, on the one hand, and the two indicted suspects on the other, Krajisnik said.
