Croatian generals convicted of war crimes, crimes against humanity
The International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia announced Friday that it had convicted two Croatian generals of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Ante Gotovina, who commanded Croatia's Split military district during the mid-1990s war that led to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
Mladen Markac, who headed the Interior Ministry's Special Police, received an 18-year prison term.
A third general, Ivan Cermak, was acquitted of all charges and ordered released as soon as possible.
Gotovina and Markac participated in an ethnic cleansing operation in Croatia's Krajina region between July and September 1995, the court found. Under the leadership of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, the generals and others attempted to clear the Krajina of ethnic Serbs and repopulate it with Croats, the court said.
Tudjman, who died in 1999, never was officially charged with any crime.
The trial in The Hague, Netherlands, started in March 2008 and involved 145 witnesses and 4,819 evidence exhibits, the court said.
The verdict was greeted by boos and hisses from crowds gathered in the central square of Croatia's capital, Zagreb, the BBC reported. The generals are regarded by some as national heroes.
did you , michael, know where the idea of creating a court for war crimes came from? who started it, let0s say' we did, the croats. and why? so that when the serbs were killing and raping and evicting us from our homes the world stood and watched. we wantedd to let the world know what had happened and who was responsible. And why' so that the same court can convict our general for ethnic cleansing? for killij gthem when they are the ones who attacked? you don't know what aou're taliking about. you say you lived here at the time, but so did the serbs and look at their side of the story. OK, but i see who I'm dealing with here, talking about killing for profit? goodbye and goodluck. SAPIENTI SAT. Google that too.
Don't get mad Pam. I'm only trying to open your eyes, but you prefer keep the wide shut. Sorry, your problem...
Because of Serbians like Michael, there will never be peace between Serbians and Croatians. The antagonizing is only increasing hatred amongst the two groups. The more Michael posts the more hate will be spread between the two groups.
I can see why Croatians were filled with hatred for the Serbians. Michael you may be a civilian, but I would not like you living in my house with your remarks and antagonizing. If your goal is to create problems between the two groups even more, you've succeeded.
If you want to know when genocid on Serbs started in Croatia read following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenovac_concentration_camp. It explains official Croatian politics: “A third must become Catholic, a third must leave the country, and a third must die!", which has been carried out in last 70 years.
At the end when Serbs have been completely terminated in Croatia somebody admitted the truth.
open my eyes to what? your capitlaism and corporatism? thanks, already knew that! to the fact that you lived in croatia and that that gives you the right to tell me what croatian homeland war/war of independence was and who was behind it? sorry, but i think you should check your facts, cause this just became boring
What i'm trying to open your eyes to you keep ignoring and opting for a discussion about your intervention for profit? How old are you even?
No, to open your eyes as your country has committed a genocide. Truth hurts, doesn't it ?
Serbians like Michael & Justin, there will never be peace between Serbians and Croatians. The antagonizing is only increasing hatred amongst the two groups. The more Michael posts the more hate will be spread between the two groups.

oh, i just saw your comment about us commitin genocide? did you not read what i wrote to you a couple of posts earlier? it wasn"t a genocide, and I'm tired of saying this, and know what else? you helped us! without your clinton and his full support we wouldn't be able to free ourselves from the agressor and declare independence. Now, what is it according to you? a genocide or an action with a higher purpose, i.e. profit, for your americans?
I'm done talking to uneducated americnas about things they have no capacity of understanding

Od mog srca draga i ljubavi moje
ima jača ljubav, ljubav zemlje moje
Sjećaš li se draga, viđali su kišu
za ljubav se gine, zbog Hrvatske diše.
Ljutu travu, na ljutu ranu
dat ću draga ja i život za nju
Hej, ljutu travu, na ljutu ranu
Nemoj nikad zaboravit na nju.
Onu istu našu pušku mi pripremi
na tavan je stavi, za mene je spremi
Bit će ona opet i sinu po mjeri
kao što je bila mom djedu i meni.
Your democracy? You think you live in a democracy? You think you're free? Think again
No one is 100% free. But at least I know I can peacefully live in my house without being cleansed because of my race, gender or ethnicity. Serbs in Croatia, on the other side, live in a constant fear one daywill somebody come to ther ihouse, sing a song as per above and got killed...
You think you can llive free? what about our fellow blacks? what about all the victims of your rendition and your patriot act? weren't they ethnically clenased?
Cover our dirt? are you insane? you ignorant, ignorant american

Serbian Michael,
Could you live in this house? https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4_7o6Vf9CNU#at=82
Is this something you want? Serbians aggressors created destruction on Croatian soil. Croatians were not given the liberty to escape or "leave". If this event did not take place, Croatians and Serbians may have been friends.
Thanks for your post!
Michael ... ur sooo funny 🙂 i like you man ... Pam pls dont argue with him ... can't you see how ignorant is he 🙂
yes, you would know how the serbs in croatia live
No, I don't know but they do, if any still alive
Were there any Croatians living in Serbia?
It would be interesting to know the ratio of Croatians in Serbia. Were Croatians even allowed to live in that country?
