The prosecution is interested in his testimony due to suspicion
that money from his "pyramid" savings banks was to used to finance
the purchase of arms for rebel Croatian Serbs in 1991.
Dafina Milanovic, owner of the failed Dafiment-bank, is suspected
of the same crime. Her extradition is currently being tackled by the
German judiciary.
"I refused to testify and said that I will either remember all world
officials, especially American or English ones, or nobody. They
didn't like that so I'm no longer a witness but a suspect. I will
certainly go to The Hague but I won't seek government guarantees,"
Vasiljevic told B92 television.
