President Slobodan Milosevic before the UN war crimes tribunal at
The Hague resumed on Monday after an eight-day break due to his
exhaustion. #L#
The trial was adjourned after Milosevic complained of exhaustion to
prison guards. The trial had been adjourned in the past as well. In
July doctors established increased cardiovascular risk for the
defendant's health and ruled a four-day break in the proceedings
every two weeks.
Today the prosecution continued interrogating former counter-
intelligence (KOS) member Mustafa Candic, who before the trial was
adjourned described how Croatian and Bosnian Serbs were armed in
the early 1990s.
Candic, the 12th witness for the prosecution in the part of the
trial referring to crimes committed in Croatia, said today that
KOS, the former Yugoslav army's counter-intelligence service,
organised the mining of Jewish cemeteries in Zagreb as part of
Operation Labrador.
"The goal was to present Croatian authorities as pro-fascist and to
create animosity among the Jews," said Candic.
He explained that KOS' operations in Croatia were led by Slobodan
Rakocevic from Zemun. Operation Labrador in Zagreb was led by KOS
commanders Ivan Sabolovic and Cedo Knezevic.
Candic worked in KOS' centre in Zemun.
Milosevic is charged with war crimes committed in Croatia and
genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
