Vojislav Šešelj

It seems like a historical paradox, but after the end of the communist system, the far right made a strong showing in the Balkans.

The Serbian Orthodox Church (SOC) awarded the leader of the extremist Serbian Radical Party (SRP), Vojislav Seselj, who in 2018 was sentenced to ten years in prison by the Hague Tribunal for inciting the persecution, deportation and forced displacement of Croats in the village of Hrtkovci in Vojvodina in 1992.

Franjo Baricevic obtained more valuable property in Croatia than he had in Serbia, contrary to his case against the state of Serbia and Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj, a defence witness told Belgrade Higher Court on Friday.

Franjo Baricevic was born in 1953 in the small village of Hrtkovci, near the town of Ruma in Serbia's northern Vojvodina region, where his family had lived for several generations.

Judge Liu Daqun of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in The Hague issued a ruling on Friday calling on the president of the court to "notify the [UN] Security Council of Serbia's failure to comply with its obligations" for failing to arrest wanted Serbian Radical Party politicians Petar Jojic and Vjerica Radeta.

Serbia should arrest wanted Serbian Radical Party politicians Petar Jojic and Vjerica Radeta as soon as possible and transfer them to The Hague to face charges, judge Liu Daqun of the International Residual Mechanism Criminal Tribunals said in a ruling on Tuesday.

He has also said that he favours early release from prison for Milorad 'Legija' Ulemek and Zvezdan Jovanovic, who are serving sentences for the assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in 2003. He said that they should be freed because "they are heroes" who fought on behalf of Serbs.

At one point, Obradovic and the Minister of Health, Zlatibor Loncar, who was coming to the parliamentary session, were pushed.

According to him, some of the events that preceded the assassination were not taken seriously enough.
Danilovic told daily "Kurir" that even 17 years after Djindjic's murder, he hadn't had full knowledge of all the details related to the crime.
