Hrtkovci

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.

Ultranationalist politician and war criminal Vojislav Seselj and members of his Serbian Radical Party on Wednesday evening physically forced anti-war activists out of a building in Belgrade's Stari Grad municipality where Seselj was promoting his new book denying that the Srebrenica massacres were genocide.

The UN court in The Hague ruled that Serbian Radical Party leader Seselj cannot file an appeal against a second-instance verdict convicting him of the persecution of Croats in the Serbian village of Hrtkovci in 1992.

Seselj bought the property "from A.P., who until 1991 lived with her family in Vukovar (Croatia)," Croatian daily Vecernji List writes on Thursday.

The woman said that the house was built by her parents after the family left Croatia, and that it had been on the market since 2001, when her father died - but attracted no interest.

Police prevented Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj from holding a rally in the village of Hrtkovci, where he made nationalist speeches in 1992 that got him convicted of war crimes.

The Serbian Radical Party said it has appealed the ban on its planned rally in the village of Hrtkovci, where its leader Vojislav Seselj made nationalist speeches in 1992, for which he was convicted of war crimes.

The Serb Radical Party (SRS), an opposition party led by Vojislav Seselj, made this announcement on Wednesday, adding that there was now no legally valid reason to ban the rally in this northwestern village, planned to take place for two hours in front of the local Culture Center.

The interior ministry banned a rally that Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj planned in the village of Hrtkovci, where he made nationalist speeches in 1992 that got him convicted of war crimes.
