Einer der Tcoons ist Karic**, welche 500.000 € für den Schutz von Ratko Mladic und anderen Kriegs Verbrechern bezahlt und im Gegenzug von der Regierung lukrative Verträge erhält.
Die Serbische Regierung finanziert damit wie bewiesen, den Schutz der bekanntesten Kriegs Verbrecher.
Eine klare Aussage des Serbischen Ex-Justiz Ministers Tcoons in einem aktuellen Spiegel Interview.

Massengrab bei Srebrenica mit Opfern serbischer Kriegsverbrechen
Vladan Batic, 56, ehemaliger serbischer Justizminister, über die parteiische Rechtsprechung in seinem Land
SPIEGEL: Die serbische Justiz hat überraschend die internationalen Haftbefehle gegen Milosevics Ehefrau Mira und Sohn Marko aufgehoben. Regiert Slobodan Milosevic erneut das Land, diesmal vom Haager Kriegsverbrecher-Tribunal aus?
Batic: Jedem in Serbien ist klar, dass die Milosevic-Ära zurückgekehrt ist. Fast alle wichtigen Funktionen im Land werden erneut von seinen Kadern übernommen. Im Fall von Milosevics Ehefrau gab der Oberste Staatsanwalt dem ihm untergebenen Staatsanwalt eine "verpflichtende Anweisung" zur Aufhebung des Haftbefehls. Das ist einmalig in unserer Justizgeschichte. Hintergrund ist ein Deal zwischen Milosevic und Premier Vojislav Kostunica. Denn die Regierung ist auf die parlamentarische Unterstützung seiner Sozialisten angewiesen.
SPIEGEL: Sohn Marko soll den Zigarettenschmuggel kontrolliert haben. Angeklagt war er, weil er einen Oppositionellen mit einer Kettensäge bedroht haben soll. Doch hat dieser Kläger jetzt seine Aussage zurückgezogen.
Batic: Was sollte der Mann denn machen? Seine Mutter schrieb mir einen erschütternden Brief: Markos Freunde hatten die Familie Tag und Nacht bedroht.
SPIEGEL: Wie ernst kann man die Beteuerungen nehmen, die beiden meistgesuchten Kriegsverbrecher - General Ratko Mladic und Radovan Karadzic - zu verhaften?
Batic: Mladic ist sehr oft in Serbien, meist in Belgrad. Er wird - wie auch andere Kriegsverbrecher - weiter von Armee, Kirche und Kostunica in Schutz genommen. Und zwar nicht nur moralisch. Alle wegen Kriegsverbrechen Gesuchten, die sich in Den Haag gestellt haben, erhielten als Entschädigung bis zu 500.000 Euro. Finanziert wird dies von vier Wirtschaftsmagnaten, die im Gegenzug von der Regierung lukrative Aufträge erhalten.
SPIEGEL: Auch die Regierung von Zoran Djindjic, der Sie angehörten, wusste von Mladics Aufenthalten in Belgrad. Warum haben Sie ihn nicht verhaften lassen?
Batic: Er hatte den Schutz der Armee, und diese unterstand nicht der Regierung. Die Polizei konnte keinen Krieg gegen die Armee beginnen.
SPIEGEL: Der Prozess gegen Djindjics Attentäter droht zur Farce zu verkommen. Unlängst wurde der Staatsanwalt ausgewechselt.
Batic: Er hatte sich von den Versuchen der Regierung, die Beweislage zu verwässern, nicht irritieren lassen. Einige Leute im Kabinett sind direkt in den Mord an Djindjic verwickelt. Deshalb versuchen sie das.
SPIEGEL: Warum wird in der Anklage die Frage nach den Hintermännern des Attentats völlig ausgeklammert?
Batic: Die sind doch jedem bekannt. Es waren Parteien, die unter Djindjic keine politische Perspektive hatten, eine Gruppe Krimineller sowie jene, die in Haag einsitzen. Die Organisation des Komplotts lag in den Händen des staatlichen und des militärischen Geheimdienstes. Den Segen gab der Patriarch - nach dem Motto: Djindjic war ein Verräter, und es ist keine Sünde, einen Verräter umzubringen.

SERBIA GOES BACK TO THE PAST
"The Milosevic Era Has Returned."
In an interview with SPIEGEL, Vldan Batic, 56, the former Serbian Justice Minister, talks about how biased the justice system still is in his troubled nation and how the shadow of former President Slobodan Milosevic continues to hover.
Even while on trial for war crimes, Milosevic may still be pulling the strings in Serbia.

Even while on trial for war crimes, Milosevic may still be pulling the strings in Serbia.
Slobodan Milosevic, first became president of Yugoslavia in 1989, but many say his influence is still felt. Currently, he is in the Netherlands, facing charges of war crimes at The Hague. In his first six years in power, Milosevic ignited conflicts in Croatia (1991) and Bosnia (1992) during which thousands of civilians died. In 1997, he earned international disdain when he brutally repressed Kosovo's ethnic Albanian residents. In 2000, he relinquished the presidency to Vojislav Kostunia, but only under popular pressure.
SPIEGEL: In a surprising move, a Serbian court revoked international arrest warrants for former president Slobodan Milosevic's wife Mira Markovic and his son Marko. Already the Serbian people were irate that charges against Marko for allegedly harassing his father's political opponents were dropped and that financial corruption charges against Mira Markovic were dismissed. Some say the dropping of the charges was an inside deal. Is Milosovic once again ruling the nation, this time from his cell at The Hague war crimes court?
Batic: For everyone who lives in Serbia, one thing is clear: The Milosevic era has returned. Almost all of the most important posts in the nation are once again filled with Milosevic's cronies. In Milosevic's wife's case, the chief prosecutor issued "an obligatory order" to his deputy to drop the arrest warrants. Such an order is a first in our judicial history. Behind it all was a deal between Milosevic and Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica. Kostunica remains in power thanks to the votes of the Socialist parliamentarians, whose party Milosevic once led.
SPIEGEL: Marko allegedly controlled illicit cigarette smuggling. He was arrested after he allegedly threatened an opposition member with a chainsaw. Now, the defendant has taken back the charges.
Batic: What else can the man do? His mother wrote me a letter in which her terror was clear: Marko's friend threatened him and his family day and night.
SPIEGEL: How seriously can we take the promises to track down and arrest the two most searched-for war criminals, General Ratko Mladic and Radovan Kadadzic?
Batic: Mladic is often in Serbia, mostly in Belgrade. He -- just like other war criminals -- is still being protected by the army, the church and Kostunica. And I don't just mean morally. All of those who have given themselves up as war criminals to the Hague have received up to €500,000 compensation. It's being financed by four business magnates who then are compensated by the Serbian government with lucrative deals.
SPIEGEL: The government of the assassinated Prime Minister, Zoran Djindjic which you belonged to, also knew about Mladic's trips to Belgrade. Why didn't you arrest him?

Batic: He had the support of the army, not the government. The police could not initiate a war against the army.
SPIEGEL: Djindjic was killed in 2003 and the case against his alleged assassin is threatening to become a farce. Not long ago, the state prosecutor was replaced.
Batic That's because he would not be influenced by the government's attempts to water down the evidence. A few people holding cabinet posts today were directly involved in the killing. That's why the government is waffling on the case.
SPIEGEL: The case has focused completely on one suspect and legitimate questions about his accomplices have been totally ignored. Why?
Batic: The reasons are well known. They were people who had no political perspective under Djindjic -- a group of criminals like the ones sitting in The Hague. The plot was organized by the state and military secret service. The patriarch blessed the plot using the logic that Djindjic was a traitor and it's no sin to murder a traitor.

Serbia's Batic Accuses Kostunica of Protecting Alleged War Criminals
23/08/2005
BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro -- Former Serbian Justice Minister Vladan Batic has accused Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, the army, and the Orthodox Church of protecting Ratko Mladic and other alleged war criminals. In an interview published Monday (22 August), Batic said indictees who surrendered to the UN tribunal had received up to 500,000 euros each from four Serbian tycoons. He said the government in Belgrade then provided compensation to the businessmen in the form of lucrative contracts.
In other news Monday, current Serbian Justice Minister Zoran Stojkovic visited the UN tribunal in The Hague and said nothing blocks the extradition of Milan Lukic from Argentina to the tribunal. Although Serbia also demanded Lukic's transfer to Belgrade, Stojkovic noted that tribunal jurisdiction supersedes that of Serbia's judiciary. Lukic, charged with the murder of as many as 150 non-Serbs during the 1992-1995 Bosnian conflict, was arrested in Argentina earlier this month on an international arrest warrant.
