AMSTERDAM (AP) — The wartime diaries of the top Bosnian Serb general have revealed secret deals with ethnic Croats to divide Bosnia and expel the Muslim population in the early 1990s.
Excerpts of Gen. Ratko Mladic’s notebooks, seized in a raid on his wife’s Belgrade home in February, have been quoted in a prosecution motion to reopen the trial of six Bosnian Croat leaders at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
The prosecution says the 3,500 handwritten pages support their contention of a Serb-Croat conspiracy to drive out Muslims from parts of Bosnia to create a "Greater Croatia."
Mladic, who is charged with genocide, has been a fugitive since 1995. The papers published Friday are notes Mladic took during the 1991-95 Bosnian war.
