Serbia's ultranationalist Seselj does not intend to go to the ICTY

Vojislav Seselj really does not intend to return behind bars. Yet the leader of the Serbian ultranationalists is convened by the International Criminal Tribunal in charge of the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). He must answer for his recent provocations against international justice and the West.

Vojislav Seselj was tried for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, but no verdict was pronounced. The man is seriously ill, he was released last November and was able to return to Belgrade.

Today he turns his back on the convening of the court in The Hague. And the Serbian government did not intend to deliver.

The Serbian Minister of Labour and Social Issues, Aleksandar Vulin, the decision of the ICTY was "an attempt to destabilize following the recent speech that the Prime Minister spoke about the NATO aggression."

Last week, Vojislav Seselj participated in an event marking the 16th anniversary of the start of air strikes by NATO against Serbia during the Kosovo crisis. He has burned the flags of NATO, the European Union, the United States and Kosovo.
