The leader of the SRS party spoke on Monday after it was announced that the Hague Appeals Chamber had ordered the Trial Chamber to urgently revoke its decision to grant him temporary release, and then to order him to return to the Hague Tribunal's detention unit.
"Let's see how Aleksandar Vucic and Tomislav Nikolic will arrest me now," the war crimes indictee told the daily Vecernje Novosti, adding that he was currently as the SRS headquarters, "engaged in party business."
He announced that he would travel to the town of Bor in eastern Serbia in the afternoon, where he will address a panel organized by the Serb Radicals (SRS).
"Let the police come. They are the ones who do arrests. If the Gendarmerie shows up, they beat people up, I must watch my back. It won't be an easy task arresting me," Seselj added.
He also claims that the state will have to "honor the time procedure regarding extradition" and that he will in this period try to counter the Hague's demand "since all my rights are threatened in Holland."

The decision to release and then call for the re-arrest of Serbian political figure Vojislav Seselj by The Hague Tribunal is an attempt to undermine and destabilize Serbia, according to Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic...
ReplyDeleteWriting in the Serbian newspaper 'Politika', Vucic was heavily critical of the UN-backed International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), saying the whole affair was being used as an attempt to "shake up" and undermine the current Serbian government.
"Someone has started using Seselj as a bogeyman," he wrote, in reference to suggestions the radical party leader was intentionally released by officials who had planned to re-arrest him to test Serbia's international allegiances.
The Prime Minister hinted that the court's western backers were punishing Serbia over the country's refusal to condemn traditional ally Russia over the Ukraine crisis.
"When they do not like what Serbia is doing, that it has its own position, that it will not at someone else's request impose sanctions, that it wants to be friends and not quarrel with anyone — then they release a scarecrow out of the box expecting us to be afraid," Vucic said.
"This is no law, no justice, and Seselj has nothing to do with it. There are only misguided attempts to punish the Serbian government for its policies."......http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150331/1020272994.html#ixzz3Vz4lXoIx
