> Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ambassador to Belgrade, Aleksandar Vranjes, said the Hague tribunal was essentially created to convict Serbs and that Western countries had applied double standards to them for more than three decades. He said sentences against Serbian officers and Republika Srpska leaders exceeded 1,000 years, including seven life terms, while four Bosniak and Croat representatives received a combined 45 years for war crimes against Serbs.
