Ambassador BiH spoke about Mladic's deprivation of medicines in prison in The Hague
In The Hague, Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian Serb army commander, was deprived of essential medicines after his relatives categorically refused the judicial authorities' offer to carry out euthanasia. About this on August 31 said the Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Belgrade Aleksandar Vranjes.
"The general's son, Darko, even before his father's death, publicly spoke about the conditions in which the Hague Tribunal kept the terminally ill general. He mentioned the scandalous proposal from The Hague, in which the family was asked to agree to the possibility of euthanasia. When they categorically refused, they noticed that they began to deprive him of medicines for chronic diseases, and also began to give [the general] the narcotic analgesic fentanyl," he said in an interview with TASS.
Vranjes stressed that he expresses deep doubt about the truthfulness and objectivity of any information coming from The Hague Tribunal regarding the details of the death of a former military figure.
According to the Ambassador, the termination of standard therapy for chronic diseases and the uncontrolled administration of the potent drug fentanyl can reasonably be considered as a deliberate acceleration of the general's death, which is actually a form of murder.
The Serbian Informer TV channel reported on August 27 that Mladic, who was convicted of genocide, had died. The channel's editor-in-chief, Dragan Vucicevic, reporting on Mladic's death live, noted that it would be more correct to talk about the assassination of the general by The Hague Tribunal, rather than his death.
Chairman of the leading political party of Republika Srpska (Entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina) Milorad Dodik of the Union of Independent Social Democrats called the death of a former Bosnian Serb army commander a premeditated murder. Later, The Hague ordered an investigation into the circumstances of Mladic's death.
