I Pledge 2020 Zaklinjem se Directed by Milutin Petrović, Nikola Dragović https://letterboxd.com/film/i-pledge/ Synopsis In 1991, armed conflicts began in the Socialist Republic of Croatia. This documentary follows the personal story of Igor, then a nineteen-year-old citizen of Belgrade who was recruited and sent to compulsory military service in the barracks in Varaždin, recorded by the camera of a family friend and video enthusiast Predrag Bata Milošević. A few months later, Igor returns from war twice as old and with scars that will probably never be healed. Today, after almost three decades, a whole generation is silent. × Ratko Mladic appeal of life sentence is rejected by court, turning page for Yugoslavia tribunal Published 8 Jun, 2021 https://www.rt.com/news/526007-ratko-mladic-appeal-court/ A UN appeals court in The Hague has upheld a life sentence against Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic, who in 2017 was convicted of war crimes committed during the 1992-95 war. The former military commander was found guilty by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia of genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of war. He appealed the ruling before the UN’s International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals, which rejected it on Tuesday. Mladic was the last major figure put on trial over crimes committed during the bloody and lengthy partition of Yugoslavia. The appeal was his last chance to overturn the sentence, so the 79-year-old will now spend the rest of his life behind bars. Also on rt.com Have we forgotten Nuremberg?

The political Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic was convicted of the same crimes and is serving a life sentence.
