Dear friends,

The Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals addresses you on behalf of Ms Tamara Krstić from Belgrade, daughter of General Radislav Krstić who, pursuant to verdict of the Hague Tribunal, serves his sentence in the United Kingdom.

Last week, General Krstić became the victim of a brutal physical assault mounted by a group of inmates in the British Wakefield prison. The immediate consequences include serious injuries (lacerations) on his neck and torso, substantial loss of blood, and coma.

All the so far gathered circumstances indicate that this attack is a long prepared and premeditated. It demonstrates the failure to ensure safety to General rstic in either this, or any other prison facilities in the United Kingdom. Therefore, we beseech you to facilitate a transfer of General Krstić to another country, one that is willing and capable of guaranteeing General Kristi’s safety, preferably to Serbia. We are sending pertinent petitions to the President of the Hague Tribunal Mr. Patrick Robinson, The Hague, to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Geneva, to the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, Strasbourg, to the President of European Union and to mass media.

We would appreciate your earnest engagement and contribution in demanding transfer, safety, and adequate medical treatment of General Radislav Krstic.


Živadin Jovanović, President
Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals
