Quotations

“[The evidence] is entirely circumstantial, based on presumptions, suppositions, and [Tolimir's] professional association with those who committed the crimes that are the subject of this indictment. [There is nothing] linking him to the crimes committed by his subordinates, nor does the evidence suggest that he knew those crimes were being perpetrated.” (War Crimes Prosecution Watch, Dec. 17, 2012; photo slavicnet.com)
