The members of the team that supports Vojislav Seselj's defense filed a denunciation against Borislav Pelevic to the Serbian War Crimes Prosecution for crimes committed in Zvornik in April 1992, the Serbian Radical Party announced on Feb. 5.

"Numerous witnesses who sat in the Hague Tribunal courtroom claimed that the Serbian Volunteer Guard is responsible for the crimes committed in Zvornik on April 9, 1992, for which Seselj has been charged. Borislav Pelevic, who was deputy commander at the time, already stated that he was in Zvornik on that day," the party announced.

It was concluded that the War Crimes Prosecution should serve the interests of the truth by investigating whether there are enough indications to start a criminal proceeding.

The War Crimes Prosecution Spokesman Bruno Vekaric confirmed to BETA that they have received the denunciation, but refused to give any details.

The denunciation was inked by Gordana Pop-Lazic, Marina Ragus, and Petar Jojic, and they referred to the statements of a number of witnesses in Seselj's trial before the Hague Tribunal, to those given to the Tribunal investigators, as well as those which some witnesses have given to the team members and Pelevic's recent statement in Kurir daily.
