Een Franse UN officier (KDZ185) getuigde ten gunste van Radovan Karadzic. Hij stemde in met de verklaring van Karadzic, dat de aanslag op een markt in Sarajevo (Markala) in elkaar gezet was door de Bosnische Moslims. Die aanslag werd vervolgens in de schoenen van de Serviërs gelegd. Naar aanleiding daarvan werden de Bosnische Serviërs door de NAVO gebombardeerd.

Hearing date: June 28, 2010

A French UNPROFOR officer stationed in Sarajevo during 1993 testified for the Prosecution in the Karadzic trial on Monday, June 28, 2010. The witness testified under the pseudonym “KDZ185”.

Markale Attack Staged by Muslims

The witness agreed with Karadzic’s claim that “it was in the interests of the Muslim side to dramatize the situation in Sarajevo.” The witness said, “I do believe that in order to make up for their inferiority, in military terms, the Bosnian government would carry out a kind of media war.”

Karadzic followed up and asked, “And for that purpose, they staged various dramatic incidents around the city?” To which the witness replied, “That's what I was told, and I believe that I, too, have witnessed such incidents.”

Karadzic then put it to the witness that “You had one opportunity to eye-witness that a shell targeted a building in Markale, had been fired from Muslim territory, with an error of margin of maximum 300, 400 meters, and it was obvious that the Serbs could not have fired it?”

The witness confirmed, “I did not witness this, this hit, with my own eyes, but I know it reached the courtyard of a residential block not far from the Markale market-place, and there were crater analyses carried out then which, indeed, showed that it was very likely that the shell was fired from a position close to the front-line to the north of the city.” (i.e. Muslim territory)

Karadzic asked the witness, “When was that crater analysis done?” The witness replied, “it was carried out straight away as soon as the UN, the UNPROFOR, heard of it.”

Karadzic followed-up asking, “Is it of any significance that the analysis was done immediately after the event?” And the witness responded, “Yes, indeed, because in this way it could be made sure that there was no meddling with the data on the ground, so that you could have as objective a crater analysis as possible, you couldn't tamper with the evidence.”
