Appeal
Citizens' association "The Committee for
National Solidarity",
Tolstojeva 34, Yu-11000 Belgrade, Yugoslavia [1-23-2001]
Distinguished Sir / Madam
The citizens' association, The Committee for
National Solidarity, addresses to you with an appeal that you
urge your Government, the Parliament, the relevant institutions,
organizations and media, for the permission that Mr. Radislav
Krstic, the General of the Army of the Republic of Srpska [Bosnian
Serb Republic], be trasferred to the Military-Medical Academy in
Belgrade. An urgent re-amputation of his right leg, above the
knee, is demanded, that is expected to be followed by a
precarious post-operative recuperation. Regarding the
previous experiences with the medical services provided by the
Hague Tribunal, and in particular the death of General Djukic
immediately after his release from the imprisonment in Hague,
the sudden death of Dr. Kovacevic (later investigations revealed
that he vas not given the necessary emergency medical aid), the
alleged suicide of Mr. Slavko Dokmanovic in his cell and Gen.
Krstic's personal experience (from the beginning of his stay in
the Hague prison he was deprived of the proper medical treatment),
General Krstic refuses to be subjected to the necessary
operation if it is performed by the medical services of the Hague
Tribunal. This may lead to a tragic outcome. Last month, a
member of our Committee visited General Krstic in the prison, and
was shocked by his overall physical condition, as well as with
the conduct of the prison's medical department. We fear that, if
an immediate action is not undertaken, the consequences for the
health and life of Mr. Krstic may be tragic. Today, we have
received a stirring plea from his only daughter, Tamara Krstic,
and decided to turn to you for help.
Jela Jovanovic,
Secretary general of the Committee for National Solidarity
