Скачать или смотреть Bosnia 1995 | Uncut Interview with "Butcher of Bosnia" Ratko Mladic

By September 1995, the Bosnian War had been raging for almost three and a half years. The Siege of Sarajevo, one of the longest sieges in modern history, was still underway, with news of a civilian sniping campaign and the murder by Bosnian Serbs of some 8000 Muslim Bosniak men and boys at a UN-declared safe area in Srebrenica in July shocking the international community. At the helm of this was the head of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), General Ratko Mladic, who had been indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in July 1995.

Just two months after this indictment and in the midst of the war, Channel 4’s Alex Thomson and team secured this exclusive interview with Mladic – “the Butcher of Bosnia”, an experience he detailed further in a recent commemorative event co-hosted by the ITN Archive, to mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Massacre last summer.

After the war, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) would pursue Mladic for almost 16 years, until his arrest in May 2011. The ICTY found him guilty on several charges and responsible for the Siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica Massacre. Today he remains imprisoned in the Hague, aged 83.

Below is a chaptered summary to navigate this fascinating interview with ease, completed entirely through a translator.
