Kostunica

Funding and broadcast equipment provided to the media arms of the opposition were a decisive factor in electing opposition candidate Vojislav Kostunica as Yugoslav president, according to Levin.

Eloquent and energetic, with a PhD in philosophy from Germany, Djindjic's passion for a modern Serbia tied to the West was replaced by the somber and increasingly nationalist tone of Vojislav Kostunica.

Kostunica was contemptuous of the United Nations war crimes tribunal in The Hague and reluctant to hunt down Mladic and his political chief Radovan Karadzic.

Karadzic was apprehended weeks after Kostunica left office in 2008.

Prosecutors have in the past also questioned retired general Aco Tomic, the head of BIA when Kostunica was president of rump Yugoslavia between 2000 and 2003.
