Hmm, not to start a "political" discussion here, but here some information on one of the 5th Kozara’s brigade actions.
(I find the tone of the text for the introduction of this figure line a bit questionable and i think it needs some "counterintelligence"...)

Pero Colic

The commander of the Fifth Kozara Brigade from Prijedor was Pero Colic. A Hague witness described him delivering a speech urging Serbs to join his brigade and to "avenge all the crimes committed against them," and attacking those Serbs who joined the other side as "traitors." His and Basara's brigades allegedly carried out the massacre of 73 civilians in Stara Rijeka and other villages on 24-25 July 1992. A Human Rights Watch report also linked Colic to a number of wartime atrocities. Biljana Plavsic named Colic as Mladic's replacement as commander of the RS Army in 1997.

Today Pero Colic owns a construction company in Pale.

Re: 5th Kozara’s brigade

IMHO a rather tasteless choice of subject. But one mans alledged war criminal is another mans hero. I still find it disturbing though that a subject such as this is produced when there are thousands of honourable subjects waiting to be discovered. These "odd" choices often reflect a certain ideology on the part of the manufacturer or an attempt to tap into a certain market. If I have upset anyone with my opinion then so be it. If you are free to produce such subjects then we are free to comment on them.

For the western Nato countries this man is probably a war criminal. In Serbia and on the east - he is a hero. Since I am from Serbia I do not see anything odd or tasteless here.
Good work Dimitri !!! I hope we will see Ratko Mladic here soon.

He is in Hague where he belongs... Perhaps the moderator would like to close this one before it gets political.

I'm watching it.

I'm sure we can all behave with civility.

How fair is it for me to lock the thread by a request, right after the requester has thrown the last word?

I should lock it based simply because this thread is two months old and we have moved along on this topic anyway.
