| | Pleading Repentance |
| | Babic called on his people to "leave the past behind and turn to the future." He said that he had come before the UN tribunal with a deep sense of shame and remorse for allowing himself to take part in the worst kind of persecution against people simply because they were not Serbs. | | | Babic signed a confession in which he admitted that he had been aware of the forced eviction and persecution of Croats, that he had helped spread pro-Serb propaganda, and that he had helped distribute weapons among the Serb population. | | | Tadic also remains unconvinced that Babic was telling the truth when he claimed before the court that he had not known that civilians were being intentionally killed and that he had learned the details of those incidents only years later. |

| | Hague war crimes tribunal indicts Croatian Serb leader Milan Babic |
| | Babic, 47, is accused of seeking to drive ethnic Croats and other non-Serbs from parts of Croatia that prosecutors say he wanted to make into a "new Serb-dominated state." He was joined in the plan by former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic, then the president of Serbia, the indictment said. | | | Babic testified against Milosevic at his war crimes trial in 2002, asserting that Milosevic played a key political and military role behind the scenes in the Serb revolt in Croatia, despite Milosevic's denial. | | | Babic also was accused of helping to plan or carry out the deportation of thousands of Croats from Krajina. |

| | Babic could face life in prison for his actions, but prosecutors are likely to recommend a milder sentence due to his co-operation with their inquiries. | | | While admitting he knew non-Serb civilians were dying in the war, Babic said he was unaware of the deliberate murder of hundreds of people, and had no knowledge of crimes while they were being committed. | | | However, he has insisted that he was unaware that non-Serb civilians were being murdered deliberately. |

| | ANALYSIS OF THE TESTIMONY OF MILAN BABIC |
| | Milan Babic found a grain of courage to de-mask himself at the end, but not enough courage to refuse being blackmailed by a threat of indictment. | | | One of the accusations made by Babic (and gladly used and exploited by the Prosecution) was the alleged existence of a sinister plan of Milosevic to use the human material of the Krajina refugees to people Kosmet with the Serbs. | | | The second allegation, broadly presented by Babic throughout his testimony, was that the YU Army had been controlled and manipulated by Milosevic to clash with the Croats with no real reason, through a series of provocations by the local Serbs against the Croats, into which the Army would step in heavily. |
