Primakov connected CIA and Stanisic
Jovica Stanisic, former chief of Serbia State Security secured the CIA
support in the process led against him by the Hague Tribunal with the
help of Russia’s former foreign minister, prime minister and chief of
intelligence service Yevgeny Primakov, ‘Blic’ learns. According to our
source Stanisic personally is behind the article published by ‘The LA
Times’.
According to our source the article is meant for both foreign and
domestic public and is to present Stanisic as somebody who opposed
Slobodan Milosevic, Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic and did everything
to prevent escalation of conflict in former Yugoslavia. All of these in
order to get as mild sentence by the Hague Tribunal as possible.
Stanisic could be sentenced for life for crimes against humanity,
setting up, organizing and commanding special police forces under
exclusive control of the State Security that he led from 1991 to 1998.
Severe sentences ruled to five state and army officials bring Stanisic
before the wall. With a help of Primakov he activates the whole net of
his foreign colleagues.
Stanisic met Primakov in the early 90s in Belgrade and they became close
friends. Thanks to their close relations Stanisic met in 1994 in Moscow
with then Russia president Boris Yeltsin. Milosevic was mad because he
was not the first official from Serbia to met Yeltsin.
Primakov was obviously successful in reminding the CIA about Stanisic’s
services.
