Ratko Mladic plotted to ‘raze Sarajevo to the ground’

The court was also shown shocking video images of seven-year-old Nermin
Divovic, who was shot by a Bosnian Serb sniper while out walking with his
mother. The boy, who was hit in the face, was captured on television holding
on to his mother’s hand as they ran past a United Nations armoured personnel
carrier. He eventually died.

In Sarajevo, giant screens relayed the hearing back to the city that
prosecutors say was held under Mladic’s boot. People watching gasped as
prosecutors showed video footage, filmed by a Canadian Serb nationalist
supporter in 1994, that showed the former general boasting about his snipers.

“Whenever I come by Sarajevo. I kill someone in passing…I go kick the
hell out the Turks… I f— them,” he said.

British television images were also shown of Mladic inspecting artillery dug
into hills encircling Sarajevo. “I did not take part in any crimes. I
have only defended my people,” he said when asked about the shelling
campaign.

A video of the bloody aftermath of a notorious mortar shelling of a market in
Sarajevo, in which dozens died, was shown as evidence of an “overarching”
plan to ethnically cleanse large parts of Bosnia of non-Serbs.
