Holbrooke: U.S. led similar wars in Kosovo, Bosnia

The U.S. led and won wars in Bosnia and Kosovo, similar to the one it is currently fighting in Afghanistan, says Richard Holbrooke. The former Clinton administration Balkans envoy, now U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, spoke in Doha, Qatar.

“Holbrooke knows we’re not criminals”

Radovan Karadžić says it is “irrefutable” that there was an agreement between him and former American Balkans envoy Richard Holbrooke. In his first interview for the Serbian media in 13 years, the former political leader of Bosnia’s Serbs told Belgrade daily Večernje Novosti that Holborooke, on behalf of the United States, gave him amnesty from the Hague Tribunal in exchange for his retreat from politics, but that Holbrooke did not honor this deal.
