After being told that Hadzic was impossible to find and that his whereabouts were unknown, the ICTY made public the indictment against him on July 16th 2004, since what was supposed to be a sealed document had already reached the press.
Nakon što mu je priopćeno kako je nemoguće pronaći Hadžića, te kako nije poznato gdje se on nalazi, ICTY je javno objavio optužnicu protiv njega 16. srpnja 2004. godine, budući da je dokument koji je trebao biti zapečaćen već stigao u medije.
