"Moja odluka da se sam branim nije bila laka, i nije bila izraz nepovjerenja u advokate, nego vjerovanja da je realna situacija toliko komplicirana da je može razumjeti i predstaviti samo neko ko je u nju bio uključen od prvog do zadnjeg dana," izjavio je Karadžić.
"My decision to defend myself was not an easy one, and was not an expression of lack of confidence in attorneys, but belief that the actual situation is so complicated that it can be understood and presented only by someone who was involved in it from the first day to the last," Karadzic said.
