U najmanje dvije ranija podneska tribunala, Karadžić se požalio na nepravilnosti vezane za njegovo hapšenje u Srbiji i ustvrdio da je žrtva kontinuiranog "medijskog lova na vještice" koji ozbiljno ugrožava njegove šanse za pravično suđenje.
In at least two other earlier submissions to the tribunal's registry, Karadzic complained of irregularities surrounding his arrest in Serbia and claimed he had been a victim of a continuous "media witch hunt" that seriously jeopardised his chances for a fair trial.
