Njegov poziv uslijedio je nakon bijega bivšeg vojnika bosanskih Srba Radovana Stankovića iz zatvora u gradu Foči na istoku zemlje, gdje je on služio kaznu od 20 godina zatvora zbog porobljavanja, mučenja, zatvaranja i silovanja nesrpskih civila tokom sukoba u BiH u periodu 1992-1995.
His call came a week after the escape of former Bosnian Serb soldier Radovan Stankovic from a prison in the eastern town of Foca, where he was serving a 20-year sentence for the enslavement, torture, imprisonment and rape of non-Serb civilians during the 1992-1995 conflict in BiH.
