Sonja Biserko, predsjednica Helsinškog komiteta za ljudska prava u Srbiji, izjavila je da je to hapšenje izgleda proračunat potez sa strane Srbije, kojim se želi "umanjiti njena odgovornost, kroz tvrdnje da su rat u Bosni započeli Bošnjaci", uz istovremeni pokušaj da se kriminaliziraju bivši bosanski ratni lideri poput Ganića.
Sonja Biserko, president of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia, said the arrest seemed to be a calculated move on the part of Serbia to "reduce its responsibility, through assertions that the war in Bosnia was started by Bosniaks", while trying to criminalise former Bosnian war leaders such as Ganic.
