Stanisic's name appeared also in a report in the Croatian newspaper Nacional last year, linking him with the funding of Karadzic's and Mladic's flight and identifying him as "the main creator of the flight". According to this report, Stanisic was once considered the second in command after Milosevic.
Stanisićevo ime takođe se pojavilo u izveštaju u hrvatskom listu Nacional prošle godine, koji ga je doveo u vezu sa finansiranjem bekstva Karadžića i Mladića i identifikovao ga kao "glavnog organizatora tog bekstva." Prema tom izveštaju, Stanišić je svojevremeno smatran drugim čovekom u lancu komande iza Slobodana Miloševića.
