After being told that Hadzic was impossible to find and that his whereabouts were unknown, the ICTY made public the indictment against him on July 16th 2004, since what was supposed to be a sealed document had already reached the press.
Nakon što mu je saopšteno da je nemoguće pronaći Hadžića i da nije poznato gde se on nalazi, MKSJ je javno objavio optužnicu protiv njega 16. jula 2004, s obzirom da je dokument koji je trebalo da bude zapečaćen već stigao do medija.
