Serbian Office for Co-operation with the ICTY chief Dusan Ignjatovic told SETimes it was particularly important for Serbia that the verdict determined Perisic was not superior to the Republika Srpska armed forces and their commander Ratko Mladic -- who was indicted for genocide in Srebrenica.
Direktor Kancelarije Vlade Srbije za saradnju sa MKSJ Dušan Ignjatović izjavio je za SETimes da je za Srbiju posebno važno što je u presudi zaključeno da Perišić nije bio pretpostavljeni oružanim snagama Republike Srpske i njihovom komandantu Ratku Mladiću -- koji je optužen za genocid u Srebrenici.
