Hundreds of Bosnian Croats have been lighting candles in public squares
in cities around the country in honor of Slobodan Praljak who drank
poison moments after a U.N judge confirmed his 20-year war crimes
sentence, and later died.

Croatia’s president says the nation has been “deeply struck in the
heart” by the death of an ex-Croat general who died shortly after
claiming to have drunk poison as the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal
convicted him of war crimes during Bosnia’s 1992-95 war.

Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic said in an address Thursday that Slobodan
Praljak “would rather take his own life than live as a convict for the
acts he firmly believed he hadn’t committed.”

Grabar Kitarovic has denounced the court ruling which linked Croatia’s
wartime leadership with a plan to create a Croat mini-state in Bosnia.
Grabar Kitarovic says both Croatia and Bosnia were victims of an
“aggression” from Serbia.

What the hell??? They're loving a war criminal who committed suicide to
avoid justice?
