The transfer of the “Vukovar Three” Case (Mrkšić, Radić,Šljivančanin) is especially popular these days.Even though there has been certain progress in Serbia and certain conditionsfor the trials of war criminals have been created (special courts andprosecutions have been created, legal regulations have been coordinated,optimal technical conditions have been created, and expert professionaland impartial first instance trial panels have been established), the anti-Hague lobby is still very strong, spread, and influential in Serbia. The SupremeCourt represents significant foothold, base, and the centre of theanti-Hague lobby in Serbia. Except for the dismissal of Presiding Judge Govedaricaand Judge Lelovac, this institution kept the same organisation as ithad during Slobodan Milošević’s regime.
