Vojislav Seselj

Serbian politician Vojislav Seselj founded the Serbian Radical Party in 1991 and served with Slobodan Milosevic in the national unity government.

He was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for crimes against humanity in 2003. His trial began in November 2007.

While in the ICTY's custody, Seselj wrote a book entitled Felon and War Criminal Javier Solana. The book criticized the NATO Secretary General for his role in the 1999 war in Kosovo. Seselj also launched a 28-day hunger strike while imprisoned at The Hague after the ICTY denied his right to select his own counsel.
