Moscow calls ICTY sentence on Karadzic politicized - Deputy Foreign Minister Gatilov

MOSCOW. March 25 (Interfax) - Moscow has called politicized the decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to sentence former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic to 40 years in prison.

"We have said a long time ago that the ICTY activity is politicized. Alas, every case it has processed has been one-sided, and the crimes committed by Kosovo leaders and servicemen have not been looked into. We think that such imbalances in the ICTY activity are inadmissible," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov has told Interfax in an interview.

He gave an affirmative answer to the question whether the sentence handed down to Karadzic was politicized.
