Summary/Abstract: This paper brings the chronology of the trial, during which Radovan Karadžić was convicted, as the highest-ranking person in the territory of the former Yugoslavia. He was convicted of genocide in the Srebrenica area in 1995 and for persecution, extermination, murder, deportation, inhumane acts (forcible transfer), terrorism, unlawful attacks on civilians and taking of hostages by participating in four joint criminal enterprises (JCEs). The chronology was made based on official documents of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and completed with the Appeal Judgment Summary by the Appeals Chamber, in the proceedings against Radovan Karadžić. The sentence of life imprisonment imposed on him is a message to everyone that war crimes are not tolerated, and the extensive evidence in this case and the facts contained therein are particularly important for establishing the truth about the events in BiH, and deserve this and many other, different analysis.
