WARSAW, December 6 - RAPSI. The Warsaw District Court has allowed Radislav Krstic, who was convicted in the Hague, to serve his prison term in Poland, the court's press secretary Igor Tuleja told RIA Novosti. An attempt to kill Krstic was made in a UK prison.

"The court found it is acceptable to execute the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavias (ICTY) sentence of April 19, 2004 regarding Radislav Krstic, in Poland," Tuleja said and added that the ruling might be appealed.

Polish Justice Minister Jaroslaw Gowin, who has to approve the ruling, filed the application to the court. He previously called the tribunals proposal on Krstic's transfer "a display of the international community's trust to Poland and its authority, particularly in the field of human rights' protection." Gowin promised that Krstic will be protected and treated good in Poland.

The Polish media reported that the decision to transfer the former general with the fact that two years ago imprisoned Muslims attacked him trying to revenge for their coreligionists who were killed in Bosnia in a UK Prison in Wakefield. They almost killed him and he was transferred to the Hague afterwards. But the similar danger might threaten to the former general, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison, in other Western prisons.
