Following the arrest of former Bosnian Serb military leader Ratko Mladić in 2011 , Šarović described the victims of the Srebrenica massacre as " casualties of war " and that said he believed in Mladić 's innocence . He was quoted as saying , " Those who died in Srebrenica were only those who did not lower their weapons and continued to fight . War is war and these things happen . " During this time , Šarović also served as an adviser to Radical Party leader Vojislav Šešelj , who was then facing war crimes charges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia ( ICTY ) in The Hague , Netherlands . On one occasion , the tribunal forbade Šešelj from meeting with Šarović because the Šešelj was using the meetings to send out political directives , contrary to these tribunal 's rules
