In 2013 he testified on behalf of Radovan Karadzic. Trifković denied being a former spokesman for Karadzic at a time he was a journalist and analyst reporting on Karadzic's activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Psychosis’ In Court )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Srđa Trifković」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
