Encyclopedic overview

Milan Babić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Бабић; 25 February 1956 – 5 March 2006) was a Croatian Serb former dental specialist, politician and convicted war criminal who served as the first president of the Republic of Serbian Krajina, a self-proclaimed state largely populated by Serbs of Croatia that wished to break away from Croatia during the Croatian War of Independence.

After the war, he was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 2004 and was the first ever indictee to plead guilty and enter a plea bargain with the prosecution, after which he was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Babić expressed "shame and remorse" in a public statement and asked his "Croatian brothers to forgive their Serb brothers" for their actions.
