In a judgment issued on 24 March 2016 in the separate trial of Radovan Karadžić and on 22 November 2017 in the separate trial of Ratko Mladić, the ICTY said there was no evidence that Milošević "participated in the realization of the common criminal objective" and that "Milošević and other Serbian leaders openly criticised Bosnian Serb leaders of committing crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing and the war for their own purposes" during the 1992-95 war.
