Miroslav Radic (born 10 September 1962) is a Serbian army officer who became prominent in the Battle of Vukovar, and was later prosecuted for alleged complicity in the Vukovar massacre, but was released after being acquitted by the ICTY.During the Yugoslav wars, Radic served as a Captain in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), serving as the commander of the Special Infantry Unit, 1st Battalion, 1st Guards Motorised Brigade.Thought to have participated in the subsequent Vukovar massacre, Radic was indicted in 1995, along with Mile Mrkšic, Veselin Šljivancanin and Slavko Dokmanovic, by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
The indictment accused him of "responsibility for the mass killing at Ovcara, near Vukovar, of approximately 260 captive non-Serb men".
Radic was formally charged with "crimes against humanity and war crimes including persecutions on political, racial, and religious grounds, extermination, murder, torture, inhuman acts and cruel treatment.", and pleaded not guilty to all counts.Radic turned himself in to the war crimes tribunal in 2002.
He was acquitted on all counts on 27 September 2007, after it was determined that his soldiers had provided the initial security for Vukovar hospital during the massacre, but the cross-examination of three witnesses failed to produce evidence that Radic himself had knowledge of the massacre at Ovcara during the event.
