Mile Novakovic (Serbian Cyrillic: ???? ?????????; 29 April 1950 – 14 September 2015) was a major general active in the military of Serbian Krajina and in the Federal Yugoslav Army, during and after the Croatian War of Independence.
He was tried in absentia by a Croatian court in 1995 for war crimes, being sentenced to 20 years in jail.
In 2003, another Yugoslav Army official was apprehended by Macedonian officials citing an Interpol warrant, as he tried to cross into the country.
This man was released after the mistaken identity was discovered.
The real Novakovic remained at large in Serbia. In 2010, Novakovic testified at the trial of Momcilo Perišic at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
Perišic had previously promoted Novakovic to the rank of Major-General in the Federal Yugoslav Army in 1993.
Perišic was acquitted upon appeal of all charges on 28 February 2013.
