Radoslav Čelnik (Serbian Cyrillic: Радослав Челник) was a duke (Voivode) of Srem in the 16th century. At first, Radoslav Čelnik was a general commander of Emperor Jovan Nenad's army. In 1527, when Emperor Jovan Nenad was murdered and his army was dispersed, Radoslav Čelnik, together with part of the former emperor's army moved from Bačka to Srem and acceded into the Ottoman service. Radoslav Čelnik then ruled over Srem as an Ottoman vassal and took for himself the title of the duke of Srem, while his residence was in Slankamen.

Being an Ottoman vassal, Radoslav Čelnik also secretly kept the connection with Habsburgs. When the Ottoman army passed through Srem, Radoslav Čelnik moved to Habsburg territory, but when the Ottomans returned from their foray, Radoslav Čelnik also returned to Srem. However, after this return, he did no longer ruled over entire Srem, and his residence was no more in Slankamen, but in the town named Nebojc, on the river Vuka near Vukovar. In 1530, he made agreement with the Habsburgs, and moved from Srem to Habsburg territory, publicly concluded his alliance with Ottomans, and acceded into Habsburg service.

Radovan Karadžić (Serbian: Радован Караџић, pronounced [râdovaːn kâradʒitɕ]; born 19 June 1945) is a former Bosnian Serb politician. During the breakup of Yugoslavia, Karadžić as President of Republika Srpska sought the direct unification of Republika Srpska into Serbia. He is detained in the United Nations Detention Unit of Scheveningen, accused of war crimes committed against Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats during the Siege of Sarajevo, as well as ordering the Srebrenica massacre.

Educated as a psychiatrist, he co-founded the Serbian Democratic Party in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was the first President of Republika Srpska from 1992 to 1996.

He was a fugitive from 1996 until July 2008 after having been indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The indictment concluded there were reasonable grounds for believing he committed war crimes, including genocide against Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat civilians during the Bosnian War (1992–95). While a fugitive he worked at a private clinic in Belgrade specialising in alternative medicine and psychology under the alias Dr. Dragan David Dabić (Др Драган Давид Дабић) under the company name of “Human Quantum Energy”. His nephew, Dragan Karadžić, has claimed in an interview to the Corriere della Sera that Radovan Karadžić attended football matches of Serie A and that he visited Venice under the false identity of Petar Glumac.

Momir Talić (15 July 1942 – 28 May 2003) was a Bosnian Serb and general in the Yugoslav National Army.

Talić was the Chief of Staff of the JNA 5th Corps in Banja Luka as of 26 July 1991. He was promoted to Commander of the same corps, which was renamed 1st Krajina Corps of the Republika Srpska Army (VRS) on 19 March 1992. In the aftermath of the breakup of Yugoslavia, Republika Srpska was one of many states established. Territorial and other conflicts between the new states led to the Bosnian War. During the war, the VRS was responsible for numerous atrocities against the civilian population, specifically the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat population.

Talić was indicted on 14 March 1999 for war crimes, including genocide, torture and wanton destruction. He was arrested on 25 August 1999 in Austria. He pled not guilty to all the charges against him.

Talić was initially tried with Radoslav Brđanin, a politician and President of the ARK Crisis Staff, but the trials were separated on 20 September 2002 due to Talić's ill health. Talić died in Belgrade on 28 May 2003.
