Bosniaks of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The war crimes acquittal of the Bosnian Army’s former commander in Srebrenica, Naser Oric, has angered Serbs but delighted some Bosniaks.

The Bosnian Army’s former commander in Srebrenica, Naser Oric, was acquitted on appeal at his retrial of killing three Serb prisoners of war in 1992.

The state prosecution ordered the reopening of an investigation into five suspects accused of involvement in the May 1992 attack on a Yugoslav People’s Army convoy that was withdrawing from Sarajevo.

In closing arguments at the retrial of the Bosnian Army’s former commander in Srebrenica, Naser Oric, the defence said that he should be acquitted of killing three Serb prisoners of war in 1992.

Bakir Izetbegovic is the leader of the SDA party and currently the Bosniak (Muslim) representative in the tripartite Presidency of BiH.

Sebija Izetbegovic spoke during an SDA campaign gathering in central Sarajevo to say she is "not a professional politician - but will become one, God willing."

Naser Oric’s defence in his war crimes trial questioned the credibility of a witness who said he saw the Bosnian Army’s former commander in Srebrenica open fire on a Serb prisoner in 1992.
