Zvornik

The Bosnian Missing Persons Institute said on Wednesday that the three victims of the Srebrenica massacres who have been identified will be buried at a collective funeral ceremony alongside 13 others at the Srebrenica Memorial Centre in July this year.

Crossings with Bosnia and Herzegovina completely jammed.
Border crossings cameras are showing convoys of vehicles entering Serbia at the crossings of Mali Zvornik, Sremska Raca and Trbusnica.
Convoys of vehicles are also registered at the Horgos crossing, at the entrance to Serbia from Hungary, but also at Batrovci and the Sid crossing towards Croatia.

State Investigation and Protection Agency officers arrested seven suspects in the towns of Tuzla and Sapna on Wednesday for committing crimes against civilians and prisoners of war in the Zvornik area from October 8, 1992 to July 6, 1994.

A 'red notice' has been issued by Interpol to alert countries around the world that former Territorial Defence fighter Dusan Spasojevic, who has both Serbian and Bosnian citizenship, is wanted in Bosnia and Herzegovina for war crimes against civilians.

A hearing in the case against wartime Territorial Defence fighter Dusan Spasojevic at the Bosnian state court in Sarajevo was cancelled on Tuesday as his lawyer said he had received a message from the defendant's relatives saying that he had absconded.

"On Friday I got a text message from the relatives: 'He has left,'" said defence lawyer Nenad Rubez.

Witness Alija Handzic told the war crimes trial of Dalibor Maksimovic at Belgrade Higher Court on Thursday how her three brothers were taken away from a house in Sabac, a city in north-western Serbia, in 1992, and never seen alive again.

Former Bosnian Army soldier Elfeta Veseli asked the appeals chamber of the state court in Sarajevo on Monday to quash the sentence convicting her of killing a Serb boy and hold a retrial.

Veseli said she hoped the appeals chamber would "correct the fatal mistake" of the first-instance verdict handed down in May this year.

The killings of 36 Bosniak civilians in the village of Snagovo near Zvornik in eastern Bosnia on April 29, 1992, are being commemorated on Monday with a religious ceremony, a lecture for young people and a visit to the cemetery where the victims are buried.

Photographer Hrvoje Polan, writer Viktor Ivancic and journalist Nemanja Stjepanovic presented their new book 'Behind the Seven Camps: From Crimes of Culture to Culture of Crime', about the use of cultural buildings as wartime detention and killing sites, on Thursday evening at Zagreb's Gric cinema.

Dusan Spasojevic, a former member of a Serb-led Territorial Defence force, was charged with committing a war crime against a Bosniak in the Zvornik area in 1992.
