Republika Srpska Interior Ministry

The Bosnian state prosecution said on Wednesday that it has charged ten suspects including Ejup Ganic, who was a member of Bosnia's presidency during the war, with committing war crimes against prisoners of war and civilians in the controversial Dobrovoljacka Street case.

The Supreme Court in Bosnia's Federation entity has rejected Jovo Galic's appeal against the verdict convicting him of committing a war crime against the civilian population and sentencing him to two-and-a-half years in prison.

Zoran Pantic, who participated in killing six members of a family in 1993 and then escaped from prison and went to live in Switzerland under a false name, was extradited to Bosnia and Herzegovina and has been back behind bars in Bijeljina since Monday evening, local media reported on Tuesday.

The Republika Srpska Interior Ministry said on Monday that it has shelved amendments that envisaged the establishment of the new reservist police force, after coming under criticism from Bosniak war victims' groups and from Bosnia and Herzegovina's Western allies.

In his first television appearance on Wednesday evening since he went into hiding on December 30, Davor Dragicevic accused the authorities in Republika Srpska of seeking to kill him, after daily protests over the death of his 21-year-old son sparked widespread public anger in Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity.

The parents of the killed Bosnian youngster whose death has shaken the country want his remains exhumed from Banja Luka, in Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, so they can bury them in Austria.

A week after the terrorist attack on a police station in the eastern Bosnian town of Zvornik, police in Republika Srpska carried out a major operation aimed at identifying and neutralizing possible terrorist threats coming from radical Islamic groups.

ZVORNIK - One police officer was killed and two others were wounded late Monday around 7 p.m. when a gunman broke into a police station in Zvornik, a town in Republika Srpska near the Serbian border, Spokesman of the Republika Srpska Interior Ministry Milan Salamadija said.

The attacker shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) was shot dead during the attack, Salamadija said.

Officers from the Bosnian State Investigative and Protection Agency, SIPA arrested the alleged jihad recruiters during raids in Sarajevo, Kiseljak, Zenica, Magaj, Srebrenik, Zvornik, Buzim and Teslic on Wednesday in an operation codenamed Damask.
