Bosnian Genocide

Former Bosnian Serb Army serviceman Petar Kovacevic pleaded not guilty to participating in crimes against civilians, including murder and rape, near Visegrad in 1992.

Six Bosnian Serbs convicted of the genocide of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in 1995 are appealing against their 20-year prison sentences, arguing that they are too harsh.

BELGRADE – Serbia’s War Crimes Prosecutor’s Office said in a release Friday that an indictment had been issued in cooperation with the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) against four former members of the Bosnia-Herzegovina Army over war crimes against Serb civilians, including the killing of 21 people who were on a refugee convoy from the BiH city of Gorazde on August 27, 1992.

Survivors of the Koricani Cliffs massacre marked the anniversary of the execution of more than 150 Bosniak and Croat civilian prisoners from Prijedor at Mount Vlasic in August 1992.

Testimonies from Bosnian Serb prisoners held at the Silos wartime detention camp in Hadzici near Sarajevo described repeated beatings by Bosniak guards and terrible conditions in the cells.

The Bosnian State Investigation and Protection Agency arrested former Bosnian Serb fighter Dragan Glogovac on suspicion that he took part in wartime crimes against prisoners in Zavidovici.

Serb forces took civilians from Srebrenica to a ‘white house’ near a UN compound and killed some of them, according to a former Dutch peacekeeping officer tasked with protecting them.

A protected witness in the trial of ex-soldier Oliver Krsmanovic, accused of killing Bosniaks in Visegrad, knew the defendant wasn’t guilty but refused to testify, the Bosnian court was told.

The trial for war crimes at detention centres in Hadzici near Sarajevo was told that beatings and abuse of Serb prisoners were almost everyday events at the Silos jail camp.

The event marking 22 years since the closure of the notorious Omarska camp near Prijedor was cancelled when the owners of the site, ArcelorMittal, did not allow Bosnian soldiers in.
