Glogova massacre

The Bosnian state court told BIRN that it has rejected the indictment charging Tadija Mitrovic with crimes against humanity during the war in 1992 because there are not sufficient grounds to suspect that he committed the crime.

Former Territorial Defence fighter Milan Trisic will go on trial on March 23 for crimes including murders, expulsions, unlawful arrests and pillage, the Bosnian state court decided on Tuesday.

State Investigation and Protection Agency police on Tuesday arrested Tadi Mitrovic, who is suspected of having committed a crime against humanity in Glogova on May 18, 1992.

Former Bosniak Territorial Defence fighter Izet Arifovic, who was being tried for murdering three Serb civilians in the Srebrenica and Bratunac areas of Bosnia in 1992, has died.

Former Bosniak Territorial Defence fighter Izet Arifovic was sentenced to ten years in prison for murdering civilians in the Srebrenica and Bratunac areas in 1992, and Suad Smajlovic jailed for a year and two months for mutilating the corpses.

The prosecutor in the Belgrade trial of Bosnian Serb ex-soldier Dalibor Maksimovic, accused of killings and rapes near the Bosnian town of Bratunac in 1992, accused the defence of stalling the court proceedings.

Former Bosnian Serb fighter Zeljko Jovic was sentenced to ten years in prison for involvement in the killings of five Bosniak civilians in the north-western Gradiska municipality in 1993.

The Bosnian state prosecution said that two previously unknown mass graves containing the bodies of victims of the 1992-95 war have been discovered in the towns of Bratunac and Bihac.

The appeals court upheld the conviction of Serb ex-soldier Najdan Mladjenovic, who was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for his role in torching Bosniak homes in Bratunac in 1992.

Two prosecution witnesses told the trial of ex-police chief Goran Saric for genocide in Srebrenica that they didn’t see him in July 1995 in the Bratunac area where many Bosniak prisoners were killed.
