Representatives of Bosnian victims' associations have condemned reports that the Hague tribunal is considering temporarily releasing the former Bosnian Serb leader.

The Bosnian state court upheld the conviction of former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Dragan Sekaric for rape and murder in Visegrad in 1992, raising his sentence from 14 to 17 years in prison.

The daughter of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, who is currently on trial for war crimes, was elected as National Assembly deputy speaker in Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska.

The president of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated entity Republika Srpska has called the war crimes indictment of former Bosnian Army general Naser Oric “a farce” that will inevitably end in acquittal.

Former Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Nikola Sainovic, who was incarcerated in Sweden after the Hague Tribunal found him guilty, has returned to the country.

Sainovic arrived in Belgrade late on Wednesday. He was released after having served two thirds of his sentence.

The Bosnian court told Dragomir Vasic, an ex-police chief charged with genocide soon after becoming an MP in the country’s Serb-led Republika Srpska entity parliament, not to leave the country.

The daughter of the former Bosnian Serb leader, who is currently on trial for war crimes, has been elected as a member of parliament in Serb-dominated Republika Srpska.
