Indictments against Tomic and Vukovic merged

On October 21 the State Court rendered a decision, ordering the merging of the indictments against Radomir Vukovic and Zoran Tomic, charged with genocide in Srebrenica in July 1995.

This was done at the request made by the State Prosecution, which was made after the two indictees had entered their pleas. Tomic entered his plea in September, while Vukovic did it in October this year.
 
The indictment alleges that Vukovic and Tomic were members of the Second Special Police Squad from Sekovici. It further alleges that, between July 10 and July 19, 1995, they participated in a joint criminal enterprise, with an aim of forcibly resettling about 40,000 civilians from Srebrenica and executing more than 7,000 of them.
 
Besides this, the Prosecution charges them with participating in the capture and murder of more than 1,000 men in the Agricultural Cooperative in Kravica on July 13, 1995.
 
In late July 2008 the State Court sentenced seven former members of the Second Special Police Squad from Sekovici for genocide and murder of more than one thousand men in Kravica to a total of 284 years’ imprisonment.
 
Vaso Todorovic was sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for complicity in the same crime, after having reached a guilt admission agreement, which qualified the crime as crime against humanity.
