An international warrant was issued against Ikonic. At the beginning of last year he was sentenced in the US to one year in prison after he admitted that he had given false personal data when he moved to the country.
A US Federal Court sentenced Ikonic because he failed to mention that he participated in operations conducted by the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, and police in Srebrenica in July 1995.
The State Prosecution suspects that in 1995 Ikonic commanded a police unit which acted in collaboration with the VRS, and guarded the roads in the vicinity of Srebrenica.
The indictment against Drago Nikolic, who is currently awaiting the verdict in his trial before the Hague Tribunal, alleges that Ikonic was Commander of the Second Company on Mount Jahorina.
Earlier this week the State Prosecution filed an indictment against Dusko Jevic, known as Staljin, Mendeljev Djuric, known as Mane, and Goran Markovic, charging them with having participated in the genocide committed in Srebrenica in July 1995.
The three men are charged with having participated, in collaboration with other members of the VRS and RS Police, in “a systematic joint criminal enterprise” with the aim of deporting women and children and killing Bosniak men from Srebrenica, from July 10 to 19, 1995.
The unconfirmed indictment alleges that Jevic was Assistant Commander for Security of the Special Police Brigade with the RS Ministry of Internal Affairs and Commander of the Jahorina Training Center, Djuric was Commander of the First Company at the Center and Markovic was Commander of the Second Squad with the First Company at the time.
