This post is also available in: Bosnian
Following the decision, the trial of the three indictees has been scheduled to begin on Tuesday, January 18.
The State Prosecution charges Neskovic, Ilic and Crnogorac, former members of the Jahorina Training Center with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, MUP RS, with having participated in the capture and murder of more than 1,000 Bosniak men in Kravica Agricultural Cooperative, Bratunac municipality in July 1995.
The indictment alleges that indictee Neskovic ordered two members of the Training Center to kill two men. They carried out his alleged order. Ilic is charged with having “verified” the murders by firing bullets into a pile of bodies of prisoners who had previously been shot.
Crnogorac is charged with having personally killed between five and seven prisoners.
The State Court confirmed the indictment against Neskovic and Ilic in September. The two indictees pleaded not guilty in late October this year. The indictment against Crnogorac was confirmed on December 3. He pleaded not guilty at the end of that same month.
Dusko Jevic, former Commander of the Training Center, Mendeljev Djuric and Nedjo Ikonic, former company commanders, and Goran Markovic, former squad commander with the same Center, who are charged with genocide committed in Srebrenica, are currently on trial before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Milivoje Cirkovic, another former member of the Training Center on Mount Jahorina, admitted guilt for his participation in the murders committed in Kravica. He was sentenced to five years in prison.
As part of the agreement concluded with the State Prosecution, he admitted having killed a prisoner on an order given to him by a superior officer.
