Cvetkovic Ordered Into Custody

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has ordered Aleksandar Cvetkovic, who was earlier extradited from Israel over his suspected involvement in the Srebrenica genocide, into one-month custody because he might flee.

Cvetkovic, a former member of the Tenth Saboteur Squad of the Bosnian Serb Army, is suspected of being a member of a firing squad that killed at least 900 Muslim men and boys from Srebrenica at Branjevo farm near the town of Zvornik in July 1995.

He was extradited to Bosnia on Thursday from Israel, where he had lived since 2006.

Cvetkovic is the seventh member of the Tenth Saboteur Squad to be prosecuted over the Branjevo farm massacre. Another six members of the firing squad were sentenced to a total of 127 years of prison.
