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.

The glorification of convicted war criminal Ratko Mladic – at rallies, torch-lit gatherings and displays of his photograph in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as at his funeral in Serbia – has spilled over into social media, with posts portraying him as a hero. Members of the public have filed complaints about this, while war survivors have been living in fear, but the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has remained silent, as if a law regulating this issue doesn’t exist.
