“I am not guilty under any count of the indictment,” said Rackovic in court on Friday.

The Bosnian prosecutor has accused the former soldier of committing a series of violent crimes during attacks on Bosniak villages in 1992.

He is charged with taking part in illegal detentions, torture, forced disappearances, rapes and other inhumane acts, with the aim of causing great suffering and serious injury to Bosniak civilians.

The prosecution believes that Rackovic also took part in the illegal arrests of Bosniak civilians, some of whom disappeared during the war and whose bodies were exhumed in 2000 in Slap in the Zepa municipality.

According to the indictment, he is charged with taking five women from a house in Bikavac in Visegrad on July 5, 1992 and transporting them to an abandoned location in Crnca, where he raped them.

His trial will begin in the next 60 days.
