The indictment confirmed by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, on February 18 charges Maric with having committed persecution by participating in murders, torture and other inhumane acts against the Bosniak population from November 1992 to October 1993.
He is charged with having ordered an HVO member to kill a sick old man and, while being accompanied by a few other unidentified HVO members, personally took six Bosniak civilians from the secondary school centre in Prozor in late summer of 1993. The civilians have been missing without trace since.
Maric was arrested in September last year. He has been held in custody since.
His trial will begin in the forthcoming period.
