Several dozen State Investigation and Protection Agency officers took part in the operation on Monday morning to arrest the 13 men, who include policemen and former members of the ‘Mice’ unit of the Bosnian Serb Army, the Bosnian prosecution said.
The arrested men are all suspected of taking part in the murders of over 40 people, the forced transfer and illegal detention of several hundred people as well as the destruction of property and theft from Bosniaks and Croats.
They were named as Andrija Bjelosevic, Milan Savic, Dusan Kuzmanovic, Predrag Markocevic, Marinko Djukic, Miroslav Pijunovic, Dobrivoj Culibrk, Dragan Marijanovic, Dario Slavuljica, Sasa Gavranovic, Predrag Subotic, Vitomir Devic and Zoran Sljuka
The Bosnian prosecution said that it was one of the cases which was opened by the prosecutors office of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague and was then transferred to local authorities.
After the suspects are questioned, the Bosnian prosecution will decide whether to file a custody motion.
