Bosnia Launches New War Crimes Case
A former Croatian Defence Council fighter was charged with killing Bosniaks in Busovaca.
The Bosnian state prosecution on Friday charged Josip Relota, a former member of the Nikola Subic-Zrinski Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council, with killing three Bosniak civilians in a house in Busovaca and severely wounding one other person in January 1993.
“After having left the house, Relota threw a bomb through the window. The bomb exploded inside the house,” the prosecution said.
Relota, who lives in Busovaca, has not been remanded in custody, and has both Bosnian and Croatian citizenship.
The indictment has been sent to the state court for confirmation.
