The Bosnian state prosecution charged Mitrasinovic on Monday with participating in kidnapping the 20 passengers, transporting them to Visegrad and then torturing and killing them.

According to the charges, Mitrasinovic took part in the crimes with members of the Avengers paramilitary group and the Visegrad Brigade of the Bosnian Serb Army.

He is the 11th person to be charged by the Bosnian prosecution in the Strpci case so far. Ten of them went on trial in Sarajevo in October last year and a further five have been charged in Serbia.

The indictment alleges that the 20 passengers were kidnapped from a train travelling from Belgrade to Bar on February 27, 1993.

They were taken to the village of Prelovo near Visegrad, where they were abused and tortured and then killed on the banks of the river Drina.

The victims were civilians, mostly Bosniaks who were citizens of Serbia or Montenegro. One of them was a Croat from Belgrade and one an unidentified person of African or Asian origin.

Mitrasinovic was living in Montenegro but contacted the prosecution while visiting Bosnia. After being questioned, he was put under house arrest.
