The state prosecution on Tuesday filed an indictment against Buza, the former commander of the Prozor Independent Battalion of the Bosnian Army, charging him with ordering and participating in the attack on the village of Uzdol and hamlets of Krize, Zelenike and Raici on September 14, 1993.

According to the charges, Bosnian Army troops killed 27 Croat civilians, including children, women and elderly and bed-ridden people in the villages.

The youngest victim was a ten-year-old boy, while the oldest was an 87-year-old woman.

According to autopsy reports and other evidence, the victims were killed with firearms and cold weapons.

“The defendant has been charged with having been present in the field during the operation and in the immediate vicinity of the place where the murders were committed,” the prosecution said in a statement.

“In addition, he has been charged with having received information on the crimes and their scale from Bosnian Army security bodies, but he failed to do anything to conduct an investigation or process and punish the crime perpetrators, who were his subordinates,” it added.
