Tintor is accused of persecution, unlawful detention, torture, beating, forcing people to do hard labour and the murder of several Bosniaks and Croats at several different locations, as well as in detention camps and other detention facilities in Vogosca and the surrounding area.
The prosecution further alleges that, as a consequence of the crimes listed in the indictment, almost the entire Bosniak and Croat population was deported from the Vogosca area and its surroundings by the end of 1992.
It claims that Tintor committed the crimes during a widespread and systematic attack by the Bosnian Serb Army, police and paramilitary groups against the civilian population in the city of Sarajevo and the Vogosca municipality, in his capacity as president of the Crisis Committee of the Serb Democratic Party in Vogosca.
Tintor has been held in custody since his arrest in February this year.
The indictment has been filed to the state court for confirmation.
Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb president and first leader of the Serb Democratic Party, was convicted of genocide and other crimes by the Hague Tribunal in March this year. The verdict has now gone to appeal.
