“I plead not guilty,” Susnjar said.

He is accused of involvement in the killings of 57 Bosniak civilians from the village of Koritnik who were forcibly detained in a house in Pionirska Street in Visegrad, which was then set on fire.

Susnjar and other Bosnian Serb Army troops and members of paramilitary groups then opened fire at the house to prevent the civilians from escaping death, the prosecution alleges.

He was extradited to Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 24 from France, where he had lived for many years.

Every year in Bosnia and Herzegovina, families learn that the remains of persons they have buried, believing them to be their loved ones, were misidentified. However, such cases could be reduced if all families agreed to provide blood samples for DNA identification. The search for remaining missing persons is also slowed by the absence of an umbrella state forensic agency, as well as by the lack of forensic archaeologists, pathologists, and other experts who could take over this work from international colleagues.
