“The three defendants are charged with overseeing and ordering the work of ordinary and reservist police officers in Teslic, who, along with members of the ‘Mice’ [police and military] unit and Bosnian Serb Army servicemen, took part in attacks and the persecution of civilians in predominantly Bosniak and Bosnian Croat settlements,” the prosecution said in a statement.
The attacks and illegal detentions of non-Serb civilians resulted in torture, abuse, beatings and killings, according to the prosecutors.
The remains of some of the victims have been found but many have not, the prosecutors said.
According to the charges, Kuzmanovic was also a member of the Teslic Crisis Staff, the leading civilian governmental body in the town in 1992.
The indictment has been sent to the Bosnian state court for confirmation.
