“Defendant Dragomir Kezunovic lives in Novi Sad, in the Republic of Serbia. During the criminal proceedings in question, the prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina did not file a proposal to impose prohibitive or custody measures on defendant Kezunovic because the defendant regularly attended hearings during the main trial,” the Bosnian state court said earlier this year.
After his non-attendance at the verdict, the court ordered him into custody.
Under the first-instance verdict, Kezunovic, Dragan Marjanovic, Sasa Gavranovic, Vitomir Devic and Zoran Sljuka were found guilty of taking 28 civilians, who were detained at police premises in Teslic and at Pribinic prison, to mount Borje on the night of June 17-18, 1992, and killing them.
According to the verdict, Marjanovic was the commander of the Military Police Squad of the Bosnian Serb Army’s Teslic Brigade, while the other defendants were members of the squad and also part of the ‘Mice’ unit.
The verdict ruled that Gavranovic, Devic and Sljuka shot the civilians together with others, but could only determine that Kezunovic was nearby and “contributed to the murder of the 28 civilians”.
