The indictment has been filed to the state court for confirmation.

The state prosecution also announced on Thursday that three more people have been arrested on suspicion of committing crimes in the village of Jusici during wartime.

State Investigation and Protection Agency officers arrested Branko Studen, Pero Radic and Bozo Vidovic.

They are suspected of committing crimes during an attack on Jusici in May 1992, when 48 Bosniaks were killed.

“They are suspected, as former members of the Territorial Defence of the Serbian municipality of Zvornik, of having participated in a widespread and systematic attack on the Bosniak civilian population in Zvornik and the surrounding area, as well as an attack on the village of Jusici, which was inhabited by a Bosniak civilian population,” the prosecution said.

After questioning the three suspects, the prosecution will decide whether to ask for them to be remanded in custody.
