The trial of Dane Lukajic, a 68-year-old citizen of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina accused of committing war crimes against prisoners of war while he was a captain in the Bosnian Serb Army in 1992, started on Monday at Zagreb County Court.
Lukajic is charged with ordering his Bosnian Serb Army subordinates at the Manjaca camp near the Bosnian town of Banja Luka to beat and injure two Croatian Defence Council, HVO members as well as three Croatian Defence Forces, HOS detainees.
He is also charged with personally inflicting serious injuries on one of the HOS members.
Croatian police arrested Lukajic as he was entering the country in June this year.
The Bosnian Serb-run Manjaca camp operated from 1991-92 and briefly again in 1995. The majority of prisoners were Croat and Bosniak soldiers and civilians.
