“The defendant has also been charged with having personally participated, while armed with an automatic rifle, in the forced resettlement of the Bosniak civilian population from the village of Donje Veletovo in June 1992, when the entire population was forcibly transported towards the Sokolac municipality, where women, children and the elderly were expelled to territory controlled by the Bosnian Army, while around 50 Bosniak men were escorted by armed members of the Bosnian Serb Army and police to the Paklenik pit locality, where they were killed,” the prosecution said in a statement.

“Only one person survived the shooting,” the statement added.

Kovacevic was charged as a member of the Visegrad Public Security Station’s reservist police forces.

According to the prosecution, he currently lives in Serbia.

The indictment was filed to the Bosnian state court for confirmation.
