The ‘red notice’ issued by Interpol for the arrest of Milorad Krunic says he is a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and is accused of crimes against humanity.
He was charged by the Bosnian prosecution and a plea hearing in his case was due to take place at the state court in Sarajevo in August, but neither the defendant nor his lawyer appeared.
Judge Zoran Bozic said at the time that summons had been delivered to the defendant by the Higher Court in Belgrade in June, but he failed to respond.
Wartime reservist policeman Krunic is charged with committing crimes within a widespread and systematic attack by the Bosnian Serb Army, police and paramilitary formations against the Bosniak and Croat civilian population in the municipality of Sanski Most in 1992.
According to the charges, on June 11, 1992, he participated in transporting a convoy of civilian prisoners from detention facilities in a sports hall and the Betonirka factory in Sanski Most to the Manjaca detention camp.
He separated six civilians from the others and then participated in killing them by the roadside, the prosecution claimed.
