Adamovic and Lukic: Orders to Drive Civilians

Boro Kosic, former driver with the Background Unit of the 17th Light Infantry Brigade with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, and Marko Adamovic’s nephew, said that on several occasions he drove Bosniaks from Kljuc, including a women who was due to deliver her baby, to various locations, as per the indictee’s orders.

“We were driving towards Pudin Han, in Kljuc municipality, when we saw some women waving at us, because one of them was due to deliver a baby. He ordered me to go back and drive her to a hospital in Kljuc,” Kosic said, adding he also drove Adamovic’s neighbour, who had delivered a baby, to Banja Luka.

The State Prosecution charges Marko Adamovic and Bosko Lukic, as members of the Serbian Democratic Party, SDS, the Crisis Committee and the Kljuc Town Defence Command, with having participated in a joint criminal enterprise by committing crimes against the non-Serb population in the Kljuc area.

The indictment alleges that Adamovic was Deputy Commander of the Territorial Defence Battalion in Kljuc municipality and Commander of the Town Defence Command and Lukic was Commander of the Territorial Defence Headquarters.

According to the charges, they participated in crimes against humanity and organised a group of people and abetted their commission of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Kosic told the Court that Adamovic told him to drive one man to Serbia in mid 1992 and to take Ahmet Cenanovic from Ribnik village to Kljuc.

On January 24 this year Cenanovic testified in defence of Adamovic and said the indictee “did him a favour” by sending driver Kosic to pick him up.

The trial is due to continue on January 31 this year.
