The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the indictment against him on June 29 this year.

According to the charges, Marjanovic, who was accompanied by a few other members of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, unlawfully arrested a Bosniak family in Marina Homora, Rogatica municipality on June 19, 1992. They allegedly transported the family members to Borike village and separated them.

The indictment alleges that unknown VRS soldiers drove the mother and her four minor children to “Veljko Vlahovic” school building in Rogatica, where they unlawfully detained them. They took the father in an unknown direction. He has been missing since.

By law, the trial of Marjanovic is due to begin within the next 60 days, or 90 days in an extraordinary situation.
