The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has sentenced Bosnian Serbs Momir Tasic to 14 years in prison and Petar Tasic to ten years for crimes committed in the town of Visegrad in eastern Bosnia in 1992 – while it acquitted Mirko Tasic.

The Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals, MICT has agreed to remove three judges from the appellate procedure in the case of the former Bosnian Serb Army commander Ratko Mladic.

In its closing statement, the prosecution urged the Bosnian state court to convict former soldier Vuk Ratkovic of torturing, abusing and raping a Serb woman in Visegrad during wartime.

Denial of the Srebrenica genocide must end, unprosecuted perpetrators must be tried and schoolchildren must be taught the truth about the massacres in July 1995, says Dunja Mijatovic, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights.

As the anniversary of Srebrenica approaches, Bosnian journalists recall how the shocking scale of the atrocities slowly became clear in July 1995 as information trickled out and the first eyewitnesses to the massacres spoke to reporters.

Bosnian Serb ex-fighter Milorad Obradovic was indicted for alleged participation in the murders of Bosniak civilians in the village of Miska Glava near Prijedor in 1992. The Bosnian state prosecution on Thursday charged Milorad Obradovic, alias Stiven, with participating in a widespread and systematic attack on the Bosniak civilian population in the Prijedor area in July 1992, as well as the capture of around 120 Bosniak civilians in the village of Miska Glava, in collaboration with others.

The UN secretary-general did not reappoint Hague court judge Aydin Sefa Akay under pressure from Ankara after he was convicted of belonging to a ‘terrorist organisation’ alleged to have staged a coup attempt in Turkey.

Former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Sladjan Pajic was arrested on suspicion that he committed multiple rapes and mistreated detained Bosniak civilians in Vlasenica in 1992. State Investigation and Protection Agency police officers arrested ex-soldier Sladjan Pajic on Tuesday on suspicion that he committed war crimes against the civilian population in Vlasenica from May 1992 to the end of that year, the Bosnian state prosecution said.

Bosnian government institutions and public companies spent around 4.5 million euros on purchasing vehicles in the first six months of 2018, BIRN’s new database shows.

The UN court rejected a request from former Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic’s defence to have three judges removed from his appeal against conviction because of their rulings in Srebrenica genocide trials.
