Brutal attacks by warlord Arkan’s Serb paramilitaries on unarmed civilians living in the city of Bijeljina, captured in photographs that shocked the world, signalled the start of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina 30 years ago.
Fifteen years after a criminal complaint was filed against five people accused of shelling the city of Tuzla between 1992 and 1995, the Bosnian state prosecution decided not to pursue the investigation.
