The Bosnian state court will ask Interpol to issue an international alert for the arrest of Milenko Zivanovic, former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army’s Drina Corps, after he failed to appear in court to answer Srebrenica charges.
The start of the high-profile trial of Bosnian Serb Army Drina Corps commander Milenko Zivanovic, already the focus of controversy, was postponed after Bosnian prosecutors offered to transfer the case to Serbia instead of pursuing their own trial.
Milenko Zivanovic, wartime commander of the Bosnian Serb Army’s Drina Corps, was indicted in both Bosnia and Serbia, almost simultaneously, for similar crimes in Srebrenica in 1995, raising questions about the motives behind the charges.
