The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court in Sarajevo on Friday acquitted former reservist policeman Slavko Milovanovic of committing a crime against humanity in the village of Resagici near Srebrenica in May 1992.

Demonstrators rallied in Tuzla in Bosnia after a book was published in Serbia denying that Bosnian Serb forces were responsible for the Tuzla Gate massacre which killed 71 people in the town in 1995. Scores of people joined a rally in Tuzla on Wednesday to protest about the recent publication in Serbia of the book ‘Tuzla Gate – A Stage-Managed Tragedy’, which claims that Bosnian Serb forces did not shell the town and kill 71 people on May 25, 1995.

Police in Trebinje in Bosnia’s Serb-dominated entity Republika Srpska filed a criminal complaint against two wartime Bosniak military commanders, accusing them of persecuting Serbs and Croats during wartime.

The Bosnian prosecution said former reservist policeman Mico Jurisic, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for committing crimes against humanity against non-Serb civilians in the Prijedor area in 1992, deserved a tougher punishment.

The UN court has extended Jovica Stanisic’s provisional release from custody in The Hague until April 2020 because the former Serbian Security Service chief, who is on trial for war crimes in Bosnia and Croatia, remains ill.

Salafist preachers, or Da’is, are harnessing the power of social media to increase their influence in Bosnia, dialing down their rhetoric but still challenging fundamental rights.

The Bosnian court rejected wartime fighter Sasa Cvetkovic’s appeal against his conviction for the murder of two elderly Roma women and the rape of two Bosniaks in the Srebrenica and Bratunac areas in 1992. The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court on Wednesday confirmed the verdict sentencing Sasa Cvetkovic to 12 years in prison for killing two elderly Roma women in May 1992 and raping two Bosniaks, one of them a minor, in June 1992.

The Bosnian prosecution appealed against the verdict acquitting former policemen Jadranko Saran, Samir Sabic and Zijad Kadic of war crimes against civilians and prisoners of war in Bosanska Krupa in 1995 and 1996. The Bosnian prosecution on Tuesday appealed against the first-instance verdict acquitting former policemen Jadranko Saran, Samir Sabic and Zijad Kadic of unlawfully detaining civilians, as well as murder and inhumane treatment at several detention facilities in Bosanska Krupa between September 1995 and July 1996.

The Bosnian prosecution called for a retrial in the case of former Bosnian Serb soldier Boro Milojica, who was convicted of killings in the Prijedor area in 1992, and another ex-soldier who was acquitted.

Former reservist policeman Slavko Milovanovic is being retried for alleged crimes against humanity after initially being acquitted of ordering the burning of Bosniaks’ homes in an attack on a village near Srebrenica in May 1992. The Bosnian state court’s appeals chamber on Thursday began the retrial of Slavko Milovanovic, a former member of the reservist police force at the Public Security Station in the village of Skelani in the Srebrenica municipality, for alleged crimes against humanity.
