This month marks the 31st anniversary of one of the largest mass crimes against civilians in the village of Stupni Do, near Vares. Former senior officials of [unrecognised wartime statelet] Herzeg-Bosnia and the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, were prosecuted in The Hague for the crime, but only three former HVO members were convicted in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Former Croatian Defence Council fighter Zeljko Maric was arrested on suspicion of war crimes against captured Bosniak civilians and Bosnian Army soldiers in the Vares area in 1993. Bosnia’s State Investigation and Protection Agency arrested Zeljko Maric, alias Ninja, in the Capljina area on Thursday.

The newly-elected mayor of the Bosnian town of Vares wants to remove a multi-ethnic monument to all victims of the 1992-95 war, saying that its construction did not follow legal requirements.

The retrial of Ermin Curtic has begun at the cantonal court of Sarajevo. Curtic has been charged with crimes committed in the Vares area in 1993.

Three wives of men found guilty of wartime rape claim their lives have been turned upside down since their husbands convictions.

The Federation supreme court repealed Ermin Curtics prison sentence, and called for a retrial at the cantonal court of Sarajevo.

The defense of Ermin Curtic asked Bosnias supreme court to acquit Curtic of charges of war crimes in Vares. The state prosecution asked the court to confirm the first instance verdict against Curtic, which sentenced him to five and a half years in prison.

The appellate chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina reduced Mirsad Sijaks unified sentence of two war crimes by two months.

The Appellate Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, sentences Muhidin Basic and Mirsad Sijak to seven years in prison each for having raped one person in Vares.
