Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina Archives

The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has rendered decisions rejecting appeals filed by Ibrahim Demirovic, who was sentenced to 13 years, and Habib Copelj, who was sentenced to five years in prison for crimes against Serb civilians in the Mostar area in 1993.

Former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Boro Milojica was found guilty of multiple murders of Bosniak civilians in the village of Hambarine in the Prijedor area in July 1992.

The Bosnian state prosecution has requested a one-month custody remand for Jahja Vukovic, who is suspected of having organised a terrorist group.

The Bosnian state prosecution filed a custody motion asking for a 30-day custody remand for Jahja Vukovic, who is suspected of terrorism and going to fight in Syria, because he might abscond.

The Bosnian state court has asked Serbia to take over the prosecution of wartime Bosnian Serb soldier Novak Stjepanovic, who is accused of rape, sexual abuse and the killing of civilians in the Bratunac area in 1992.

A witness told the trial of Emir Alisic, who is accused of going to fight for the so-called Islamic State in Syria, that he saw the defendant uniformed and armed with a explosives belt around his waist.

Former Bosnian Serb Army battalion commander Srecko Acimovic was sentenced to nine years in prison for assisting the genocide of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in July 1995.

Former Bosnian Serb reservist policeman Predrag Bastah, who is already serving a sentence for war crimes, pleaded not guilty to involvement in the killings of 37 Bosniak civilians near Vlasenica.

The prosecution in Zagreb has agreed to take over Bosnia’s case against former Croatian Defence Council general Zlatan Mijo Jelic, who is accused of wartime crimes against Bosniak civilians in Mostar in 1993-94.

After the State Prosecution called on the Court to sentence Boro Milojica and Zelislav Rivic for crimes committed in the Prijedor area and their defense teams called for an acquittal, the Appeals Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced it would hand down a second instance verdict on October 26.
