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.
‘Dangerous Names’, a play about the 1995 genocide whose leading roles are played by a Srebrenica survivor and a former Dutch peacekeeping soldier, was given its Bosnian premiere in Sarajevo.
The wartime commander of the Drina Corps, Milenko Zivanovic, will go on trial next month in Serbia for forcing Bosniak civilians out of Srebrenica during the Bosnian Serb Army’s offensive in July 1995.
Human rights activist Aida Corovic went on trial on charges of disturbing public order after she threw eggs at a mural celebrating Bosnian Serb war criminal Ratko Mladic in the Serbian capital Belgrade.
Bosnian Serb Army veterans installed a new plaque in Sarajevo that honours their former military commander Ratko Mladic, defying legislation that prohibits the honouring of war criminals.
