Justice report

Klickovic et al: Ostojic released from custody

25 July 2008  A war crime indictee charged with crimes committed in Bosanska Krupa, has been released on bail, after more than KM 300,000 was paid as security and certain prohibiting measures were ordered.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina terminated the custody of Jovan Ostojic, who is charged with war crimes in Bosanska Krupa in the course of 1992.

The custody was terminated after the State Court accepted the bail of KM 371,690 and two apartments owned by his brother, all offered by the Defence. The Court ordered certain prohibitive measures, including the confiscation of travel and other personal documents, a ban on leaving his place of residence and an obligation to report to the police station in Obilicevo, Banja Luka.

The indictment alleges that Ostojic, former commander of the 11th Krupa Light Infantry Brigade with the former Serbian Republic Army, and Marceta, chief of Staffs, met, in the Brigade Staffs premises, senior officer Jojo Plavanjac, who killed 11 Bosniak prisoners in the Petar Kocic school in Bosanska Krupa in August 1992.

The indictment further alleges that Ostojic did not take any actions in order to sanction Jojo Plavanjac.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Ostojic, Gojko Klickovic and Mladen Drljaca with having held civilians, detained in the Petar Kocic school building, "without adequate food and hygienic conditions," while some guards raped female prisoners in the period from May to August 1992.

Klickovic and Drljaca are still in custody, despite the fact that the second indictee's Defence filed a custody termination motion at the least hearing, asking for prohibitive measures to be ordered against him instead. On July 22 this request was refused.
