ICTY Orders Zuhdija Tabakovic Into Custody
21 December 2009 Zuhdija Tabakovic, a former policeman from Visegrad, who is charged before the Tribunal with contempt of court, has been transferred to The Hague and has been ordered into custody.
The custody decision notes that on December 18 Tabakovic was transferred to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, at The Hague. Tabakovic will make his first appearance before the Tribunal on December 22 this year.
The indictment against Tabakovic was filed with the Hague Tribunal on October 30 this year. It was confirmed on November 17. Its content has still not been made public.
Available data suggests that Tabakovic is charged with contempt of court in connection with the trial of Milan and Sredoje Lukic.
In July 2009 the Hague Tribunal pronounced a first-instance verdict, sentencing Milan Lukic to life imprisonment and Sredoje Lukic to 30 years in prison for crimes committed in the Visegrad area.
The Defence of Milan and Sredoje Lukic presented first-instance verdict appeals. The case is currently before the Appellate Chamber of the ICTY.
In November this year the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina ordered a number of prohibiting measures against Tabakovic, including, among others, a ban on leaving his place of residence or traveling outside of Sarajevo Canton and an obligation to report regularly to the police station. Under this decision, his personal identification and travel documents were temporarily confiscated. However, on December 15 this year the Court rendered a decision canceling the prohibiting measures.

Po saznanju mnogih višegrađana koji su kontaktirali sa Zuhdijom Tabakovićem i dr. glasno i argumentovano su izjavili da je Bošnjak iz Višegrada sasvim druga osoba bila posrednik između odbrane Milana i Sredoja Lukića sa Tabaković Zuhdijom i dr Takođe raspolažemo izjavama da je ista osoba koja je posredovala sa žrtvama i svjeodocima u drugim predmetima ratnih zločina na Sudu BiH vršili pritisak i podmićivanje istih kako bi svjedočili u korist pojedinih ratnih zločinaca, a posrednik je bio muškarac i žena iz Višegrada. Ali zbog otkrivanaj identiteta iste ćemo 23.12.2009. godine proslijediti Sudu i TUžilaštvu BiH kao i MKSJ jer smo do izjava koje su dobrovoljo date Udruženu uzeli preija par dana.
