26 February 2010 The State Court orders two-month custody extension for four people suspected of crimes committed in Konjic, Drvar and Srebrenica.
Under the Court's decision, Zulfikar Alispago, former Commander of the "Zulfikar" Unit with the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who is suspected of participation in crimes against Bosnian Croats in Trusina village, Konjic municipality, may stay in custody until April 25, 2010.
Alispago was arrested on February 1, 2010 on suspicion that he failed to undertake "necessary and reasonable measures" to punish members of his unit, who conducted an attack on Trusina village on April 16, 1993, when 19 civilians and three members of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, were killed.
The Court also extended custody of Ratko Dronjak, former Commander of "Kamenica" detention camp, near Drvar, and Dragan Rodic, a former guard in the same detention camp, who are suspected of crimes against members of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatian Defence Council, HVO, who were held in detention from 1992 to 1995.
Dronjak and Rodic have been held in custody since January this year.
Nedjo Ikonic, suspected of genocide committed in Srebrenica in July 1995, when he was Commander of a police unit with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, in the protected zone, will spend two more months in custody.
US authorities extradited Ikonic to Bosnia and Herzegovina in January this year, after he had been sentenced, by a Federal Court, to one year in prison for giving false data to immigration authorities.
