27 August 2010  

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued a decision ordering Dragan Neskovic, suspected of committting genocide in Srebrenica, into one-month custody.

 

Pursuant to this Decision his custody may last until 25 September 2010.

Prosecutors said that Neskovic might disturb any criminal proceedings and influence witnesses and accomplices if he remains at liberty. 
 
Neskovic is suspected of having participated as a member of the Jahorina Training Center in capturing several hundred men and escorting them to the Kravica Agricultural Cooperative in the Bratunac municipality where they were executed.    
 
“Two protected witnesses said that Dragan Neskovic ordered them to kill two Bosniak prisoners, also adding he was a superior officer in their unit. Statements given by other protected witnesses indicate that he was present at the murder scene in Kravica,” prosecutor Ibro Bulic said, adding the investigation would be completed in one month. 
 
Neskovic’s lawyer objected, saying there was no evidence supporting the allegations that Neskovic committed the crime.
 
“The prosecutor calls on the statement given by witness S 115 who was examined as a suspect. The grounded suspicion cannot be based on his statement. During the course of his examination by the prosecutor, witness S 104 said he was not sure whether he would be able to recognise Neskovic,” said defence attorney Vesna Tupajic-Skiljevic.
 
Neskovic was arrested in the Bijeljina area on August 25. 
 
The trial of Dusko Jevic, Mendeljev Djuric, Goran Markovic and Nedjo Ikonic, four former members of Jahorina Training Center, is underway before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
