Police in Serbia arrested on Wednesday eight former Bosnian Serb officers suspected of involvement in war crimes against civilians in Srebrenica. The men are likely to be the first people prosecuted by Serbian authorities in relation to Srebrenica.
Seven of the men suspected of the war crime against the Bosniak civilians who were killed at a warehouse in the village of Kravica near Srebrenica were identified by the initials N.M., A.G., M.B., A.D., B.M., J.P. and D.P. The eighth, who was arrested a few hours after the others, has not been identified at all.
According to the Serbian prosecution, they are former members of the Jahorina Training Centre, a unit which belonged to the special brigade of the Bosnian Serb police.
