Fifth Corps

The United States is increasing its military presence in Europe and moving to Poland the headquarters of an army corps, key to US military cooperation with the continent.

This was announced by US President Joe Biden in a statement together with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at the beginning of the alliance's summit in Madrid.

While leading the breakaway statelet, Abdic fought against fellow Bosniaks who were loyal to the Sarajevo government. He was later convicted of war crimes, but was elected mayor of Velika Kladusa in 2016 after his release.

The trial of Atif Dudakovic opened on Monday at the Bosnian state court, with the former commander and 16 Bosnian Army soldiers accused of participating in a joint criminal enterprise aimed at removing the Serb population from the Bosanski Petrovac, Kljuc, Bosanska Krupa and Sanski Most areas during the Bosnian war.

The Sarajevo Canton assembly condemned the arrest of 1990s general Atif Dudakovic and other members of the Fifth Corps of the Bosnian Army on suspicion of war crimes.

Atif Dudakovic, former commander of the Fifth Corps of the Bosnian Army, was arrested on suspicion of war crimes against Serbs and Bosniaks in 1994 and 1995.
