Oric

According to the Sarajevo paper, the Appellate Chamber of the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina acquitted Oric in the renewed proceedings of all charges raised by the Prosecutor's Office of BiH, which charged him with war crimes committed against Serbs, prisoners of war, in the Srebrenica area in July 1992.

Former Srebrenica commander Oric went on trial in Sarajevo for war crimes, accused of being responsible for killing three Serbs in 1992 - a case which has angered the country’s Bosniaks.

Wartime commander of Muslim forces in Srebrenica Naser Oric will not attend commemorations on the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica crime.

The committee organising the 20th anniversary commemoration of the 1995 massacres said on Tuesday that it will postpone the planned July 11 ceremony until Oric, the wartime Bosnian Army commander in Srebrenica, is released from detention in Switzerland.

Nikolic's first official visit to Sarajevo, which was scheduled for Tuesday, was cancelled after the Bosniak member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, Bakir Izetbegovic, asked for it to be postponed following last week's arrest of Oric, the former Bosniak commander in Srebrenica.

Oric, the commander of Bosniak forces in Srebrenica, was arrested at Bern airport in Switzerland on suspicion of committing war crimes against Serbs in the eastern Bosnian town in 1992.
