Oric

BELGRADE - Serbia will have to fight for justice on its own, President Aleksandar Vucic said following the acquittal of Naser Oric, the wartime commander of Srebrenica, urging for refraining from harsh words.

In his first interview after being acquitted of killing three Serb captives during wartime, the former Bosniak commander in Srebrenica, Naser Oric, said he was a “knight” on the battlefield.

The Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina has said that the pressure on the institution over the Naser Oric trial was "completely unacceptable and must stop immediately."

In addition, a statement expressed concern about "the atmosphere created in the public in recent days, which is trying to politicize the institution and degrade the work of its judges."

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.

Former Bosnian Army commander Naser Oric has denied charges of committing war crimes in the Srebrenica region, so the case will now go to trial.

The Bosnian state court has prolonged measures limiting the movements of Naser Oric but has allowed him free movement in the country’s Federation entity.

Former Bosnian Army general Naser Oric arrived in the Bosnian capital after being extradited from Switzerland, where he was being held on a Serbian war crimes warrant.

Former Bosnian Army general Naser Oric will to be extradited from Switzerland to Bosnia and Herzegovina, where he is under investigation for war crimes, despite Belgrade’s plea for him to be sent to Serbia.

Head of the Researh Center of War, War Crimes and Tracing Missing Persons, Milorad Kojic, expects that the former commander of the Bosnian Army units in Srebrenica, Naser Oric, will be extradited to Serbia in order to initiate the trial process and announce the verdict.
