Sijekovac

SARAJEVO - The remains of several people, believed to be Serbs killed in 1992, have been found in the Bosnian municipality of Brod in north-eastern Republika Srpska, the prosecutor's office of Bosnia and Herzegovina said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina jailed Zemir Kovacevic for ten years for his role in the murder, mistreatment and robbery of Serb civilians in the Sijekovac area in March-April 1992.

Former Croatian Defence Forces fighter Zemir Kovacevic is not guilty of killings, looting and the illegal detention of Serb civilians in the village of Sijekovac in 1992, his defence said.

In its closing arguments at the trial for crimes committed in Bosanski Brod, the prosecution said Zemir Kovacevic should be found guilty of killing, looting and the illegally arrest of Bosnian Serb civilians in 1992.
