Trusina killings

The Constitutional Court on Tuesday rejected Nihad Bojadzic's appeal against verdicts under which he was sentenced to a total of 15 years in prison for crimes committed in 1993 during the war in Jablanica and in the village of Trusina, near Konjic.

The Constitutional Court described Bojadzic's appeal as "unfounded".

The trial of Zulfikar Alispago, former commander of the Bosnian Army’s ‘Zulfikar Squad’, accused of responsibility for civilian deaths during a 1993 attack on the village of Trusina, resumed after doctors deemed him fit to attend.

Bosnians gathered in the villages of Ahmici and Trusina to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the war crimes committed there against Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats.

Former Bosnian Army soldier Jasmin Coloman was sentenced to three years in prison for his involvement in the murder of detained Croat civilians in the Vitez area in 1993.

A witness said his own investigation showed that Nihad Bojadzic, former deputy commander of the Bosnian Army’s Zulfikar Squad, wasn’t near Trusina when more than 20 Bosnian Croats were killed.

Four former soldiers were charged with killing two children, an elderly woman and three other Bosniak civilians in the village of Medosevici in the Cajnice municipality in 1992.
