Višegrad massacres

An elderly Bosniak refugee who returned after the war was ordered to pay compensation to a Serb family who occupied her house in a village near Visegrad and renovated it in her absence.

Four former Bosnian Serb soldiers denied that they were responsible for the murders of six Bosniak civilians including two children as well as other crimes in eastern Bosnia in 1992.

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.

A defence witness told Ratko Mladic’s war crimes trial that the Bosnian Serb Army gave troops orders to protect civilians and prohibited the destruction of their villages.

Former Bosnian Serb reservist policemen Predrag Milisavljevic and Milos Pantelic were both sentenced to 20 years in prison for the executions of 48 Bosniak civilians from Visegrad in 1992.

An ex-officer with the Bosnian Serb Army testified at his commander Ratko Mladic’s war crimes trial that Bosniak forces deployed snipers in Sarajevo but his brigade never targeted civilians.

The Bosnian prosecution asked for an arrest warrant for former Bosnian Serb soldier Milos Zekic, who went on the run after being charged with killing four Bosniak civilians in Sekovici in 1992.

A witness said that Vitomir Rackovic, on trial for attacking Bosniak villages in the Visegrad area in 1992, was among 100 Serb troops who burned homes in his village of Kabernik.

Former Bosnian Serb police reservist Predrag Milisavljevic’s defence argued that he should be acquitted of the murders and violent persecution of Bosniak civilians from the Visegrad area in 1992.

Pera Radisic, a former serviceman with the Bosnian Serb Army, was indicted for alleged crimes against Bosniak civilians on the frontline in the Teslic area in 1992 and 1993.
