Charges will be brought over war crimes committed in Sarajevo against, among others, Commander Vahid Karavelic, writes the Banja Luka daily. "Sarajevo to charge Bosnian Army members with war crimes" Quoting sources close to the prosecution, the daily states that investigations against Karavelic are nearing their end, and that the charges will be complete after the remaining few witnesses have been questioned. The daily adds that these would be the first charges brought by the Bosnia-Herzegovina Prosecutor’s Office against Bosnian officers for war crimes committed in Sarajevo Meanwhile, Radovan Pejic, member of the the Republic of Srpska Interior Ministry’s team for investigation and documentation of war crimes has said that he expects charges of war crimes committed against Sarajevo Serbs to be brought against a number of high-ranking officials of the former Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina in the course of the year. “Based on witness statements and other material evidence, we’ve created a file about where and how 3,299 Serb civilians in Sarajevo were killed,” said Pejic. His team has found evidence of 126 camps active during the war in Sarajevo, where around 3000 Serb civilians lost their lives. Pejic reiterated that, until now, the Prosecutor’s Office had received 217 reports of war crimes committed against Serbs from 1992 to 1995 in the part of Sarajevo under Muslim control. “15 individuals are suspected of war crimes in Dobrovoljacka Street, 13 persons of killing the ‘Transporter’ group, and 39 persons for war crimes committed in Hrasnica,” he said. He added that 41 individuals were responsible for crimes in the Central prison, while 38 were suspected of involvement in crimes in the former Viktor Bubanj barracks. The team also received reports on war crimes committed against Serbs who were imprisoned in the Silos camp in Tarcin. 600 Serbs passed through that camp, which was under Muslim control and continued to work for 2 months after the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords. Before the war, 168,000 Serbs lived in Sarajevo, while today they make up only 2 percent of the population.
