Supreme Court confirms Ovčara verdict

However, the Supreme Court reduced the sentence to two years citing Radić’s “serious illness”.

The charges brought against Bulić were separated from the main Ovčara case, and the prosecution issued a separate indictment against him.

The remaining defendants accused of executing war prisoners in Ovčara farm near Vukovar in late 1991, are undergoing trial under a joint indictment.

Milan Bulić, a former member of Vukovar’s territorial defense, was sentenced to an 8-year prison term on January 30, 2006. The charges against him included beating and abusing Croatian prisoners in Ovčara.

Presiding Judge Vesko Krstajić said at the time that no substantial evidence of Bulić’s direct involvement in the killings had been presented.

Krstajić added that the evidence served to prove Bulić battered Damjan Samardžić, one of the murdered prisoners, and established the possibility that some victims possibly died of inflicted injuries.

Bulić claimed during the proceedings to have stolen prisoners’ belongings, but never confessed to the beatings.
