War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic says that he expects cooperation with the Bosnia-Herzegovina prosecution on certain cases. He mentioned, specifically, the case of the attack on Yugoslav National Army troops in Sarajevo in 1992. Prosecutor expects cooperation with Bosnian colleagues Vukcevic said that the case had been taken over from the military prosecution and that the investigative judge of that court had authorized an investigation back in 1993. He expects cooperation from the Bosnia-Herzegovina prosecution, just as it cooperated in the case of the so-called Tuzla Column. “At the end of the year, we applied for an extension of the investigation with the intention of getting to the bottom of this crime, which entered the pre-trial phase in 2006,” he said. An investigation was launched and a warrant issued for the arrests of 19 former military and political leaders of the Sarajevo administration, including former members of the wartime Bosnian Presidency Ejup Ganic and Stjepan Kljujic, for the attack on the Yugoslav National Army soldiers, who were pulling out of Sarajevo at the beginning of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina on May 2-3, 1992.
