Bosnia: 3 Serbs convicted to total of 32 years in jail
The Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina has sentenced three Serbs to a total of 32 years in prison for war crimes committed against Bosniaks (Muslims) in Sanski Most.
Mike: He went on trial in Sarajevo for war crimes in January 2016. The court was not going to re-try him for other offences of which he was eventually previously acquitted in the Hague under the double jeopardy principle.
Ned Taylor,
If this is true what you say, why has Nasar Oric not been arrested and tried in that court system. He is responsible for the deaths of more than a thousand Serbs killed in the breakup of Yugoslavia. Some justice system you claim it to be.
Mike: The American legal system and who is prosecuted in accordance with it are matters for the US courts. Bosnia has a legal code and applies it across the board to its own citizens or those committing offences on its territory. The Chief Prosecutor in Sarajevo is hardly likely to drop charges against a person, or fail to bring them, simply because someone several thousands miles away and outside their jurisdiction hasn't been charged themselves.
