Israel to extradite alleged Bosnian war criminal

August 1, 2011

JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A Bosnian Serb with Israeli citizenship can be extradited to Bosnia to stand trial on charges of genocide, a Jerusalem court ruled. Aleksandar Cvetkovic, who is married to an Israeli woman, will be extradited to a court in Sarajevo in the next 60 days following Monday's ruling by the Jerusalem District Court, unless he appeals to Israel's Supreme Court within 30 days.

Cvetkovic, 43, is accused of involvement in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, in which 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed by Serbian troops. He was arrested in January following an extradition request from Bosnia. He is alleged to have been part of an eight-man firing squad that executed Bosnian Muslim males at the Branjevo Farm as part of the massacre.

Cvetkovic, who has lived in Israel since 2006, said he served as an army driver in Srebrenica during Bosnia's civil war between 1992 and 1995, and did not participate in the massacre.

Jeruzalemski sud je odlučio da bosanski Srbin sa izraelskim državljanstvom može biti izručen Bosni ,kako bi mu se sudilo  zbog optužbi za genocid. Aleksandar Cvetković, koji je oženjen Izraelkom, biti će izručen sudu u Sarajevu,  u periodu od 60 dana, prema odluci koju je u ponedjeljak donio "Jerusalem District court" , ukoliko se u roku 30 dana ne žali Visokom sudu.

Cvetković, star 43 godine, optužen je za učešće u masakru u Srebrenici 1995. godine, u kojem je 8.000 muslimanskih muškaraca i dječaka ubijeno od  strane srbijanskih trupa. On je uhapšen u siječnju nakon zahtjeva Bosne za ekstradikcijom. Optužen je  da je bio dio član "jedinice" koja je ubila  bosanske Muslimana na farmi Branjevo, kao dio masakra.

Cbetković, koji je živio u Izraelu od 2006, je izjavio da je služio kao vojni vozač u Srebrenici u toku Bosanskog civilnog rata između 1992. i 1995, i da nije sudjelovao u masakru.
