Boskoski is charged with war crimes committed in Macedonia in the summer of 2001 during fighting against Albanian insurgents.
Boskoski, 44, who served as Macedonian minister of the interior from May 2001 to November 2002, is charged on the basis of command responsibility for an attack by Macedonian police and military forces on the village of Ljuboten near Skopje, which left seven Albanian civilians killed. About 100 Albanian civilians were detained, beaten and ill-treated, and about 30 houses and business establishments were burnt.
Boskoski was jointly indicted with Johan Tarculovski, 30, a police officer who coordinated and commanded the attack on Ljuboten.
They are both charged with three counts of murder, wanton destruction of civilian property and cruel treatment, which all qualify as violations of the laws and customs of war.
The indictment says that Boskoski and Tarculovski were involved in a joint criminal enterprise the object of which was an unlawful attack on civilians and civilian objects in the village of Ljuboten.
Boskoski, who has dual Macedonian and Croatian citizenship, has been in the custody of the County Court in the northern Croatian Adriatic town of Pula since August 2004 on charges of responsibility for the murder of seven migrant workers from Pakistan and India in Macedonia in 2002 while he was interior minister.
The Croatian Ministry of Justice received the indictment against Boskoski from the ICTY later on Tuesday and said that it would send it to the Pula court on Wednesday for further consideration.
"We have received the indictment and it will be forwarded to the Pula County Court tomorrow morning," Justice Ministry spokeswoman Vesna Dovranic told Hina.
One of Boskoski's lawyers, Zvonimir Hodak from Zagreb, has announced that the defence will use all legal means available to prevent their client being extradited to The Hague and to refute the indictment.
