He was accompanied to the Netherlands by Serbia's Administration Minister Zoran Loncar and Republika Srpska Interior Minister Darko Matijasevic.
The indictment, confirmed in September 2002, charges the 45-year-old Borovcanin with six counts of genocide, extermination, murder, persecution and forcible displacement of the Muslim population of Srebrenica, at the time a UN safe haven in eastern Bosnia, in July 1995.
The indictment says that Borovcanin took part in a joint criminal enterprise, the upshot of which was the killing of over 7,000 Muslim men of military age after Srebrenica's 11 July 1995 fall and the deportation of Muslim women, children and elderly.
After Ljubisa Beara, Drago Nikolic and Vinko Pandurevic, Borovcanin is the fourth of the so-called Srebrenica Five to have ended up in The Hague since December 2004. Vujadin Popovic is still at large.
In her reports, chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte has said that in terms of importance the five men are just behind the three most wanted Hague tribunal indictees -- Bosnian Serbs Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, and Ante Gotovina of Croatia.
