The State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed indictments against Milos Stupar, Milenko Trifunovic, Petar Mitrovic, Brane Dzinic, Aleksandar Radovanovic, Miladin Stevanovic, Velibor Maksimovic, Dragisa Zivanovic, Slobodan Jakovljevic, Branislav Medan, and Milovan Matic.
They are charged with killing more than 1,000 Muslim men as participants in a joint criminal enterprise on 13 July 1995.
The Muslims were captured after Srebrenica, a UN enclave in eastern Bosnia at the time, fell into the hands of Bosnian Serb troops. After capture, they were taken to a warehouse in Kravice near Srebrenica, where they were later killed.
All indictees are and will remain in custody until the end of the trial.
These are the first indictments referring to genocide to be confirmed by Bosnia's State Court, which was set up as part of the Hague war crimes tribunal's completion strategy, which envisages gradual referral of war crimes cases to the Bosnian judiciary.
