ICTY UNSEALS INDICTMENT AGAINST DRAGOMIR MILOSEVIC

ZAGREB/THE HAGUE, Nov 9 (Hina) - The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on Friday disclosed the indictment against Dragomir Milosevic, a former chief-of-staff of the Sarajevo Romanija Corps who is accused for the siege of Sarajevo together with Gen. Stanislav Galic. Milosevic is charged on both individual and command responsibility with crimes against humanity, and violations of the laws and customs of war the Sarajevo Romanija Corps committed against the residents of the Bosnian capital in 1994-5. Milosevic was the chief-of-staff of the Sarajevo Romanija Corps, replacing Galic as commander in August 1994. The previously sealed indictment states the Sarajevo Romanija Corps for 44 full months implemented a military strategy which included shelling and the sniping of civilians, all in view of terrorising Sarajevo's civilians. Thousands of the capital's residents, including children and the elderly, were killed as a result. The Sarajevo Romanija Corps shelled and attacked civilians who were waiting in lines for bread and water, grew vegetables in their gardens, went to funerals, collected wood for the winter, or simply walked down Sarajevo's streets, the indictment states. Gen. Galic has been in ICTY custody since Dec. 21, 1999. Milosevic is still at large. (hina) ha
