BOSNIAN CROATS SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION TO HAGUE TRIBUNAL

MOSTAR, May 10 (Hina) - Priority in collecting documentation on war crimes against Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina should be given to the documentation on crimes committed by the Bosnian army troops against Croat civilians in the villages of Cajdras, Buhine Kuce and Krizancevo Selo, a Herzeg-Bosnian presidential council's statement said today. The statement also claimed that the clashes in central Bosnia had intensified and grown into a war after a slaughter, burning and looting of houses and expelling of the Croat civilians had been committed by the Bosnian army soldiers in the village of Cajdras near Zenica, and after a Zenica Croatian Defence Council (HVO) brigade was disarmed and imprisoned in prison camps in Zenica. The presidential council stressed that one of the most severe crimes had been committed on December 22nd 1993, when the Bosnian army 3rd Corps deputy commander Dzemo Merdan had ordered the execution of more than 100 residents of the villages of Buhine Kuce and Krizancevo Selo. Herzeg-Bosnian authorities sent to Hague Tribunal on April 20th a part of the documentation on crimes committed against Croats in the Konjic area. The documentation contained list executors as well as of those who issued orders for the executions. (hina) mm rm mms 102035 MET may 95
