Dragoslav Lukic was arrested on an Interpol warrant at the Raca border
crossing between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia-Montenegro, the
newspaper quoted the head of the Belgrade-based Veritas Documentation
and Information Centre, Savo Strbac, as saying.
Lukic, who is now in custody in Sarajevo, had lived in the village of
Gornji Meljani in the Western Slavonia region in Croatia before the
war started in the early 1990s, after which he fled to Sid, western
Serbia.
Strbac said that Lukic was the 18th person to be arrested from a list
of more than 500 persons sought by Croatian judicial authorities on
war crimes charges.
Lukic was the first person to be arrested at a border crossing between
the Serb entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia-Montenegro.
