September 16, 2013 “Bosnian Serb Policemen’s Srebrenica Acquittal Challenged” Justice Report, BIRN “We ask that the acquittal be quashed and the case sent for retrial, where new evidence would be presented, which would establish the state of facts completely and find Neskovic and Ilic guilty,” the Bosnian state prosecutor, Predrag Tomic, said on Friday. The men, who both served with the Bosnian Serb special police brigade’s Jahorina Training Centre, were found not guilty in October last year of capturing Bosniaks from Srebrenica in July 1995 and transporting them to an agricultural cooperative in Kravica near the town of Bratunac, where around 1,000 of them were murdered. He said that it was impossible that Neskovic and Ilic were not aware of the wide-ranging and systematic Bosnian Serb assault on the UN ‘safe zone’ of Srebrenica, and that their actions were a part of the attack plan. balkaninsight/en/article/prosecution-appeals-to-neskovic-and-ilic-verdict
