Letter to representative of Hague Tribunal (ICTY)

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

I trust and believe that the enclosed documentation will help you understand the roots of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It will provide information of the first instances of the ethnic cleansing, genocide and acts against humanity as well as of the first camps established in that troubled land. The winds of war and the speed of subsequent developments have cast a long pall of oblivion over these tragic events, but the victims and justice demand that these facts see the light of the day. For your convenience, given below is a brief account of the events that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the very beginning of the war: 1 . 26 March 1992, massacre and ethnic cleansing in the village of Sijekovac, Municipality of Bosanski Brod;

2.  4 April 1992, massacre on the Kupres mountain, Western Bosnia;

3.  10 April 1992, invasion of Herzegovina by the Croatian military, and

4. 

12 April 1992, formation of the first military units of the Army of the Republic of Srpska. It is pointed out that Croatia made a deliberate effort to spill over the ongoing civil war in Croatia into Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that all the atrocities were committed by the Croatian military, with that aim in mind. Thanks for your attention, Darko Trifunovich

19. Milicic Slobodanka

, daughter of father Nedjo and mother Mara, other information unknown. The suspects are under reasonable suspicion to have committed the criminal act of war crime and the first ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Herzegovina that took plaec on 26 March in Sijekovac small village near city of Bosanski Brod (North Bosnia). They are charged of having killed the civilians, looted the valuables from their homes, setting them on fire or dynamiting them. In discharging the duties of chairmen of the self-styled ‘Crisis Committee’ of Bosanski Brod, Mr. Ivan Brzic and Mr. Armin Pohara helped arm and set up Muslim and Croatian paramilitary units in the territory of the municipality of Bosanski Brod. On 26 March 1992 the two of them planned and commanded a raid against the civilian population of Serb nationality in the village of Sijekovac, the municipality of Bosanski Brod, and for that purpose they invited the suspects Mr. Ante Prkacin and Mr. Rade Obradovic who come over, heading a large group of the HOS members and the regular Army of the Republic of Croatia from Slavonski Brod, city just over the river Sava from Bosanski Brod. The same day the said formation arrived in Sijekovac at about 4 p.m. and in coordination with the paramilitary Ustasha-Muslim unit of the so-called ‘Intervention Sqyad if Bosanski Brod’ which included also the other suspects, set siege to the village and opened fire at the houses of the villagers of Serb nationality from all weapons, They presented the Serbs hidden in the basements of  the houses of the families of Zecevic and Bacic, who unlike all others had not managed to leave the village, an ultimatum at about 4:30 p.m. requsting them to hand over the arms they allegedly possessed and to leave the basements. Following the orders, women Stojanka Opacic, Marica Radanovic, Nedeljka Vasic, Miladinka Milosevic, Milka Zecevic, Ljubica Zecevic and Jelica Zecevic, children Marinka Opacic, Dragan Milosevic, Sasa Milosevic, Zeljko Milosevic, Goran Zecevic and men Vid Radanovic, Jovo Zecevic, Milan Zecevic, Vaso Zecevic, Petar Zecevic, Luka Milosevic and Sreto Milosevic left the basement of the house of the Zecevic family. The suspects ordered them to lie down, kicking them and beating them with riffle butts, threatening to rape the women and to kill all men and children cursing their Chetnik mothers. On that occasion, following the physical maltreatment, the suspects fired a number of riffle bursts and individual shots into, and killed Milan Zecevic, Vaso Zecevic, Petar Zecevic, Mirko Radanovic, Luka Milosevic and children Dragan Milosevic and Zeljko Milosevic. The suspect Mr. Zemir Kovacevic kicked Jovo Zecevic in his backside as he was leaving his courtyard at Kovacevic’s orders so that Jovo Zecevic fell on the asphalt on the street whereupon suspect Kovacevic pulled out a pistol and killed Jovo Zecevic from pint blank range. It is pointed out that the victims offered neither verbal nor physical resistance so that the killings were committed while they were lying on the ground face down. Following this massacre, the suspect killed Sreto Trifunovic in his room, and looted Serb houses in Sijekovac, setting fire to almost all of them (some 50 houses). The few survivors, men, women and children alike, were led to the building of the elementary school in Sijekovac, where they were imprisoned and detained illegally in inadequate rooms, and maltreated and threatened with slaughter. A few days later Jovo Zivkovic's son Branislav, witness to part of this massacre, and an undertaker from Derventa found the bodies of Branislav's three brothers Vaso, Petar and Milan Zecevic on a meadow in Bosanski Brod between the Hospital Center and Electrical Power Station and brought them to Prnjavor where the Investigating Judge Sava Misic and the Forensic Analyst Dr. Mirko Prodanovic carried an investigation and examined the corpses on 30 March 1992. It has been established that the corpse of Sreto Trifunovic was buried in the 41- courtyard of the house of Jefto Pjanic at Sijekovac, while the burial place of others is unknown. Complete documentation is available for each individual suspect and relevant witness depositions are registered under numbers 298-001, 298-002, 298-003, 298- 01 I and 28/189. During these raids all Serb sacral establishments were looted and demolished and the relevant documentation is kept by the War Crimes Expert Commission of the Republic of Srpska. Also available are the copies of the orders issued by the Croatian Ministry of Defence to its military to invade Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is important to note that all document’s which contain more than 6000 pages about Croatian aggression on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina supported with local Muslim is given to International ad hoc Tribunal for former Yugoslavia. Until today there is no respond from ICTY, and nobody are accused for the first crimes committed in Bosnia. Showing the fact who start the War in Bosnia many things will be different and today we can conclude why USA, Germany and other Western countries covered true.
