SARAJEVO, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- The international police organization Interpol has issued an international warrant on Monday for Zoran Stupar, Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH's) citizen charged of crimes against humanity.
On Interpol's official website, it is stated that 54-year-old Stupar is wanted by authorities of BiH over charges of crimes against humanity he conducted during BiH war.
Court of BiH has in mid-November 2018 confirmed an indictment against Stupar, Bosnian Serb and the former member of Vlasenica Public Security Station (SJB) during the country's 1992-1995 war. The warrant was issued after Stupar failed to respond to calls from the country's court.
The indictment read that Stupar et al. are accused of having "personally and directly" participated in attacks on villages and other places in the Vlasenica municipality, located 90 kilometers northeast of the capital Sarajevo, inhabited by Bosniaks-Muslim population, from April to September 1992.
"During attacks, they are accused of involvement in the murders of at least 16 Bosniaks, persecution of several dozen civilians, including minors, detaining people at the 'Susica detention camp' and the police Public Security Station in Vlasenica, and robbing Bosniak houses and setting them on fire," the indictment said.
An ethnically rooted war that took place from 1992 to 1995 in BiH was fought between Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs.
