BiH Army ex-soldiers receive increased sentences for attack on Serbs in Rogatica

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, April 26 (FENA) - The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina increased the sentences handed down to former Bosnian Army soldiers Muhamed Šišić, Tarik Šišic and Aziz Šuša, who were convicted of involvement in the killings of 21 Serbs in the village of Kukavice in 1992.

The third-instance chamber of the Bosnian state court on Friday sentenced Muhamed Šišić to ten years in prison and Tarik Šišić and Aziz Susa to eight years each for wartime crimes in the village of Kukavice in the Rogatica municipality in August 1992.

The attack on Kukavice by Bosnian Army troops saw 21 Serb civilians killed, including two children and 39 wounded.

Prosecutor Mirza Hukeljić had argued that the second-instance verdict in October 2018, under which Muhamed Šišić was sentenced to eight years and Tarik Šišić and Aziz Šuša to five years each, was inadequate considering the seriousness of their crimes.

Muhamed Šišić was indicted as the commander of the Sabotage Detachment of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Kukavica Company, and the two others as members of the same unit.

Former soldier Emir Drakovac, who was originally indicted alongside them, has already been convicted and jailed.

The verdict cannot be appealed, BIRN reports.
