Interpol issues red notice for Zoran Adamović, charged with war crimes in Ključ

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, February 6 (FENA) - Interpol has issued a red notice calling for the arrest of, a former Bosnian Serb Army serviceman who is charged with committing crimes against humanity in the Ključ area in 1992.

Zoran Adamović, a 55-year-old citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, is wanted by the Sarajevo authorities for crimes against humanity, according to the ‘red notice’ published on the Interpol website requesting his arrest, BIRN reports.

Adamović was indicted last year in Sarajevo for involvement in the persecution of Bosniaks and Croat civilians in the Ključ area while he was a soldier with the Bosnian Serb Army during the war.

He is accused of participating in murders, forced disappearances and other inhumane acts.

“The indictment alleges that, in the summer of 1992 the defendant, who acted in collaboration with other Bosnian Serb Army members, participated in the murder of four Bosniak civilians in the village of Gornji Kamičak, participated in the forcible disappearance of one Bosniak civilian from the village of Krasulje, as well as the unlawful arrest, abuse and wounding of one person from a group of Bosniak civilians in the village of Donji Kamičak,” the state prosecution said in a statement when the indictment was raised.

More than ten people who the Bosnian judiciary has charged with or sentenced for war crimes are currently at large in Serbia. Belgrade does not have an extradition agreement with Sarajevo.

One of the most high-profile fugitives is former Bosnian Serb general Novak Đukić, who was convicted of ordering an artillery squad to shell the city of Tuzla in May 1995, killing more than 70 people.

A few days after the Bosnian state court sentenced Đukić to 20 years in jail in June 2014, his lawyer said he was having medical treatment in Serbia.

A warrant for Đukić’s arrest was issued in October 2014, and after that, Bosnia asked Serbia to take over the enforcement of the verdict on the basis of a legal protocol between the two countries.

But since then, the Higher Court in Belgrade has repeatedly postponed hearings at which the takeover of Đukić’s sentence was due to be discussed.
