Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina -
Bosnia's war crimes court has confirmed a genocide indictment against a Serb lawmaker over the executions of Srebrenica Muslims during the country's 1992-95 war.
Dragomir Vasic, a lawmaker in the parliament of Republika Srpska - one of Bosnia's two independent administrative parts - is accused of participating in the forcible removal of Srebrenica civilians, the separation of men and boys from their families, and their execution, the court said on Thursday.
More than 8 000 Muslim Bosniac men and boys were killed in just a few days after Srebrenica - a UN-declared “safe area” - was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995.
At the time, Vasic was police chief in Zvornik, near Srebrenica. - Sapa-AP
