SARAJEVO, Bosnia (May 13,2008) - The Bosnian State Court asked the British authorities yesterday to sanction the convicted Serbian war criminal Radislav Krstic for refusing to testify in a case presently before the court.
Serbian war criminal Radoslav Krstic was convicted of war crimes and is serving his sentence in a British prison.The type of sanction imposed is at the discretion of the country in which a prisoner is serving a sentence.
Serbian war criminal Radoslav Krstic, 60, was sentenced to 35 years imprisonment by The Hague- based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for war crimes committed against Bosnian civilians during the 1992-1995 Serbian aggression against Bosnia.
He was supposed to testify via video-link in the case of Serbian war criminal Milos Stupar and a group of Serbian war criminals charged with war crimes against Bosnian civilians in Srebrenica in July 1995.
Under Bosnia's legislation, the court said: "The persons who are summoned to testify in the proceedings conducted before the Court of Bosnia must attend to the court summons."
Last month, the Bosnian State Court demanded similar measures from the Norwegian authorities for another two convicted Serbian war criminals, who also refused to testify in the same case.
