![]() Pandurevic has been indicted for genocide, violations of the laws or customs of war and crimes against humanity. The indictment against him was secretly issued in 1998 and unsealed in 2001. During Bosnia's 1992-95 war, Pandurevic commanded the Bosnian Serb army's so-called Zvornik Brigade. The brigade answered to commander Gen. Ratko Mladic and took part in the storming of Srebrenica, a U.N.-protected Muslim enclave, in July 1995. The onslaught was followed by summary executions of Muslim males in what became Europe's worst carnage since World War II. The indictment alleges Pandurevic intended to ethnically cleanse Srebrenica in an orchestrated effort to "destroy a part of the Bosnian Muslim people as a national, ethnical or religious group." |
