War Criminal Bosnian Serb Aleksandar Cvetković, 43 to Stand Trial for involvement in the Srebrenica massacre of 1995

The International Investigations Unit arrests Aleksandar Cvetković after Bosnia files extradition request over suspicions that he was involved in 1995 mass murder.
He is suspected of "having personally taken part in the execution of more than 800 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) men and boys from the UN safe area", the Bosnian state prosecutor's office said in a statement.

According to evidence cited in the prosecutors' extradition request, Cvetkovic had "initiated the use of an M-84 machine-gun in order to speed up the killings".

Cvetkovic was arrested in Israel in January based on the Bosnian prosecutor’s claim that he participated in an eight-member firing squad involved in killing between 800 and 1,200 people at the Branjevo Military Agricultural Colony, about 20 miles northwest of Srebrenica. According to the Bosnian documentation, handcuffed and blindfolded Bosnian Muslim males were taken by buses to the Branjevo site during an operation lasting about 10 hours. When they left the buses, they were shot.
