FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, November 6 (FENA) - Former Bosnian Serb Army soldiers Cvijan Tomanić and Srećo Kandič are accused of committing violent crimes against Bosniaks and ethnic Albanians in the village of Glumina, near Zvornik, in 1992.

Bosnia’s State Investigation and Protection Agency arrested Cvijan Tomanić and Srećo Kandić in Zvornik on Tuesday for alleged wartime crimes against Bosniak and ethnic Albanian civilians.

“They have been charged, in their capacity as former Bosnian Serb Army members, who were armed and acted in collaboration with other soldiers, with having surrounded a house in which women and children were staying in the village of Glumina, near Zvornik, in the spring of 1992,” the state prosecution said in a statement, BIRN reports.

“They allegedly used threats to force the women to call men who were hiding in the woods to come out, after which they personally and directly participated in torturing and abusing the Bosniak and Albanian men,” the statement added.

The prosecution alleges that Tomanić and Kandić participated in a widespread and systematic attack on the Bosniak civilian population in the Zvornik area.

Tomanić is suspected of killing an ethnic Albanian civilian with a handgun and ordering other people, including minors, to bury his body.

Both men are further charged with taking two Bosniak civilians away to an unknown location, after which they were not seen alive again.

Their remains were later exhumed from the Crni Vrh mass grave near Zvornik.
