SARAJEVO, November 12 (FENA) - The BiH state prosecution filed an indictment on Thursday charging Brane Petković, the former commander of the municipal Territorial Defence headquarters in the 'Serb Municipality of Goražde', for failing to undertake necessary and reasonable measures to prevent war crimes against the civilian population in Lozje (also known as Kokino Selo) in May 1992.
The attack on the village on 22 May 1992, resulted in deaths, severe injuries and inhumane treatment, the indictment said.
