Bosnian Serb imprisoned for wartime killing of Muslims

Bosnian Serb imprisoned for wartime killing of Muslims
————————————–
A Bosnian court on Monday sentenced former Bosnian Serb soldier Dusko Zoric to 15 years for killing five Muslim civilians during the 1992 war, TRT World reported.

Dusko Zoric, a 55-year-old extradited by Germany last year, was found guilty by Bosnia’s state court of crimes against humanity during the 1992-95 conflict, which left about 100,000 people dead.

At least 69 Bosnian Muslims, half of them women and children, were killed by Bosnian Serb forces in the village of Zecovi, near Prijedor, a Bosnian Serb-majority city, in July 1992.

Prijedor is notorious for the creation of the Omarska, Keraterm and Trnopolje detention camps, collectively known as the “Triangle of Horror,” where around 6,000 people, mainly Bosnian Muslims and Croatians, were killed by Bosnian forces between April and August 1992.

Five other Bosnian Serbs were jailed for between five and 20 years in 2023 for the massacre.
