World Briefing | Europe: Bosnia: Crackdown on Srebrenica Suspects

[NYT - Europe]

Among his first moves as the new high representative for Bosnia, Miroslav Lajcak fired a powerful Serbian police commander and suspended 35 other police officers suspected of playing roles in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslims. Mr. Lajcak said that after consultation with Carla Del Ponte, chief prosecutor at the war crimes tribunal in The Hague, he fired the commander, Dragomir Andan, because he had been using his position to protect fugitives wanted for war crimes. Mr. Lajcak, a Slovak diplomat and the senior international official in Bosnia, also ordered passports seized from 93 people with possible links to the massacre and still holding official positions in Bosnia.
