A former Bosnian Muslim commander was charged with war crimes during the 1992-1995 ethnic conflict.
Naser Oirc led Muslim forces in the eastern town of Srebrenica alongside his lieutenant Sabahudin Muhic. The pair were charged with the murder of three Serbian prisoners of war in 1992 reports Agence France Presse.
Mr Oric was arrested in Switzerland earlier this year on an arrest warrant issued by Serbia.
In 2006, Oric was sentenced by the International Criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia to two years in prison for not doing enough to protect Srebrenica’s Serb population during the war.
The arrest of Mr Oric sparked mass outcry among the Bosnian Muslim leaders and families of the victims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslim men by Bosnian Serb forces.
