Two former Bosnian Serb police officials have been charged over their role in the Srebrenica genocide by Bosnian prosecutors this week.
The two men, wartime police chief in Bratunac, Miodrag Josipovic and deputy commander of a Bratunac police station, Branimir Tesic, were charged with "deliberately helping and supporting the main perpetrators of genocide."
The Bosnian state prosecutor's statement said that Serb forces were carrying out a "large and systematic attack on Muslim civilians in the UN-protected enclave" of Srebrenica in July 1995, where Josipovic and Tesic are accused of forcibly removing civilians and separating men from their families.
The men are also accused of taking part in the detention of more than 1,000 men and boys, aged from 16 to 90 years old, all of whom were later killed.
8,000 Muslim men and boys were executed by Serbian troops in Srebrenica.
