Well-known suspects including a former Bosnian presidency member, two Bosnian Army generals and a police chief make the Dobrovoljacka case one of the most high-profile in recent years – but what is known about the charges so far?

The Bosnian state prosecution filed an indictment this week charging ten people with committing a war crime in Sarajevo on May 3, 1992, when a Yugoslav People’s Army military convoy was withdrawing from the capital.

In the ‘Dobrovoljacka’ case, so called because of the street on which the crime was committed, the prosecution has indicted several people who were senior officials of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the time, including Ejup Ganic, who was a member of Bosnia’s presidency at the time, Hasan Efendic, who led the Territorial Defence force, Bosnian Army generals Hamid Bahto and Fikret Muslimovic, and Bakir Alipasic, who was chief of police in Sarajevo.
