[JURIST] The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina [official website] on Sunday sentenced [press release] two Bosnian Muslim brothers each to six years in prison for the murder of two Serbian civilians during the 1992-1995 Bosnian Civil War [JURIST news archive]. The brothers, Saban and Elvir Djelibasic, were members of the Bosnian army during the conflict. They pleaded guilty to charges that they shot two Serbian civilians following the news that another of their brothers had been killed during the conflict.

Courts continue to pursue cases related to the Bosnian civil war. In April, Rasema Handanovic, a woman accused of killing Bosnian Croat civilians during the Bosnian Civil War, pleaded guilty [JURIST report] before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The trial of eight Bosnian Muslims [JURIST report] for their alleged war crimes during the civil war began earlier this month.
