Jewish-Americans Demand Indictment Against

Milenko Krstic, Serbian War Criminal Hiding in

1995 Srebrenica Genocide

Jewish people have an obligation to the victims of the Holocaust to prosecute

perpetrators of genocide. Serbian war criminal, Milenko Krstic, is one of them – and he
is hiding among us in the United States.

The Court system in the United States is not willing to try Krstic on war crimes
charges. Krstic has already pleaded guilty to a lesser charge: making a false
statement on a government document and a federal judge will sentence him on Friday.

Federal sentencing guidelines suggest a punishment of probation and no more than

six months in prison. We strongly believe Krstic should be extradited to Bosnia-
Herzegovina to stand trial for genocide. If found guilty, the punishment carries a
maximum sentence of life in prison.

Milenko Krstic worked at the headquarters of the Bosnian Serb Army providing
logistical support to Bosnian Serb units during the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide. The
mass slaughter of Bosniak men and boys at Srebrenica is recognized as the gravest
atrocity to take place in Europe since the Nazi genocide of Jews. In July 1995, at least
8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were rounded up and systematically killed by the
Bosnian Serb army. Some 30,000 refugees were expelled from the enclave in a brutal
ethnic cleansing campaign. Hundreds of women were singled out for rape and sexual
torture.

Krstic’s militia has been designated by the International Court of Justice in The Hague
as having participated in war crimes, genocide and ethnic cleansing during the
Bosnian war in the early 1990s. Federal court files show that the U.S. government also
learned Krstic’s specific unit, the Zvornik Infantry Brigade, was “involved in the
massacre of a large number of unarmed Muslim prisoners in 1995, in areas in close
proximity to (Krstic’s) duty station.” A prosecution document said that one mass killing
was at a school “in close physical proximity to battalion headquarters where records
show that defendant was working at the time.”

Milenko Krstic’s relative, Gen. Radislav Krstic, was convicted by the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for aiding and abetting genocide at
Srebrenica and is currently serving his sentence in Britain. Milenko’s brother Ostoja
Krstic is also suspected of participating in the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide. His
immigration fraud case is pending in Oregon.

Here is what you can do!

For justice to be done, Milenko Krstic must stand trial for genocide. A panel of
international judges, working for the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina, can assess Krstic’s
guilt or innocence fairly, protecting his rights up to the highest international legal
standards. For extradition to suceed, the Office of the Prosecutor of Bosnia-
Herzegovina (OTP) must first draft an indictment against Krstic.

Therefore, we ask you to contact the OTP and demand prosecutors draft an indictment
against Krstic as soon as possible. You can make your voice heard by sending an e-
mail to Chief Prosecutor, Milorad Barasic, info@tuzilastvobih.gov.ba or visiting
