The State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina is conducting several trials related to war crimes committed during the conflict in the 1990s. In late October 2026, the court scheduled a verdict for Šerif Patković, a former commander accused of killing a Croatian Defence Council commander in the village of Dusina in 1993. Other defendants in related hearings faced charges of crimes against humanity involving the mistreatment of non-Serb civilians. In early November 2026, the court issued a first-instance verdict regarding a September 1992 massacre in Novoseoci, Sokac, where 45 Bosniak civilians were killed. Six former members of the Second Romanija Brigade of the Republika Srpska Army, including Momčilo Pajić, Miladin Gašević, and Branislav Kezunović, were sentenced to a total of 83 years in prison. They were found guilty of crimes against humanity involving the killing of 44 men and the deportation of women and children. Specifically, Momčilo Pajić received 20 years, Miladin Gašević received 15 years, and Branislav Kezunović, Željko Gašević, Jadranko Šuka, and Nikola Koprivica each received 12 years. The court determined the attack was part of a systematic effort to ethnically cleanse the area. Dragomir Obradović and Aleksa Gordić were acquitted. Proceedings against Momir Kezunović remained suspended following his death in October 2026.
