Bravnice massacre judicial accountability efforts

Overview

Officials from Republika Srpska are seeking judicial accountability for the 1995 Bravnice massacre near Jajce. The incident, which occurred during Operation Maestral, involved an attack on a refugee column by Croatian military units that resulted in the deaths of over 80 Serbian civilians, including eight children.

Republika Srpska Minister of Justice Goran Selak and Prime Minister Savo Minić have called for the establishment of facts and responsibility, with Minić stating that justice should no longer be treated as a political issue. The Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina has confirmed an active case is underway, involving witness interviews and documentation collection to support potential indictments.
