The Bosnian State Prosecutor's Office on Monday denied reports by some media in Croatia that indictments had been prepared against a group of Croatian Army generals accused by the Bosnian Serb police of war crimes.
"The case is in investigative stage and that's all we can say about it," spokeswoman for the State Prosecutor's Office Selma Hecimovic told press in Sarajevo, stressing that the Prosecutor's Office had not issued any indictments against the generals.
Hecimovic explicitly said that none of the media could have received a confirmation that the indictments had been issued because they had not been prepared in the first place.
Croatian Army generals, including Ante Gotovina, Rahim Ademi, Damir Krsticevic, Miljenko Filipovic and Ljubo Cesic Rojs, and several generals and senior officers of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) have been accused by the authorities of Republika Srpska, the Bosnian Serb entity, of war crimes allegedly committed in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina during final military operations in 1995.
