PANTELIĆ: I DO NOT EXPECT A JUDGEMENT

EAST SARAJEVO, MAY 3 /SRNA/ - Retired Major Željko Pantelić says that 12 soldiers were killed in Dobrovoljačka Street in Sarajevo 33 years ago and that he will keep coming to the crime scene, but that he does not expect a judgment to be handed down in this case because everything is being deliberately delayed.

Pantelić says that he is coming to the commemoration for 13 years and that it gets sadder every year because nothing happened in the meantime, i.e. no one was held accountable for this crime.

He states that they started summoning the witnesses for the second lawsuit in 2018, but that they have to be transported to Sarajevo in combat vehicles.

"That says everything about how much someone here is for coexistence and peace," Pantelić told the press.

He does not expect a judgment to be handed down, stating that fifteen of the 200 or so witnesses have been heard so far, and that all the statements are the same, the procedure is being dragged.

"These are all exactly the same statements and it's just a matter of mistreatment of us, witnesses," says Pantelić, who has not been called to testify in 10 years.

East Sarajevo and Sarajevo has marked today 33 years since the attack on the JNA convoy in Dobrovoljačka Street in Sarajevo, in which paramilitary Muslim forces committed crimes against soldiers.
