Prosecutors in Serbia have accused five people of torturing and killing 20 Muslims of Serbia during the war in Bosnia in the 1990s.
The indictment reportedly said that Serb paramilitaries on February 27th 1993 have stopped the train to Shtrrpci, a border village with Bosnia, and have taken 20 people, mostly Muslims.
The paramilitaries had sent the people to Visegrad, east of Bosnia, where they had been tortured and killed all of them, while their troops were thrown into the Drina River.
All the victims were Muslims from Sandzak, in the western part of Serbia.
In 2014, a total of 16 suspected members of the paramilitary army were arrested in Bosnia and Serbia.
Eleven others are under trial, where only one of them had admitted guilt and was sentenced to five years in prison in 2016, following an agreement with prosecutors.
Another member of the group was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2002 by a trial in Montenegro.
In 2009, the leader of the paramilitary group, Milan Lufiq, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the United Nations Tribunal for War Crimes during the 1992-1995 conflict in Bosnia. He has never been charged with the Sterptz massacre, but his brother, Gojko Luqq, figures on the list of five indictees.
From war in Bosnia, between Croats, Muslims and Serbs, during the 1992-1995 period, about 100,000 people have been killed. / REL
