Crime
[edit]The convoy was stopped in the village of Rankovići (Novi Travnik municipality) when a robbery began in which soldiers and civilians participated, while at the same time members of the Croatian Defense Council killed seven truck drivers.[2] Out of about 450 vehicles in the 11 kilometer long group, 78 reached Tuzla.[3]
Two HVO soldiers who shot at the convoy were killed by the British members of the UN who were responsible for the security of the convoy.[4] The convoy was then stopped again in Vitez, where the looting continued. The defense in the case of Kordić and Čerkez claimed that the act of looting the convoy was not organized, but a spontaneous reaction of the civilian population that turned into anarchy, while some other ECCM eyewitnesses claimed that the attack on the convoy was organized.[5]
Court proceedings
[edit]Darijo Kordić and Tihomir Blaškić were convicted for the attack on the convoy before the International Tribunal for War Crimes Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia.[6]
The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina launched an investigation on 3 October 2019 after it was transferred several times to different prosecutor's offices. On 2 November 2020, the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in accordance with the provisions of the State Strategy for War Crimes Cases, submitted the investigation for processing at the Prosecutor's Office of Central Bosnia Canton in Travnik.[7]
