He commenced work in the State Security Service (Drzavna bedzbednost or "DB") of the Ministry of the Internal Affairs of the Republic of Serbia ("MUP") in 1975. He held the position of Deputy Head of the DB throughout 1991 and was de facto head of the DB until his formal appointment to the position of Chief of the DB from 31 December 1991 to 27 October 1998.
The Bill of Indictment alleges that, from or about 1 April 1991 until 31December 1995, Jovica Stanisic, acting together with Franko Simatovic, (See “Related Cases”) planned, ordered, committed or otherwise aided and abetted the persecution of Croats, Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats in the autonomous region of Krajina, in the Croatian regions under Serbian control as well as in the municipalities in the north and east of Bosnia-Herzegovina. These persecutions were perpetrated on discriminatory grounds and included various forms such as murder, forcible transfer and deportation on non-Serb civilians.
According to the Indictment, the defendant was part of a joint criminal enterprise whose aim was the forcible and permanent removal of the majority of Muslims and non-Serbs from around one third of the territory of the Republic of Croatia and a large part of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, where it was foreseen to create a new State dominated by the Serbs. This joint criminal enterprise came into being on 1st August 1991, and is said to have gone on until 31 December 1995.
Based on the Indictment, Jovica Stanisic, acting individually and/or in concert with other members of the joint criminal enterprise, participated in this enterprise in the following ways:
1. By participating in the formation, financing, supply and support of special units of the Republic of Serbia DB and the Republic of Serbia.
2. By directing members and agents of the DB who participated in the perpetration of the crimes in this Indictment;
3. By providing arms, funds, training, logistical support and other substantial assistance or support to special units of the Republic of Serbia DB and the Republic of Serbia that were involved in the commission of crimes in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina between 1 August 1991 and 31 December 1995.
Jovica Stanisic was arrested on 13 March 2003 by the Serbian authorities and transferred to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on 11 June 2003. | |     click for more... | | Trial Watch would like to remind its users that any person charged by national or international authorities is presumed innocent until proven guilty. | |  |  | | nationality : | | | Serbia and montenegro | | | date of birth : | | | 30.07.1950 | | | last time seen : | | | The Hague, Netherlands | | | period of charges : | | | 01.04.1991 - 31.12.1995 | | | charges : | | | Crimes against humanity
