The decision to open an extradition process came after months of examining evidence.<\/p>\n<p>That evidence exposes shocking details of the massacre of Muslims at Braniewo farm, the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hundreds of Bosnian civilians were bused to the farm handcuffed and blindfolded. They were led to the killing fields where firing squads made up of Bosnian-Serb soldiers shot them in cold blood,&#8221; the ministry said.<\/p>\n<p>Cvetkovic actively participated in the massacre and was one of eight soldiers in the firing squad, the state prosecutor&#8217;s office said. The extradition process, it said, is part of &#8220;an international legal action that investigates and prosecutes those responsible for planning and carrying out genocide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in Srebrenica in 1995. Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb president at the time, is accused of being responsible for the massacre.<\/p>\n<p>Srebrenica became an emblem for the dissolution of Yugoslavia &#8212; once a multi-ethnic state of Serbs, Croats, Muslims and others &#8212; into six countries during bloody and brutal conflicts in the early 1990s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli police arrested Tuesday an immigrant from the former Yugoslavia who is suspected of participating in the 1995 massacre in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":10864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,109,56,895,101,14],"tags":[7202,14434,14436,14433,267,14376,14435,13288,14437,14432],"class_list":["post-10863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-dont-miss","category-events","category-life","category-politics","category-world","tag-bosnia","tag-bosnian-town-srebrenica","tag-braniewo-farm","tag-immigrant","tag-israel","tag-israeli-citizenship","tag-israeli-justice-ministry","tag-israeli-police","tag-massacre-of-muslims","tag-yugoslavia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
