ICE removes Serbian man who allegedly participated in Bosnian genocide
MIAMI – A Serbian national wanted for crimes he allegedly committed during his military service during the Bosnian Civil War was removed Monday by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Miami.
Srdjan Bilic, 44, departed Miami International Airport Monday morning escorted by ERO officers and arrived Tuesday morning at Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, Serbia, where he was transferred into the custody of Serbian law enforcement.
Bilic was a member of the Army of the Republika Srpska (Vojska Republika Srpska or VRS), Bratunac Brigade, a unit that is implicated in assisting in the genocide that took place in Srebrenica, Bosnia, in July 1995. Approximately 8,000 men and boys were executed and 30,000 women and children were violently expelled from the area in a crime that the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia formally ruled to be genocide in 2001. In 2005, Kofi Annan, then Secretary General of the United Nations labeled the Srebrenica genocide as the worst crime to take place on European soil since World War II.
