A former senior officer in the Bosnian Serb army has given himself up to the war crimes tribunal in The Hague, the Serbia and Montenegro government says.

What happened at Srebrenica?

More than 7,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered after the town of Srebrenica fell to Bosnian Serb forces, commanded by Krstic, in the summer of 1995.

The women, children and old men living in the town were deported.

Srebrenica was supposed to be a UN-designated safe area but UN forces in the town proved unable or unwilling to help its Muslim population.

Serbs admit Srebrenica death toll
Srebrenica massacre grave
Serb forces tried to cover up the Srebrenica crime
A Bosnian Serb official report admits for the first time that more than 7,000 Muslims were massacred at Srebrenica.

The Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA said the commission's report on the 1995 massacre was being submitted to the Bosnian Serb government on Friday.

The report says "more than 7,000 Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) were killed in Srebrenica," commission member Smail Cehic told SRNA.

The UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague has described the massacre as genocide.

In June the Bosnian Serb president admitted for the first time that Serb forces had committed the massacre - but he avoided giving a definite figure for the victims.

The massacre occurred after Serb forces stormed a UN-designated safe area during the brutal war in Bosnia-Hercegovina.

Fugitives

A commission member, Djordje Stojakovic, told the AFP news agency that the commission had "made the most objective and the most correct list of those killed in Srebrenica".

"We had more than 30 sources of information but the list is not final. I'm not sure that there will be a final list ever," he added.

The Bosnian Serbs' political leader during the 1992-95 war, Radovan Karadzic, and his military commander, Ratko Mladic, are still on the run.

Both men have been indicted by the UN tribunal for war crimes and genocide for their alleged roles in the Srebrenica massacre, but they remain at large somewhere in the former Yugoslavia.

I hope Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina will be able to forge a future of peace...  The Balkans certainly don't need need any more seperation and enmity.

So, any word on Radovan Karadzic yet?
