Having confirmed the indictment, deciding on the Motion of the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina to impose prohibitive measures, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued a decision on 20 April 2015 granting the Prosecutor’s Motion, and imposed the following prohibitive measures on Redžo Balić:

 

·       Ban on leaving the place of residence (the suspect’s movement is restricted to the territory of the Konjic municipality);

·       Travel ban (with temporary withdrawal of travel documents together with the prohibition of issuance of new travel documents, as well as the prohibition to use the identity card for crossing the State border of Bosnia and Herzegovina);

·       Prohibition from meeting with certain persons (the suspect is prohibited from contacting or meeting with witnesses in this case, including approaching them at the distance of 100 meters).

·       Obligation to periodically report to the relevant police station, once a week.

 

The imposed prohibiting measures may last for as long as they are needed, that is, until a new decision of the Court, and the justifiability of custody shall be reviewed on a bi-monthly basis.

 

If the accused violates the imposed prohibiting measures, he may be placed into custody.

 

Redžo Balić is under grounded suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of War Crimes against Civilians under Article 173(1)c) as read with Article 180(1) of the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
