warehouses of the former JNA barracks in Ševarlije

The warehouse buildings of the former JNA barracks in Ševarlije near Doboj were used from May 1992 until the end of 1993 as a detention facility for Bosniak and Croat civilians that was run by the Army of RS, members of CSB Doboj MUP RS and members of paramilitary units. Prisoners were subjected to detention, forced labour, inhumane conditions, and interrogations and abuse.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) convicted Momčilo Krajišnik, the wartime speaker of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska, for crimes committed at the warehouses of the former JNA barracks in Sevarlije near Doboj, under the doctrine of command responsibility, and sentenced him to 20 years in prison. Biljana Plavšić, wartime member of the Presidency of Republika Srpska, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Mićo Stanišić, wartime minister of the interior of Republika Srpska, and Stojan Župljanin, head of the Banja Luka Public Security Centre, were each sentenced to 22 years in prison.

The trial in the case of Borislav Paravac and others is currently under way before the Court of BiH. Borislav Paravac, Andrija Bjelošević and Milan Savić stand accused that in the period from early May 1992 to the end of 1993, they participated in a joint criminal endeavour against the Bosniak and Croat civilian population in the area of Doboj.
