Former member of the 10th Sabotage Detachment of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) Brane Gojković reached an agreement in Belgrade, pleading guilty to the murders of several hundred Srebrenica residents in July 1995, BIRN reports, as carried by the Bosnian news agency Patria.

After his guilty plea, the Higher Court in Belgrade sentenced Gojković to ten years in prison.

According to the agreement, Gojković was one of seven former members of the VRS 10th Sabotage Detachment who participated in the murders of several hundred Bosniak civilians at the Branjevo Military Farm on 16 July 1995.
