SFOR Detain Milovan Bjelica - Suspected PIFWC Supporter

At mid-day today in Sokolac, in a Multi-National operation, SFOR detained Milovan Bjelica, whom is suspected of assisting Persons Indicted for War Crimes (PIFWCs). He is being transferred to a secure location for further investigation.

The detention was undertaken in accordance with SFOR's mandate. We believe that he will be able to provide further information on PIFWCs and the PIFWC support network in Bosnia - Herzegovina.
