At the plea hearing before the Section I for War Crimes of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), the accused Marko Adamović and Boško Lukić plead not guilty. The Indictment charges Marko Adamović and Boško Lukić with the criminal offenses of Crimes against Humanity and Organizing a Group of People and Instigating the Perpetration of Genocide, Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes.

The Indictment alleges that from April to December 1992 Boško Lukić and Marko Adamović, together with other members of the Crisis Staff of the Ključ Municipality, planned, prepared, instigated, aided and abetted and participated in the campaign of persecution of the non-Serb population of the Ključ Municipality. Boško Lukić acted as the Commander of the Territorial Defense Staff of the Ključ Municipality, member of the Crisis Staff of the Ključ Municipality and member of the Ključ Town Defense Command, while Marko Adamović acted as a member of the Crisis Staff of the Ključ Municipality, Commander of the Ključ Town Defense Command and the Deputy Commander of the Ključ Battalion of the Territorial Defense. Among other things, the Indictment alleges that after the shelling of the Ključ settlements Pudin Han and Velagići, inhabited by the Bosniak population, on 28 May 1992, all the civilian population was called to gather near the Community Center in Velagići. After civilians gathered in front of the Centre, they were ordered to go in front of the Ključ Public Security Station. While going towards the Ključ Public Security Station, the civilians were allegedly stopped at a police checkpoint and the men were separated from the women and children. After the separation, the women and children were released without a right to return to their homes, while the men were interrogated and registered, and then some of them were released, while more than 200 of them were allegedly deprived of liberty and imprisoned in the premises of the Primary School Nikola Mačkić.
