On 16 April 2026 the Appellate Division Panel of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sent out copies of an Appeal Judgment in the case of Andrija Bjelošević, dismissing as ill-founded the appeal filed by the BiH Prosecutor's Office, and upholding the Trial Judgment of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina No. S1 1 K 042858 22 Kri of 11 November 2024.

The Trial Judgment of the Court of BiH acquitted the accused Andrija Bjelošević of the charges because it was not proven that by the actions described in the operative part of the Judgment he committed the criminal offense with which he was charged in the Indictment issued by the Prosecutor's Office of BiH - War Crimes against the Civilian Population under Article 142(1) CC SFRY.

The accused Andrija Bjelošević was charged with having, in the period from early November 1992 to late April 1993, in Derventa, during the war and armed conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina between the Army of the Serb Republic, subsequently Republika Srpska, and the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in his capacity as the Head of the Doboj Security Service Center, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Serb Republic, subsequently the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, a member of the Serb Republic MUP Staff for the management and command of the entire MUP forces and a member of the War Staff within the Crisis Staff of the "Serb Municipality of Doboj", acted contrary to the rules of international humanitarian law, violating the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War from 1949, in such a way that, on at least four occasions, he forced a civilian, by the use of force and threat of direct attack on life and body, to have sexual intercourse (rape), by which actions he would have ultimately committed the criminal offense with which he was charged.

No appeal lies from this Judgment.
