It remains unclear why war crimes prosecutors in Bosnia have never investigated Bosnian Croat lawmaker Dragan Konta, despite a 2017 court ruling identifying him as the military police commander at a school where Serbs were detained and abused during the 1992-95 war.

In 2016, a Bosnian Serb called Dejan Laganin gave evidence via video link during the Sarajevo trial of three men accused of war crimes against Serb detainees in Livno, in the west of Bosnia and Herzegovina, during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.

According to the verdict in the case, the detainees were held in a school and “subjected to various forms of mental and physical abuse on a daily basis”; some were put to work, some were taken away and “never returned alive”.
