Borislav Herak Biography

Borislav Herak is one of the most popular and richest Military Personnel who was born on January 18, 1971 in Sarajevo, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A trial along with Damjanovic as well as Herak in the month of March 1993 was the very first attempt of the Sarajevo justice system bring charges against Bosnian Serbs for genocide and other crimes of war. In his trial, Herak stated that he was sent together with troops from Serbia in the Serbian village Ahatovici close to Sarajevo and was given orders “to kill everybody and burn everything down.” A total of 150 villagers who were children included, were gathered together and shot before being thrown out, with some of them still alive, into an open grave. Herak admitted to murders and rapes of detainees in the Cafe Sonya/Kod sonje camp for rape, which was operated by Miro Vukovic close to Sarajevo’s United Nations headquarters in Sarajevo.

Herak recanted his testimony in January 1996, claiming that his testimony before the Bosnian court was beaten out of him. He maintained that he had witnessed killings and heard about rapes but had not done anything himself. In the meanwhile, two Muslim brothers, Kasim and Asim Blekić, whose supposed murders were used as evidence in the trial of Herak and Damjanović had been found living in a Sarajevo suburb.

Judge Fahrudin Teftedarija, who had tried and sentenced Herak and Damjanović, insisted in 1997 that the reappearance of the Blekić brothers and the indictment of other suspects for the murder of Ramiz Kršo did not challenge the degree of Damjanović’s guilt—he had committed other murders, rapes and expulsions.

In July 1993 The second instance court confirmed the verdict of guilt and the punishments in place. The third-instance court’s meeting in the month of December, 1993 confirmed verdict of the second instance court. The argument was that this trial had been a show and that the defendant did not receive an impartial trial. However, the court ruled against the request for a retrial of Damjanovic, stating the “there was plenty of other evidence sufficient for a verdict.”

On 7 February 1993 the District Military Prosecutor’s Office in Sarajevo filed an indictment with the District Military Court in Sarajevo against Herak for genocide, war crimes against a civilian population and war crimes against prisoners of war, committed while he was a member of “Bioča Company” and “Kremeš Company”.
