A court ruling in Jerusalem to reject a request for information about defence exports to the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s Bosnian war has once again raised questions over the alleged use of Israeli military equipment by Bosnian Serb forces during the conflict, BIRN was told by the two Israelis who made the legal request.
Professor Yair Auron and lawyer Eitay Mack told BIRN that they filed the request for the data under Israel’s freedom of information law after previous allegations that the Israeli government assisted Bosnian Serb forces during the 1992-95 conflict.
