Belgrade Higher Court confirmed to BIRN that proceedings against former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Jovan Lipovac, who was one of four ex-fighters on trial in the long-running Strpci train massacre case, have been discontinued because of his death on February 25.

Lipovac was on trial alongside alleged former paramilitaries Gojko Lukic, Dusko Vasiljevic and Dragana Djekic for participating in the abduction of 20 non-Serb passengers from a train in Strpci station in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993. All the captive passengers were subsequently killed.
