Serbians Can’t Pursue Genocide Claim in U.S.
Ethnic Serbs who claim a military consultant based in the United States trained and equipped Croatian forces to commit genocide during the breakup of Yugoslavia cannot sue in U.S. courts, a federal judge ruled.
In 2010, ethnic Serbians filed a class action in the federal court in Chicago on behalf of all Serbs residing in the Krajina region of Croatia in 1995.
MPRI, a military consulting firm run by former U.S. military officers, allegedly devised the battle plan, and trained and equipped Croatian forces for “Operation Storm,” the last major battle of the Croatian War of Independence.
