2 Todorović is one of several persons associated with the “Šosanski Samac” case, formally known as Prosecutor v. Blagoje Simić et al., No. IT-95-9. The charges against Todorović may be found in the second amended indictment in the case, filed on March 25, 1999.

Simić, Decision Stating Reasons for Trial Chamber’s Order of 4 March 1999 on Defence Motion for Evidentiary Hearing on the Arrest of the Accused Todorović (Mar. 25, 1999); Prosecutor v. Simić, Decision on Appeal by Stevan Todorović Against the Oral Decision of 4 March 1999 and the Written Decision of 25 March 1999 of Trial Chamber III (Oct. 13, 1999).

6 See Letter of Col. Fred I. Pribble, NATO/SFOR Legal Adviser, to Judge Patrick L. Robinson, ICTY (July 9, 2000). Among other things, NATO/SFOR noted that in the Dokmanović case an ICTY trial chamber found that an arrest involving the deceptive “luring” of an accused was lawful. See Prosecutor v. Mrksić, Decision on the Motion for Release by the Accused Dokmanović, No. IT-95-13 (Oct. 22, 1997). NATO/SFOR conceded, however, that the Dokmanović trial chamber left open the question of how an arrest involving the forcible abduction or “kidnapping” of an accused would be treated.
