A Bosnian Serb army officer who served near Srebrenica where 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred has surrendered to the UN war crimes tribunal.

A Bosnian Serb army officer who served near Srebrenica where 8,000 Muslim men and boys were massacred has surrendered to the UN war crimes tribunal.

Lieutenant Colonel Dragan Jokic has turned himself in at the tribunal's office in Banja Luka, says Slobodan Bilic, the Bosnian Serb defence minister.

The details of the indictment have not been made public.

But Jokic's superior officer at the time of the massacre, Bosnian Serb General Radislav Krstic, was sentenced by the tribunal to 46 years on genocide charges earlier this month.
