The verdict was made few days ago by the court in Rovinje, when it was determined that Croatian army arrested Bozovic for accusations on war crimes and they viciously tortured him, even though he left military service in 1991.

No one touched him in prison in Pula for four months, but when he was transferred to Kerestinec, he was welcomed with hell that lasted eight days. They beat him up day and night, they held gun under his neck and kept him in solitary cell.

- I feel the consequences even today. Croatian military police beat me with sticks, and there was one young female police officer among them. I keep getting flashbacks of those events. They way they hit me, asking loudly: "Who gave the chetnik name of Croatian king Tomislav?" - remembers Bozovic.

There was so called black room in Kesrestinec prison, where people where people were stretched on hooks and tortured with electricity.

Upon releasing from custody, he was transferred to Military Medical Academy for examination, and he stayed with his brother in Belgrade afterwards.

- I am just sorry that so few Serbs that were in captivity survived to this day, because they could hope for some compensation for everything they went through. I am skeptical because the verdict is till not in power and the prosecutors have the right to complain. While the pigeon is on the tree, we are not making a stew - said this former pilot.
