Dragan Nikolić (26 April 1957 – 4 June 2018) was a Bosnian Serb army commander of the Sušica detention camp near Vlasenica in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina who was charged with war crimes. He was arrested in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the NATO-led Stabilization Force (SFOR) and taken to the Hague in Netherlands for trial.
The Appeals Chamber found "no basis upon which jurisdiction should not be exercised". Following the ICTY trial, he was sentenced to 23 years in prison on 18 December 2003. This was reduced to 20 years following a sentence appeal. 8,000 mainly Bosniak civilians were detained in the Sušica camp between May and October 1992.
Nikolić was serving his sentence at a prison in Italy until he was granted early release in 2013.
