The court on Monday said Emrah Fojnica, 20, was suspected of a “criminal act of terrorism” over the Oct. 28 attack in which Mevlid Jasarevic paralyzed central Sarajevo for 30 minutes as he fired on the embassy.
Jasarevic, a 23-year-old from neighboring Serbia, wounded one police officer in the assault before he in turn was shot in the leg by a sharpshooter.
The authorities have already detained two men, Dino Pecenkovic and Munib Ahmetsphaic, who they say helped Jasarevic.
Police officers arrested Fojnica during a raid last week on the northeastern village of Gornja Maoca.
The police found a large cache of weapons in sports bags during the raid including an automatic rifle and Fojnica’s identification card, local media said.
The assault revived questions over the threat from radical Islam in the Balkans.
