Damjanovic brothers: Evidence Process Completed

The last additional prosecution witness has been examined before the Court of BiH. This marks the end of the evidence process against Goran and Zoran Damjanovic, former members of the army of Republika Srpska BiH indicted for crimes committed in the Sarajevo settlement of Bojnik in June 1992.

The trial chamber has announced that the prosecution’s closing statement will take place on 12 June, with the statement by the defence delivered two days later.

Witness Mitar Tesic, a member of the investigation team of the BiH prosecution, testified on the authenticity of medical documentation concerning Luka Damjanovic, the late father of the two indicted brothers.

Evidence in Goran Damjanovic’s defence was based on an alibi for the date the crime in Bojnik happened. The first defence witnesses, who testified in December last year, claimed that Goran Damjanovic had been in Pale on that day to donate blood to his father, who had been wounded.

Tesic and Prosecutor Philip Alcock obtained a list of all persons who had received blood transfusions in that hospital in the period from May to October 1992, but Luka Damjanovic was not on the list.

The evidence process has been completed by presentation, by the defence team, of two more pieces of material evidence – certificates of unemployment of Goran Damjanovic and his wife.
