Tuesday’s hearing, at which a protected witness was due to testify, was interrupted following a closed session at which the Trial Chamber discussed the protection measures that were supposed to be granted to the witness.
The Trial Chamber did not explain why the hearing was cancelled.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Neskovic, Ilic and Crnogorac, former members of the Jahorina Training Centre with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, MUP RS, with having participated in detention, forcible resettlement, murder and other inhumane acts committed against Bosniaks in Srebrenica in July 1995.
The indictment alleges that the indictees participated, in mid July 1995, in the capture and forcible transfer of civilians from Potocari by buses and trucks, onto which they loaded women and children, while separating the men from their families and taking them to various execution locations.
Prosecutor Eric Larson said that the protected witness who was supposed to be examined today previously testified before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Dusko Jevic et. al., but he did not say when or what protection measures were granted to him.
Jevic, Mendeljev Djuric, known as Mane, Goran Markovic and Nedjo Ikonic are on trial for having participated in the forcible resettlement of the population from Srebrenica area and the murder of more than 1,000 Bosniak men in the Agricultural Cooperative premises in Kravica.
According to the official schedule of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the trial is due to continue April 26.
