Macic: Hearing Postponed

Jasmina Kosovic, Chairwoman of the Trial Chamber with the State Court, said that a State Prosecution witness, who was invited to testify at this hearing, justified his absence by saying that he was sick and unable to attend the hearing.
 
“Members of the Chamber are unable to attend the hearing either due to other non-postponable commitments,” Kosovic explained, adding that the trial would resume on August 25 this year, following the summer holidays.
 
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Macic, former member of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ABiH, with war crimes against Serb prisoners of war and civilians in Celebici detention camp and Musala sports hall, Konjic municipality.
 
According to the charges, Macic participated in the murder of two Serb civilians in the Celebici detention camp in 1992 and causing severe bodily injuries to civilians and prisoners of war, who were held in Musala.
 
The trial of Macic began in January this year.
 
Prosecution witnesses are due to be examined at the hearing scheduled for August 25 this year.
