State Prosecutor Erik Larson presented, as material evidence, a list of members of Jahorina Training Centre and a special list of members of that Unit.
The Prosecutor also presented a photograph of the Agricultural Cooperative warehouse in Kravica, Bratunac municipality.
Testifying on June 21 this year protected Prosecution witness NI102 marked the place on this photograph at which members of the Jahorina Training Centre and captives from Srebrenica were standing prior to the shooting.
“When the shooting began, bullet bursts came from all directions. (…) Two or three soldiers, including a Centre member, whose first and last name I do not know, then killed the survivors,” NI102 said at that hearing, adding that he did not shoot at the prisoners.
The Defence of the indictees did not object to these pieces of material evidence.
The State Prosecution charges Neskovic and Zoran Ilic, former members of the Training Center situated on Mount Jahorina, with participating in the capture of Bosniak men, who were then taken in groups to the Cooperative in Kravica, Bratunac muncipality, where about 1,000 of them were executed on July 13 and 14, 1995.
According to the charges, indictee Neskovic ordered two Centre members whom he knew, to kill two captured Bosniak men.
They allegedly carried out the order.
The indictment alleges that Ilic shot from an automatic gun on a pile of bodies of prisoners, who had been shot, “checking” if there were any survivors among them.
The trial is due to continue on August 15 this year.
