The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced that during the evidence hearing it would call 74 witnesses, three experts, and enter over 300 exhibits into evidence.
“We planned 80 hours for witnesses, while two or three days would be sufficient for the presentation of evidence,” said Dzevad Muratbegovic, prosecutor for the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Prosecution charges Besim Muderizovic, Ramiz Avdovic and Iliuan-Nicolae Vintila, with taking part, between late June and late November 1992, as members of the joint criminal enterprise, in the establishing and maintaining of an abuse system of Serb civilians.
The indictment specifies that in the Viktor Bubanj army barracks in Sarajevo, imprisoned civilians of Serb nationality were subject to deliberate infliction of severe bodily or emotional pain and forced labour.
Muderizovic and Avdovic have been in custody since October, while Vintila is defending himself from liberty.
The Viktor Bubanj barracks was renovated after the war and now the Court and Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina have offices there.
Emir Kapidzic, lawyer of the first defendant, announced he plans to examine 15 witnesses and enter a great number of exhibits into evidence, while the Defence of the second defendant plans to examine 10 witnesses and enter around 100 exhibits into evidence.
The lawyer of the third defendant Vlado Adamovic said he would examine between 10 and 15 witnesses, while he would need one to two days to present his evidence.
