This post is also available in: Bosnian
Ex-officio Defence attorney Goran Neskovic said that his client was not in Slavonski Brod and that he was not sure where he was.
The District Court in Doboj has no evidence that the summons, which was sent to the indictees address in Slavonski Brod via the Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina, were actually handed to the indictee.
The Court will not schedule a new hearing until Marko Milos place of residence has been determined.
The Municipal Court in Slavonski Brod informed us, in April, that the indictee was somewhere along the Adriatic coast. We shall see whether the Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina can submit a note, if that is in line with diplomatic practices, to the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Croatia in order to determine the indictees place of residence, said preliminary hearing judge Dusko Ninkovic.
Marko Milos, former member of military police with the 108th Slavonsko-brodska Brigade of the Croatian Army, is charged with having physically and mentally abused detained civilians in Odzak and Bosanski Brod in the period from May to September 1992.
According to one of the 14 counts against him, Milos took a female person from an improvised prison for civilians located in a summer house at Brodsko brdo, near Slavonski Brod, and raped her several times during May 1992.
