In her statement given to the State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA in 2007 witness Ramic said that Mladjenovic was among the soldiers, who walked with the civilians. She said that Mladjenovic told her that he was a general.
Ramic said that Mladjenovic showed her a blood-stained piece of paper, saying that it was his brothers blood. She said that, during their conversation he asked her about some people and that he forced her to go back to nearby village Ramici later on.
The witness mentioned that she recognised Savo Zivkovic in the group of soldiers as well.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina alleges that Mladjenovic commanded an attack on Hranca village on May 3, 1992, when several Bosniak civilians were killed and captured, and gave an order to set their houses on fire.
According to the Prosecutions charges, Mladjenovic commanded an attack on Glogova village six days later and gave an order to kill more than 20 local Bosniak residents. Zivkovic is charged with having participated in the attacks, deportation of civilians from those villages and destruction of their property.
The indictment alleges that Mladjenovic was Commander of the Territorial Defence in Bratunac and Zivkovic was its member.
The Defence attorneys of the indictees objected to the lawfulness of the statement, saying that the record of the examination of this witness did not contain questions by SIPA investigators.
The trial is due to continue on Tuesday, February 12.
