Prosecutor Ozrenka Neskovic presented a transcript of a statement given by Miroslav Deronjic to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, in 2003.
“The part of the statement referring to a widespread and systematic attack on and occupation of Bratunac in 1992 is important, just like some headings: ‘An ultimatum to Bosnian Muslims’, ‘Volunteers creating an atmosphere of fear’ and ‘Arrival of JNA in Bratunac’. Subheadings, like ‘The role of Bratunac Crisis Committee’, ‘Glogova’ and others are interesting too,” Neskovic said, describing the documents.
Miroslav Deronjic was sentenced by The Hague Tribunal to ten years in prison. He died in 2007.
The Prosecution presented photo documentation taken in Glogova and Hranca villages, depicting, among other things, the direction in which the local population was deported.
The State Prosecution has now completed the presentation of its evidence at the trial of Najdan Mladjenovic and Savo Zivkovic, whose Defence teams objected to the relevance of the presented evidence.
Mladjenovic and Zivkovic are charged with having unlawfully arrested and abused Bosniak civilians within a widespread and systematic attack on Hranca and Glogova villages, Bratunac municipality, on May 3 and 9, 1992.
According to the charges, Mladjenovic was Commander of the Territorial Defence in Bratunac, while Zivkovic was member of that Unit at the time.
The Defence teams submitted to the Trial Chamber a list of the proposed defence’s evidence.
The trial is due to continue on July 9.
