The Defence objected to the document, claiming that it did not include indictee Vlaco’s name, but some other person’s name.

The State Prosecution also presented conclusions, certificates and orders issued by the Crisis Committee of the Vogosca Serbian municipality, which prove, among other things, that the military barracks in Semizovac were put at the disposal of the Serbian Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it was competent for making decisions about leaving Vogosca.

It also presented lists of captured Muslims from the Vogosca area, as well as an instruction on the general military mobilisation of all Serbs who had reached full legal age.

The indictment alleges that Branko Vlaco, former Manager of “Bunker”, “Planjina kuca”, “Kod Sonje” and “Nakina garaza” detention camps, is charged with having established a system for the punishment of detained civilians.

According to the charges, detainees were abused, forced to perform hard labour and used as human shields, where many of them were killed. Tens of them are allegedly reported as missing. The indictment alleges that Vlaco raped one female person.

The trial is due to continue on August 21.
