The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, granted protective measures for witness C-6. The measures include protection of his identity, testimony from a separate cabin and alteration of face and voice.

The Prosecution of BiH charges Aleksandar Cvetkovic, former member of the Tenth Reconnaissance Squad with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, with the murder of more than 900 Bosniaks on Branjevo military farm, Zvornik municipality.

The Prosecution announced that, at the next hearing it would read a statement given by Miroslav Deronjic, who died in a prison in Sweden in 2007. 

In 2003 the Hague Tribunal sentenced Deronjic to ten years in prison after he had admitted guilt for the death of more than 60 Bosniaks from Glogova village in May 1992. 

The trial of Cvetkovic continues on April 22.
