After having conducted a psychiatric examination, Cemalovic said that they were capable of testifying.

The Trial Chamber decided that no details from the hearing would be published, because there was a possibility that witnesses would request protection measures in case they would give statements.

Rackovic, former member of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, is on trial for having participated in attacks on Bosniak villages, detention, torture, forced disappearances of persons from the Visegrad area, as well as rape, in the period from May to the end of August 1992.

The trial is due to continue on September 3.
