The start of trial was set for next week, but it was postponed after a request by the three Defence teams.
At a status conference, the Defence teams said that they only got evidence by the Bosnian prosecution in July, so they need additional time for preparation, since it is a complicated case.
The Bosnian prosecution said it planned to call about 130 witnesses, and the Defence teams did not present their evidence plans, saying they would do that only after the Prosecution finished presenting evidence.
Edhem Godinjak, Medaris Saric and Mirko Bunoza pleaded not guilty to the wartime killings and inhuman treatment of imprisoned Serb soldiers and civilians in Trnovo near Sarajevo.
The three men pleaded not guilty to involvement in the deaths of the imprisoned Serb troops.
They are also charged with participating in a joint criminal enterprise aimed at killing, detaining and burning the property of Serb civilians in villages in the Trnovo municipality.
The prosecution alleges that more than 90 people were killed during the violence, including elderly people, women and a young child.
Godinjak is charged as former chief of the Centre for Public Safety in Trnovo, Saric as commander of the Territorial Defence Headquarters in the municipality and Bunoza as former commander of Croatian Defence Forces units.
