As said by the Trial Chamber, prior to the beginning of the hearing the Chamber was informed that the witness had not appeared, but it did not know whether he had received the summons or not.
Prosecutor Ibro Bulic said that he had not got any information about this witness either.
We are not giving up this witness, but we have to wait to see what happened, Bulic explained.
Saric is on trial for having participated in a joint criminal enterprise, which resulted in 40,000 forcedly resettled Bosniaks and more than 7,000 killed persons from the Srebrenica area in July 1995.
The indictment alleges that Saric commanded police forces, which participated in the search, disarming and occupation of positions held by UN troops, as well as the enforced resettlement of women, children and the elderly, as well as the separation of men and boys, who were executed later on.
The trial is due to continue on September 16 with examination of two new State Prosecution witnesses.
