Gavrankapetanovic said that, acting on a warrant issued by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, he conducted an expert examination of witness S-2’s medical report and concluded that she neither had an acute nor severe chronic condition, so she was able to appear in court.
The Court of BiH issued an order for forced apprehension of S-2 to this hearing, because she failed to respond to the State Court’s invitations to the previous two hearings. She submitted to the Court the documentation, which Ibrahim Gavrankapetanovic examined.
Indictee Dragan Sekaric said that S-2 performed her job regularly.
Prosecutor Seid Marusic proposed that the court expert spoke to the witness, who, as he said, had some health problems.
“I am an internal medicine doctor, not a neuro-psychiatrist. I have to notice that the medical report, which I examined, did not mention her mental state or stress,” court expert Gavrankapetanovic said.
As per a proposal by the Prosecution of BiH, the public was excluded during the examination of protected witness S-2.
Sekaric, former member of the Territorial Defence and “Osvetnik” (“Avenger”) paramilitary formation, is charged with having participated in an attack on Lozje village, Gorazde municipality as well as murders, rape and physical abuse of non-Serb civilians in Visegrad.
According to the timetable of hearings, this trial is due to continue on September 29.
