Evidence about Tomasica at Mladics Trial
This post is also available in: Bosnian
Presiding judge Alphons Orie said, in his decision, that forensic evidence found in Tomasica mass grave was extremely relevant for the accusations against Mladic.
So far the Chamber has examined about 60, out of 300 planned Defence witnesses. Most of them testified about the happenings in Sarajevo. None of them spoke about Prijedor. Taking this into consideration, the Chamber consider that, given the fact that this Prosecutions motion was submitted in the early phase of presentation of Defences evidence, Mladics Defence attorneys will have plenty of time to present counter-evidence related to these pieces of evidence, the Trial Chambers decision says.
The Hague Prosecution announced that it would invite six expert witnesses and seven witnesses and present 43 pieces of material evidence related to the remains found in Tomasica grave.
Ratko Mladic, former Commander of the Main Headquarters of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, is on trial for genocide in Prijedor and several other municipalities in 1992, as well as genocide in Srebrenica, the persecution of Bosniaks and Croats from the territories under Serb control, terror against citizens in Sarajevo and taking UNPROFOR members hostage.
The Hague Prosecution completed the presentation of its evidence in December last year.
