Kovacevic, a former member of the Bosnian Serb Army, has been charged with participating in the murder, rape, and unlawful arrest of civilians in Visegrad in May 1992.
At today’s hearing, Kovacevic’s defense included nine pieces of material evidence into the case file. The presentation of evidence took place after a witness failed to appear before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to testify, due to their poor health.
The material evidence filed had previously been submitted to the court and the state prosecution, and were not elaborated upon in the court room. Prosecutor Dzevad Muratbegovic objected to the relevance of several pieces of evidence.
The defense said it would invite the absent witness to testify again. “In any case he is one of the most important witnesses to us. We plan to examine him in the upcoming period,” said defense attorney Petko Pavlovic.
The examination of the last witness for the defense will take place on April 20.
