Dusan Nikolic testified was 17 years old in 1995 and lived with his sister in Zvornik. Nikolic said he knew protected witness SB-1, as he had previously socialized with his younger son.

“I started to avoid him before my wedding because he became involved in robberies. I knew he was in prison. He began telling lies to me. I slapped him and threw him out of my house,” Nikolic said, adding that SB-1 “looked at him with animosity” after that event.

Petko Pavlovic, defense attorney of defendant Srecko Boskovic, mentioned that SB-1 said that witness Nikolic was on the dam in July 1995, asking the witness whether he would accept facing witness SB-1.

“At any time,” Nikolic said.

He said he knew defendant Boskovic and he used to see him with SB-1’s older son, who also was in prison.

Testifying as the first prosecution witness in January this year, SB-1 said he heard that defendant Srecko Boskovic had admitted having killed a boy.

Boskovic is charged with having approached a boy after Serb soldiers had shot Bosniaks and buried their bodies on the Red Dam plateau in mid July 1995, and told the boy he was free to go. When the boy walked away, he shot him to death with an automatic weapon, according to the charges.

When asked by the defense whether he had ever heard that “Boskovic had anything to do with the dam,” the witness he hadn’t.

Defense witness Radovan Djokic said he had never been to the dam and did not know where it was.

The public was excluded from the part of the hearing when Djokic was questioned about witness SB-1.

After the end of the examination, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina proposed that witness SB-1 and defense witnesses Dusan Nikolic and Radovan Djokic face each other.
