The examination of demographics expert Svetlana Radovanovic was postponed after prosecutor Predrag Tomic complained about not having received all the documents used for preparing her findings.

“We must follow the court expert,” prosecutor Tomic said. The trial chamber accepted his proposal.

Ostoja Stanisic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army’s Sixth Battalion of the Zvornicka Brigade, and Marko Milosevic, his deputy, are on trial for the mass killing of approximately 1000 Srebrenica civilians on a dam near Petkovci in mid-July 1995.

According to the indictment, the prisoners were held in a new school building in Petkovci prior to being taken to the dam. The Sixth Battalion of the Zvornicka Brigade was located in Petkovci.

The trial will continue on October 14, when Radovanovic will present her findings.
