But presiding judge Minka Kreho said the prosecution had not been able to prove that Zmijanjac committed the crime as part of a widespread and systematic attack in the Prijedor area.

She also said that the prosecution had not been able to prove that Zmijanjac was a member of any military or police unit.

The verdict can be appealed.
