“We shall need a total of 13 hours for proving the charges contained in the indictment. I would like to say that the estimated number of hours may change in the additional evidence presentation phase,” prosecutor Sanja Jukic said.
Markovic is charged with having raped a minor in July 1992. He allegedly threatening her, saying she should not tell anyone or he would rape her again and kill her family members. The indictment alleges that, as he was taking the girl out of her house, Markovic cursed the house’s “insurrectionist mothers” and fired a bullet in the air.
The defence said Markovic would testify in his own defence but could not say how many witnesses it would call.
“We still have not got precise data about the identity of all witnesses,” defence attorney Svetlana Lazic said.
The first prosecution witness will appear on September 14.
