State Prosecutor Behaija Krnjic explained one of the pieces of material evidence, indicating that, on July 24, 1992 Zoran Mihajlovic of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, MUP, of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, tried to locate Zoran Dragicevic, who was among the people who “committed crimes in Grbavica”.
Dusko Tomic, Defence attorney of indictee Dragicevic, said that the mentioned piece of material evidence could not be included in the case file without examining inspector Mihajlovic, announcing that the Defence would invite him to testify as its witness.
Prosecutor Krnjic presented an official document issued by the Section for Soldiers, Disabled Veterans and Civil Protection from Bijeljina, indicating that indictee Dragicevic participated in the war and that he was a member of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Zoran Dragicevic, also known as Krompir, former member of VRS, with having committed war crimes against non-Serb civilians in Grbavica, Kovacici and Vraca neighbourhoods, Sarajevo. Those crimes included rape and sexual abuse of victims, torture, robbing and beating civilians.
The Prosecution also presented medical findings pertaining to injured party A-1, which were prepared by University Clinical Centre medical staff in Sarajevo in 1995. According to the charges, Dragicevic brought protected witness A-1 to an apartment and raped her in July 1993.
Also, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina examined a court expert in dactyloscopy, who presented her findings and opinion about the identification of indictee Dragicevic’s fingerprints.
Court expert Selma Sikalo said that she used indictee Dragicevic’s personal identification card and dactyloscopic card, containing the indictee’s fingerprints, which had been obtained from the State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA.
“By comparing the documents, it has been determined that the fingerprints on the identification card and documents obtained from the SIPA belong to the same person, namely Zoran Dragicevic,” Sikalo said.
The trial is due to continue on May 29.
