Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Witness U-4 said that he was “a mentally-ill man” and that he could not testify. This witness was due to testify in defence of indictee Dzeko, former member of “Zulfikar” Squad with the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ABiH.

“I remember almost nothing. I take sedatives every day,” he said, adding that he last visited a psychiatrist eight months ago.

Vasvija Vidovic, Defence attorney of indictee Dzeko, said that she stuck to her request for examination of this witness. 

“We would not insist of examining him, if he were not the direct eyewitness of the event charged upon Dzeko,” Vidovic said, adding that, in his previous statements the witness did not mention that he was not capable of testifying.
 
Trial Chamber Chairman Saban Maksumic said that a court expert in psychiatry would be engaged and that he would decide whether protected witness U-4 was capable of testifying.

Dzeko is on trial for committing murders of Croats in Trusina on April 16, 1993. Besides that, he is charged with crimes against Croat civilians and prisoners committed in Jablanica during the second half of 1993.

The trial is due to continue on December 10, when indictee Dzeko will testify in his defence.
