The transcripts were included, so the Trial Chamber would familiarise itself with the content of Obrenovics testimony. After having admitted guilt for crimes in Srebrenica, Obrenovic was sentenced by The Hague Tribunal to 17 years in prison.Obrenovic, former Deputy Commander of the Zvornik Brigade with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, was sentenced in 2003. He was released from prison in 2011 after having served two thirds of his sentence. Stanisic and Milosevic are on trial for having committed murders of about 1,000 Srebrenica residents on a dam, near Petkovci, in mid-July 1995. The indictment alleges that the captives were transported to the dam from a school building in which they were held.According to the charges, Stanisic was Commander of the Sixth Battalion of the Zvornik Brigade, while Milosevic was his Deputy. Had Obrenovic been in the courtroom, the Defence would have asked him whether he agreed that he did not issue an order to battalion commanders to put their subordinate soldiers at disposal for execution of captives from Srebrenica.Besides that, the Defence would have asked him whether he concluded, on the basis of his conversation with indictee Stanisic, that he disagreed with the murders and that he was not able to prevent them. The trial is due to continue on October 15.
