According to the charges, Ramo Hatidzic and Vahid Klisura were tortured by Miroslav Skoro, Dalibor Milos, Bosiljko Dilber and Ljubomir Dilber together with other people. Klisura was killed on that occasion.
“They found Bosnian Dinars in my possession. They forced me to eat them,” Hatidzic said.
When asked whether any of the indictees mistreated him on that day, Hatidzic said that Miroslav Skoro captured him and confiscated his rifle and bomb, and that other soldiers then took him over. The other indictees did not mistreat him.
He said that he had known Skoro and Milos since his school days and Bosiljko and Ljubomir Dilber “by sight”.
“I expected my neighbours to protect me,” Hatidzic repeated several times.
During the course of his testimony injured party Ramo Hatidzic mentioned Vjekoslav Rajic and Radoslav Rajic, who are not available to Bosnian judiciary and against whom an international warrant was issued, and a man called “Ceto” several times.
During the cross-examination Hatidzic specified that he saw Dalibor Milos sitting and holding a pistol.
Also, he said that he did not give a statement to Kiseljak police, which was used as evidence material.
Jasna Dundjer, Defence attorney of Bosiljko Dilber presented witness Hatidzic with his statement given to Hague Tribunal investigators and a subsequent statement given to investigators of the State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA, in which her client was not mentioned, and said that he mentioned him for the first time in his statements given later on, 15 years after the events.
“I was not present there. He could not have seen me. I think he made a mistake,” said indictee Bosiljko Dilber.
When asked by Sead Agic, Defence attorney of Ljubomir Dilber, whether his client beat him up, witness Hatidzic said that he was just present, “but he neither hit nor addressed me.”
Cantonal Prosecutor Sanja Hodzic said, in her introductory statement, that the indictment was based on statements given by several witnesses, a court expert’s findings and material evidence.
The Defence of Skoro and Milos did not want to present their introductory statements at this stage.
Jasna Dundjer, Defence attorney of Bosiljko Dilber, said that the indictment was rather broad and that her client was charged with not having done anything.
As she said, during the course of the trial she would prove that her client was not present at that location on that day.
Sead Agic, Defence attorney of Ljubomir Dilber, pointed out that the description of the crime “in the indictment does not even contain my client’s initials, let alone his full name.”
