The Prosecutor also presented a series of documents about the activities of the 9thMountain Brigade of ABiH and Nezir Kazic as its Commander. Most of the documents were actually orders, which were not explained individually during the hearing

According to the charges, Kazic was Commander of the 9th Mountain Brigade of ABiH and Hujic, just like Halid Covic, was Manager and Deputy Manager of “Silos”. Mesanovic was one of the Deputy Managers of “Silos” and Manager of a detention camp in “Krupa” barracks, while Kalember was a guard in “Silos”. The other indictees were members of civil and police authorities.

The Prosecutor said that, on the basis of the documents included in the case file, one could see who was responsible for “Silos” and “Krupa”, adding that they also mentioned the works performed on the frontlines.
