The beginning of the retrial of Bosko Lazic, who is charged with giving a false testimony at a war-crime trial, has been postponed as the Defence attorney of the indictee failed to appear before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

At the trial for crimes committed in the municipality of Hadzici, the witness, Milorad Petric, described physical abuse and harassment in the school in Pazaric, the Krupa barracks and Silos camp between 1992 and 1996.

The trial of Ratko Mladic, former Commander of the Republika Srpska Army, who is charged with genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, continues before the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague behind closed doors.

Journalists and representatives of judicial institutions in Trebinje are satisfied with their mutual co-operation, but they agree that it could be further improved by educating journalists on reporting court proceedings.

During the presentation of evidence at the trial of the indictee Eso Macic, the Prosecution tried to prove that he participated in the killings and beatings of prisoners in the Celebici and Musala detention camps in Konjic, while the Defence denied the allegations. The Trial Chamber is to pronounce its verdict on November 15.

When the Trial Chamber entered the courtroom, the prosecutor, Behaija Krnjic, asked that the defendant Vlahovic be warned about his behaviour in the courtroom.

At the trial of Oliver Krsmanovic, who is charged with crimes in Visegrad, a protected State Prosecution witness says that she heard that the indictee was present in Rodic Brdo village when the men were taken away, and that he participated in the rape of one person.

Testifying at the trial of five ex members of the Croatian Defence Forces, HOS, a prosecution witness described rapes in the Dretelj camp.

A State Prosecution witness confirms, while testifying before the State Court, that he was in the attic of his house in Hranca village, Bratunac municipality on May 3, 1992 and saw indictee Najdan Mladjenovic pointing to houses that his soldiers should set on fire that day.

Testifying at the trial of Radovan Karadzic, a former Bosnian Serb army officer denied that in 1992 the army expelled Bosniaks from the Sarajevo neighbourhood of Vrace, where his unit was stationed.
