The Bosnian state prosecution demanded a longer jail sentence for Vitomir Rackovic, who has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for crimes committed in Visegrad under a first instance verdict. In a written appeal, Rackovic’s defense asked the court to either acquit him of charges or repeal the verdict.

The state court has transferred three cases involving crimes committed in the Skender Vakuf, Gorazde and Sanski Most areas to lower instance courts.

The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court has confirmed a verdict which sentences Ibro Macic, a former member of the Bosnian Army’s military police and a former guard in the Musala detention camp, to ten years in prison for crimes committed in the Konjic area.

Former Territorial Defence fighter Fikret Planincic’s 11-year prison sentence for taking part in the 1992 killings of nine Serb civilians, including two children, has been upheld on appeal.

The trial of four former members of the Bosnian Army charged with war crimes in the Rogatica and Foca area has been postponed, as issues related to protection measures for a witness in the case still haven’t been resolved.

The Bosnian state prosecution filed an indictment against seven former policemen from Janja, charging them with crimes against humanity in the north-eastern town from 1992 to 1994.

The trial of four former members of the Bosnian Army charged with crimes in Rogatica and Foca has been postponed, because the court determined that a protected witness in the case needed a legal counselor.

A status conference was held today in the case of Goran Saric, who’s been charged with participating in the Srebrenica genocide. The state prosecution said it would most probably know which foreign citizens with lifted UN immunity would agree to testify in the next two weeks.
