A Zenica Cantonal Prosecution witness fails to respond to an invitation to testify at the trial of Ranko and Zeljko Rakic and Stanko Markovic for the second time, so the Trial Chamber announces that he will be apprehended.

Presenting its closing statement, the Zenica Cantonal Prosecution says that it has proved Perica Adzics guilt for crimes in Zepce, while the Defence says that the indictee regrets for the crimes he committed, but the indictment is general and superficial.
