Case: Adzic Perica

Perica Adzic, a former member of the Croatian Defence Council, was jailed for four years for war crimes against wounded prisoners at an improvised medical unit in Zepce in 1993.

Presenting its closing statement, the Zenica Cantonal Prosecution says that it has proved Perica Adzic’s 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”.

The court expert, Ljubica Todorovic, concluded that the defendant, Perica Adzic, suffered from the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder caused by a war trauma.

As the trial of Mate Martic continues, Defence witness Josip Bulajic says that the localities in the Zepce area at which, as indicated in the indictment, crimes were committed were under the control of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, the whole time during the conflict with the Croatian Defence Council, HVO.

Testifying in his defence at the trial for crimes in Zepce, indictee Perica Adzic admits that it is possible that he shot Nermin Purak, who was wounded, in 1993, but he cannot remember clearly, because he was drunk.

As the trial of Perica Adzic, who is charged with crimes in Zepce, continues, a court expert in psychiatry says before the Zenica Cantonal Court that some of the injured parties suffer from post-traumatic disorder and that they need medical treatment.

The trial of former Croatian Defence Council fighter Perica Adzic was told that he mistreated sick and wounded people who were being treated at a school in Zepce in 1993.
