Case: Kuvelja Bozidar Archives

The Appellate Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirms a first instance verdict, under which Bozidar Kuvelja was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity committed in the Srebrenica area in July 1995.

The Prosecution requested from the Appeals Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina a retrial or a harsher sentence for Bozidar Kuvelja, who was sentenced by a first instance verdict to 20 years for the crime committed in Srebrenica.

During the eighteen-month long trial of Bozidar Kuvelja, who is indicted of shooting of men from Srebrenica inside and in front of the Kravica Farming Co-operative (Bratunac municipality) in July 1995, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina tried to prove that the indictee committed genocide, while the Defence tried to argue against this.

The Bosnian State Court will deliver its verdict in the case of Bozidar Kuvelja, charged with taking part in the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, on January 11 next year.

The trial of Bozidar Kuvelja, who is charged with genocide in Srebrenica, has been postponed again, because the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has not been able to secure the presence of protected witness PW-100.

At the trial of Bozidar Kuvelja, who is charged with genocide in Srebrenica, the Trial Chamber conditions the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina to enable the Defence to examine protected witness PW-100 or else a transcript of his testimony before the Hague Tribunal will not be admitted as evidence.

At the trial of Bozidar Kuvelja, who is charged with genocide against the residents of Srebrenica, the State Prosecutor reads a summary of a statement given by the late Luka Markovic, containing a description of shooting of prisoners in Kravica Agricultural Co-operative, near Bratunac in July 1995. Prosecutor Ibro Bulic said that Markovic was Manager of the Co-operative in Kravica, when Srebrenica residents were brought to the Co-operative by 17 buses on July 13, 1995.

At the trial of Bozidar Kuvelja, who is charged with genocide in Srebrenica, the Prosecution submits new transcripts of witnesses' statements. The Trial Chamber says that it will decide on whether to accept them or not once it has read them.

Bozidar Kuvelja, who is charged with genocide in Srebrenica, is negotiating a guilt admission agreement with the State Prosecution, one year after the beginning of the trial.

Two Defence witnesses say at the trial for genocide in Srebrenica, that as far as they know, Bozidar Kuvelja is a well-raised guy and that they have never heard that he did anything bad during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
