Case: Saric Goran Archives

Appeals judges confirmed the acquittal of the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Interior Ministry’s special police brigade, Goran Saric, clearing him of involvement in the Srebrenica genocide in 1995. The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court has rejected a prosecution appeal as unfounded and confirmed the verdict that found former special police brigade commander Goran Saric not guilty of involvement in the genocide of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in July 1995, BIRN has learned.

Former special police commander Goran Saric was acquitted of involvement in genocide in Srebrenica in 1995 as the court ruled he was not necessarily aware of the plan to murder the town’s Bosniak population.

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.

Milos Stupar, a witness in the Goran Saric trial, said he didn’t see the defendant in Bratunac and Zvornik on July 13, 1995, or past July 15, 1995. He said he didn’t communicate with Saric in any way during that period of time. In 2010, the state court acquitted Stupar of charges of genocide in Srebrenica under a second instance verdict.

The state prosecution introduced more than 100 pieces of evidence at the trial of Goran Saric, who is charged with genocide in Srebrenica.

A state prosecution witness testifying at the Goran Saric trial said he witnessed the murder of two Bosniak men on the road between Konjevic Polje and Bratunac.

The Goran Saric trial has been postponed.

A state prosecution witness at the Goran Saric trial said the defendant wasnt in Bratunac in July 1995, the location of his alleged crimes.

The examination of Mendeljev Djuric, a witness at the Goran Saric trial, has been postponed.

The state prosecution presented transcripts of testimony given by Camila Omanovic and Miroslav Deronjic at the Hague Tribunal at the Goran Saric trial.
