Former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Tadija Mitrovic was charged with crimes against humanity for killing a Bosniak civilian during an attack on a village in the Bratunac area in May 1992. The Bosnian state prosecution said on Monday that it has issued an indictment charging ex-soldier Tadija Mitrovic with participating in the persecution of the Bosniak civilian population during a widespread and systematic attack by the Bosnian Serb Army and police in the Bratunac area during wartime.

Testifying at a trial before the District Court in Bijeljina, Defence witness Jusuf Muharemovic says that indictee Nezir Merdzic was in Hrnjcici village, Bratunac municipality, which is more than 15 kilometres away from Glogova, from May to November 1992.

Lawyers for ex-fighters Najdan Mladjenovic and Savo Zivkovic said the prosecution had not proved that they were guilty of attacking villages, killing civilians and torching houses in Bratunac in 1992.

Presenting its closing statement, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina requests the Court to pronounce Najdan Mladjenovic and Savo Zivkovic guilty of crimes committed in the Bratunac area in 1992 and sentence them in accordance with the law.

As the trial for crimes in Bratunac continues, an additional State Prosecution witness says that the ranks of the Reconnaissance Squad were filled in April and May 1992, but he does not know whether indictee Najdan Mladjenovic was a member of that Squad.

The trial of Nezir Merdzic, who is charged with crimes in Bratunac in 1992, before the District Court in Bijeljina has been postponed due to absence of Prosecution witness Samir Avdic.

Testifying in defence of Najdan Mladjenovic at the trial for crimes in Bratunac, a witness says that he saw masked soldiers, who gave him orders in relation to transportation of civilians, in Hranca village in May 1992.

At the trial of persons charged with crimes against humanity in Bratunac in May, 1992, the witness for the defence said that on the day houses in the village of Hranca burned, defendant Najdan Mladjenovic was, together with a group of neighbours, in nearby woods.

At the trial for the crime committed in Bratunac, the witness for the defence said that on May 3, 1992, he was together with defendant Najdan Mladjenovic in a grove near the village of Hranca, but that they did not see what was happening in the village.

As the trial for crimes in the Bratunac area continues, a Defence witness says that no communication system existed in 1992 and that individuals, who had money, could buy walkie-talkie devices.
