The trial of seven Bosnian Serbs charged with taking part in murders, illegal detentions, torture and other inhumane acts against Bosniaks and Croats in Kotor Varos will begin this month.
Former Bosnian Serb soldiers Bosiljko and Ostoja Markovic have been indicted by the state prosecution for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl in the Kotor Varos area in 1992.
The Bosnian State prosecution has asked for the State Court to impose a ban on Kotor Varos crimes suspects Bosiljko and Ostoja Markovic to leave the country.
The trial of former Bosniak fighter Dzevad Zec started in the Bosnian Serb city of Banja Luka with a witness claiming that the defendant bragged about killing a Serb civilian in 1992.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina files a motion, requesting the extension of prohibiting measures against eight indictees, who are charged with crimes in Kotor-Varos, while the Defence teams object to the proposed ban on witnesses and indictees meeting each other, because the ban would disturb their preparations for defence.
Four ex-members of the Kotor Varos territorial defence force were jailed for a total of 43 years for involvement in the killing of 16 Serb civilians in the village of Serdari in 1992.
Four former Bosniak Territorial Defence fighters accused of attacking the village of Serdari in 1992, when 16 Serb civilians were killed, called for not guilty verdicts as their trial concluded.
