Presenting its closing statement at the trial for crimes at Koricanske stijene, the State Prosecution says that most of the escorts in the convoy of civilians, who were traveling from Prijedor to Travnik on August 21, 1992, knew about the plan to execute murders.

Twenty years since the start of the war in Bosnia, the Republika Srpska government in Prijedor is still refusing to accept the unthinkable war crimes which occurred there, claim representatives of victims associations.

In its opening arguments, the Hague prosecution outlined six strategic goals that Bosnian Serb leadership wanted Mladic to achieve.

Testifying at the trial for crimes at Koricanske stijene, a Prosecution witness says that he did not perform surgery on a dog at his place in August 1992, as indictee Branko Topola said while testifying in his defence.

Bosnia is still divided and this has betrayed victims and the entire country, which is still not functional, says Ed Vulliamy, a British journalist famed for his reporting from the Bosnian war.

British journalist Ed Vulliamy says at the trial of Radovan Karadzic, that prisoners, whom he saw in Omarska detention camp in August 1992, looked horrified, describing prisoners, who were held in Trnopolje detention camp, as skeletons.

During cross examination of witness Mevludin Sejmenovic, indictee Radovan Karadzic said that Serb forces in April 1992 took over control of Prijedor to stop Muslim extremists.

Witness Kerim Mesanovic testified at Radovan Karadzic's trial at The Hague, speaking about the abuse and murder of Bosniaks in the Omarska detention camp in the summer of 1992, after Serb forces took over the control over Prijedor.

Several hundred former detainees from Prijedor and their families have gathered in Omarska to commemorate August 6th, the day when the disassembly of this camp began 18 years ago.

Momcilo Mandic told the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, that paramilitary formations were not controlled by the Serbian army or politicians in 1992, adding that the central government of Republika Srpska, RS, was not in charge of municipal crisis committees.
