The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina files a motion asking the State Court to order one-month custody for Oliver Krsmanovic, who is suspected of crimes committed against Bosniak civilians in Visegrad, Rogatica and Rudo.
The State Prosecution has completed its exhumation in Oplosce village, Rogatica municipality, where the remains of three persons believed to have been killed in 1992 were found.

The trial for crimes committed in Rogatica, conducted before the War Crimes Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, begins with the reading of the indictment and the presentaiton of introductory arguments by the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During 2006 Bosnias war crimes chamber confirmed 19 indictments and passed nine verdicts handing out 130 years and four months of prison time in total.
