Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik claims the final verdict in Radovan Karadzic’s trial will be unfair, while Bosniak war victims’ groups want a tougher sentence - suggesting that the ruling will only perpetuate ethnic divides in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As Radovan Karadzic’s final verdict approaches, witnesses who testified against the former Bosnian Serb political leader recall how they felt when they spoke about his alleged crimes to his face in the courtroom.

In closing arguments at former police special forces member Milan Bogdanovic’s trial, the defence urged the court to acquit the defendant of the forced displacement, unlawful detention and forced disappearances of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in 1995.

In closing statements, former Bosnian Serb fighter Sasa Cvetkovic’s defence called for him to be acquitted of murdering two Roma women and raping two Bosniaks in the Srebrenica and Bratunac areas in 1992. Sasa Cvetkovic’s defence on Monday called for the former fighter to be cleared of killing two female Roma civilians in Sase in the Srebrenica municipality in May 1992 and raping two women in Bratunac in June the same year.
