The Bosnian state prosecution has requested that custody measures be extended for five persons suspected of kidnapping and killing passengers travelling by train in Strpci during the Bosnian war. The defense teams have requested that the court order prohibitive measures instead.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has terminated custody measures for Goran Popovic. The court determined that the reasons for the measures no longer exist.

The presentation of evidence at the Vitomir Rackovic trial was completed today, with the reading of a revised indictment by the state prosecution.

A protected witness testifying before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), said that Oliver Krsmanovic was one of the paramilitary fighters who killed Bosniak civilians by shutting them into a burning house.

Defense witness Milisav Jankovic said that former Bosnian Serb fighter Petar Kovacevic was a rank and file soldier, and not a commander.
