A witness for the Defence said he and Zeljko Rakic were in Germany when his alleged crimes were committed.

The cantonal prosecution of Zenica presented material evidence at the trial of three former Bosnian Serb soldiers accused of murdering a civilian in the Zavidovici area.

A defense witness at the trial of three former Bosnian Serb soldiers said she heard that civilian Zuhra Husanovic was killed by crossfire from the frontlines, and not by the defendants.

A defense witness said his testimony in the case of Ranko Rakic, Zeljko Rakic and Marko Stankovic changed over time because he remembered details he’d forgotten during the investigation.

The defense teams of Ranko Rakic, Zeljko Rakic and Marko Stankovic objected to a witness statement presented by the cantonal prosecution of Zenica, on the grounds that it represented an amendment to the investigation.

A prosecution witness testifying at the trial of Ranko Rakic, Zeljko Rakic and Marko Stankovic said it was impossible to use infantry weapons at the site where civilians in the village of Kucice were killed.

Damir Marjanovic, a court expert testifying at the trial of three former members of the Bosnian Serb Army, confirmed that skeletal remains exhumed in Kucice belonged to murder victim Zuhra Husanovic. Marjanovic conducted the examination at the Institute for Genetic Engineering, using a reserve DNA sample of the skeletal remains.
