The prosecution asked for the maximum sentence for former Bosnian Serb soldier Radomir Susnjar, who is on trial for killing 57 Bosniaks in a house that was set on fire in Visegrad in 1992. The prosecutor told the Bosnian state court in his closing statement on Thursday that Radomir Susnjar, alias Lalco, should be given the maximum possible prison sentence for his participation in the murder of 57 civilians in a house in Pionirska Street in Visegrad in June 1992.

Former reservist policeman Milorad Radakovic is seeking 7,675 euros in compensation after he was acquitted of murdering five members of a family in a village near Prijedor during the war in June 1992. A lawyer for Milorad Radakovic, who was acquitted of committing war crimes in the village of Tukovi in the Prijedor area in June 1992, said on Wednesday that he is seeking 15,000 Bosnian marks (7,675 euros) in compensation from the Bosnian state for the “mental suffering” he endured as a result of a restraining order imposed during his trial.

Enver Buza, the former commander of a Bosnian Army battalion, said he should be acquitted of charges of failing to punish his subordinates for killing 27 Croat civilians in an attack on the village of Uzdol in 1993. Enver Buza’s defence urged the Bosnian state court in Sarajevo on Tuesday to acquit him, arguing that his responsibility for the killings of Bosnian Croats in the village of Uzdol in the Prozor municipality in 1993 had not been proved during the trial.

Alminko Islamovic was convicted in April of the inhumane treatment of Serb civilians during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.

The crimes were committed in eastern Bosnia during a wave of ethnic cleansing by Bosnian Serb forces at the start of the 1992-95 war.

The victim was ‘convincing and consistent’ in her testimony, the judge said in the first instance verdict.

The Appeals Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has reduced the prison sentences for four Bosnian Serb former soldiers to a total of 59 years for participation in the murder of 28 civilians on Mount Borje, near the town of Teslic, in 1992. Under a first instance verdict in July last year, Dragan Marjanovic, Sasa Gavranovic, Vitomir Devic and Zoran Sljuka were each sentenced to 17 years in prison for the murders.

The court confirmed the seven-year prison sentence handed down to former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Milomir Davidovic for committing a crime against humanity by raping a woman in Foca in July 1992. The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court on Friday upheld the verdict convicting Milomir Davidovic of raping a Bosniak woman in Foca during the war in July 1992 and sentencing him to seven years in prison.

Bosnia’s state court increased the sentences imposed on former Bosnian Serb policemen Zoran Babic and Darko Mrdja to a total of 55 years for murders and other crimes against Bosniaks in the Prijedor area in 1992. The appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court ruled on Friday that sentences imposed on the two former Bosnian Serb policemen should be amalgamated, and that Zoran Babic should serve 35 years and Darko Mrdja 20 years.

Former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic appealed against a decision by the Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals to end a pilot project that allowed Hague detainees to use online video-telephone technology.
