Testifying in defence of Radovan Karadzic, former Republika Srpska Army, VRS, officer Milenko Todorovic says that there was a plan to transfer more than a thousand Bosniak captives from Srebrenica to Bijeljina in July 1995.
Prosecutor Dermot Groome says at Ratko Mladics trial that the remains of 470 persons were found in a mass grave in Tomasica mine, announcing that he will present evidence about it in the spring, once the exhumation has been completed.
The continuation of the trial for mistreatment of prisoners of war, former members of the Territorial Defence, in Smoluca, Lukavac municipality, before the Cantonal Court in Tuzla has been postponed due to absence of one of the indictees.
By presenting statements by three Defence witnesses, former Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic tried to deny the existence of a plan for the forced persecution of Muslims and Croats from Bosanska Krajina, which is charged upon him.
As Mladics trial continues, a Hague Prosecution witness says that, in July 1995 the Main Headquarters of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, announced that captured Bosniaks from Srebrenica would be escorted to Batkovic detention camp, near Bijeljina, but they never arrived.
As the trial of Ratko Mladic continues, the Defence tries to deny the indictees responsibility for crimes in detention camps in the vicinity of Prijedor, where thousands of Bosniaks were held in the spring and summer of 1992.
On the fifth day of his testimony at Radovan Karadzics trial witness Momcilo Krajisnik says that ethnic cleansing was not the policy of Bosnian Serb leaders, as alleged under the indictment.
While being cross-examined at Ratko Mladics trial, a Hague Prosecutions military expert says that he is not diminishing the incidents that preceded the events in municipalities in Bosanska Krajina occupied by the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, from which most of non-Serb residents were taken to detention camps.
Testifying at Radovan Karadzics trial, Defence witness Momcilo Krajisnik denies that Serb political leaders were guilty of the bombing of Sarajevo, adding that the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, just responded to fire opened from the city.
