Former Bosnian Serb police official Ljubomir Borovcanin, who was jailed for 17 years for aiding the killings of Bosniaks from Srebrenica, was released after serving two-thirds of his sentence.
The Hague Tribunal rejected five former Bosnian Serb Army officers appeals against their convictions for war crimes including genocide against Bosniaks from Srebrenica in 1995.
A witness told the genocide trial of former Bosnian Serb police chief Goran Saric that he saw a truck full of bodies close to where 1,000 Bosniaks from Srebrenica were murdered.
The driver for ex-police commander Goran Saric, accused of the Srebrenica genocide, said that he was with his boss on the day of the massacre but never saw him commit any crime.
An order from the Minister of Internal Affairs came, saying that the Company should be deployed to Bratunac and put under Borovcanins command, said witness Luka Bogdanovic, who was Chief of the Police Section with the Public Safety Center in Zvornik at that time.
A decision on shooting Srebrenica residents was made during the night on July 11/12, 1995 between two meetings at which Republika Srpska Army, VRS Commander Ratko Mladic told Bosniaks that they could either survive or disappear, says military expert Richard Butler.
During the trial of Ratko Mladic for genocide in Srebrenica prosecutors play a film made by Belgrade journalist Zoran Petrovic-Pirocanac, depicting the bodies of tens of Srebrenica Muslims, who were killed in Kravica village, near Bratunac, two days after the occupation of Srebrenica by the Republika Srpska Army, VRS in July 1995.
Testifying before The Hague Tribunal, former Republika Srpska police officer Ljubomir Borovcanin says that after the fall of Srebrenica in July 1995 he did not know about a plan for the execution of Bosniaks and that it is hard for me to believe that Radovan Karadzic would consent to the murder of captives.
The trial of Ratko Mladic continues with testimony by Prosecution investigator Tomasz Blaszczyk about a film footage made by Belgrade journalist Zoran Petrovic Pirocanac in the Srebrenica surroundings following the occupation of the enclave by the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, in July 1995.
At the trial of four men indicted for genocide in Srebrenica, statements given by the three indictees during investigation that they were engaged in Potocari during the evacuation of the population in July 1995 but did not know about the killings in Kravica, are included in the evidence.
