The Appeals chamber of the Bosnian State court will render its verdict at the trialof the four ex-policemen from Republika Srpska charged with murdering more than 150 Bosniak civilians on Koricanske Stijene, near Mount Vlasic.

Several pieces of material evidence were presented during the continuation of the retrial of four indictees who are charged with crimes at Koricanske stijene in August 1992.
As the trial for crimes in Koricanske stijene in August 1992 continues, defendant Dusan Jankovic said that as a police inspector, who worked on logistic issues, he signed documents in the name of Simo Drljaca, former commander of the Prijedor police.
At the retrial of four indictees who are charged with crimes at Koricanske stijene, Defence witnesses change their statements given during the first instance trial and investigation, saying that they actually did not see indictee Dusan Jankovic at that locality on Mount Vlasic on August 21, 1992.
