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.
On January 30 the Appellate Chamber of the Hague Tribunal is due to pronounce a verdict against Vujadin Popovic and four other indictees, who were sentenced, under a first instance verdict, for genocide and other crimes in Srebrenica in July 1995.
Testifying at the trial of Ratko Mladic, former Republika Srpska Army, VRS, officer Zoran Malinic says that two day after the occupation of Srebrenica in July 1995, the indictee addressed captured Bosniaks and promised to them that they would be exchanged.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, Mirko Trivic says at Ratko Mladics trial that Radovan Karadzics directive issued in March 1995, instructing the VRS to create unbearable conditions for the life and survival of the Muslim population in Srebrenica and Zepa, represented some kind of sanctions on the enclaves.
Hague verdicts hold High Command under Ratko Mladic most responsible for the carnage in Srebrenica, along with active participation of Bosian Serb armys Drina Corps.
Two verdicts of genocide have already been pronounced for the slaughter of around 8,,000 men in Srebrenica in 1995. If Milorad Trbic is convicted of the same high crime, it will be a third.
