After a trial that lasted nearly five years, the case involving the Bosnian Army attack on the village of Trusina ended. Five former members of the Bosnian Army will receive their verdicts on Tuesday, September 01.
The Zeljko Stanarevic trial began with a reading of the indictment and the presentation of introductory statements by the Bosnian state prosecution. Stanarevic has been charged with crimes against humanity in the Bihac area.
The Bosnian state prosecution has proposed that the Zeljko Stanarevic trial be postponed for one month, as it expects that Serbia will extradite a suspected accomplice in the case.
In its closing statement, Bosnias state prosecution requested that a guilty verdict be handed down against former Bosniak fighters Mensur Memic, Dzevad Salcin, Senad Hakalovic, Nedzad Hodzic, and Nihad Bojadzic.
At the trial for crimes in Jablanica, Defence witnesses said how the accused Nihad Bojadzic was not present when a captured prisoner of Croatian Defence Council (HVO) was wounded in September 1993.
At the trial for crimes in Trusina, Konjic municipality, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, includes, in the case file, some documents by which it tries to deny the evidence presented by the Defence of indictee Nihad Bojadzic.
The prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina requested that the restrictive measures issued to Zeljko Stanarevic, who is charged with crimes committed in the territory of Bihac, be extended due to a risk of flight and influencing witnesses.
