Former Bosnian Serb detention camp manager Dragan Nikolic, who admitted participating in the murders, rape and torture of Bosniak prisoners in 1992 and apologised to his victims, has died.
The state prosecution asked for seven Bosnian Serb ex-fighters suspected of seizing 20 passengers from a train in 1993 and killing them to be remanded in custody.
Under a decision by The Hague tribunal president Theodor Meron, the former commander of the Susica camp in Vlasenica Dragan Nikolic was granted early release, after having served two-thirds of his 20 year sentence.
By examining witness Zoran Jovanovic at his trial before The Hague Tribunal, former Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic defends himself from the charges for persecution of Muslims from Vlasenica municipality, which, according to the indictment, reached the scale of genocide.
The Institute for Missing Persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina has confirmed that the human remains off 11 victims have been found at a mass grave at Trnovo in the municipality of Sekovici.
The defence of Ratko Mladic, during cross-examination of the witness, Ibro Osmanovic, pointed out that in the summer of 1992, the Susica camp near Vlasenica was ran by the Bosnian Serb police and not the army.
The testimony of Hague convict Dragan Nikolic, known as Jenki, at the trial of Zarije Ostojic, who is charged with crimes in Susica detention camp, Vlasenica municipality, has been postponed for an indefinite period of time, because not all of his requests have been fulfilled.
The trial of Zarije Ostojic, who is charged with crimes in the Susica detention camp, near Vlasenica, has been postponed, because court police were not able to find a witness, who was due to testify for the Eastern Sarajevo District Prosecution, at the address reported as his place of residence.
Hague Prosecution witnesses testifying at Radovan Karadzics trial speak about the detention, beating and murder of the Bosniak population in Vlasenica and Bratunac in 1992.
