The Bosnian state court has ordered the immediate release of ten genocide and war crimes convicts because the wrong criminal code was used at their trials.
The State Court ordered custody in the case of Zoran Maric, suspected of crimes committed in the villages of Ljoljici and Cerkazovici, in Jajce Municipality.
In their closing arguments the Defence teams once again deny the allegations contained in the indictment, while the Prosecution calls on the Court to hand down long sentences in the case of the two indictees, who are charged with crimes committed in the Jajce area.
A Prosecution witness claims to have survived the shooting of residents of Cerkazovici and Ljojici villages, which took place in Tisovac village in September 1992.
In 2007, the Court of BiH ordered custody for 29 war crimes suspects, some of whom were eventually indicted, while others were released without charge.
