During the two years of the trial, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has sought to prove that Dusko Jevic, Mendeljev Djuric, Goran Markovic and Nedjo Ikonic committed genocide by participating in the forcible resettlement of Bosniaks and the killing of more than 1,000 men in Kravica, while the Defence believes that they were conducting legitimate police operations.

As the trial of the four indictees, who are charged with genocide in Srebrenica, continues, the Defence of indictee Stanko Kojic announces that the indictee will testify in his defence again.

At the trial of four people charged with genocide in Srebrenica, witnesses who were testifying about the execution of prisoners at the Branjevo Military Academy on July 16, 1995, were being confronted.

A former member of the Tenth Reconnaissance Squad of the Main Headquarters with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS says at the trial for genocide in Srebrenica that he was not present on Branjevo military farm in July 1995, when captives were shot, adding that he found out about it later.

At the trial of defendants charged with genocide in Srebrenica, a witness for the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina said that Muslims in Srebrenica did not have weapons which they could use to put up resistance to Bosnian Serbs in July 1995. Joseph Kingori, former UN military observer in Srebrenica, said that Muslims in Srebrenica only had light firearms and because of that they were not able to put up meaningful resistance to the army of Bosnian Serbs.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentences Momir Pelemis to 16 and Slavko Peric to 19 years' imprisonment for assisting in the commission of genocide in Srebrenica in July 1995.
