Genocide in BiH Archives

Testifying for the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the trial for genocide in Srebrenica, Dean Manning confirms that remains that were found in graves around Srebrenica suggest that the men were killed as prisoners, not as soldiers in combats.

In its closing statement the Defence of Momir Pelemis says that the Prosecution has not proved the indictee's guilt, calling on the Court to acquit him of the charges that he committed genocide in Srebrenica.

The indictment against Ratko Mladic, the commander of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), is to be split in two, resulting in two separate trials.

Haso Hasanovic from Srebrenica saw Ratko Mladic, the then Commander of the Republika Srpska Army, in July 1995. He says that he will never forget the encounter.

Bosnia's Security Minister Sadik Ahmetovic says that Ratko Mladic's arrest is the most important event in the post-war history of the Balkans, adding that this goes to show that there is no safe haven for war crime indictees.

At a trial for genocide committed in Srebrenica, a protected Prosecution witness recalls surviving a shooting on Branjevo military farm, Zvornik municipality, in July 1995. The protected witness, who testified under the pseudonym of Z2, said that after an attack by the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, on Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, many civilians, himself included, were taken to the Cultural Centre in Pilica, Zvornik municipality.

The trial of Bozidar Kuvelja, who is charged with genocide committed in Srebrenica, begins with the reading of the indictment and presentation of introductory arguments by the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Defence.

At the trial of four indictees charged with genocide committed in Srebrenica, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina presents several pieces of material evidence.

A military expert witness, testifying at the trial for genocide committed in Srebrenica, says that indictee Momir Pelemis did not participate in crimes committed in July 1995. Presenting his findings and opinion in favour of Momir Pelemis's Defence, Radovan Radinovic said that, on the basis of documents submitted to him, he determined that the first indictee was neither present at the Kula school building in Pilica nor did he participate in the removal of bodies.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina asked the State Court to postpone for one month the trial for crimes committed at Branjevo military farm in 1995 because the extradition of another Srebrenica genocide suspect is expected.
