The Appeals Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday confirmed the December 2018 verdict, which found former Bosnian Serb soldier Milan Todovic guilty of raping a Bosniak woman in the eastern Bosnian town of Foca during the 1992-5 war and holding her in sexual captivity.

But their trial remains on hold due to Djuric's sickness.

Nedim Salaharevic, who saw his brother, Edin, being killed in Vlasenica, told BIRN that he had been waiting for justice for years.

"This is yet another blow to victims … Djuric and Kraljevic were rulers of life and death in Vlasenica. I saw it with my own eyes, I watched them kill my brother, Edin," he said.

Bosnia's state court, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has confirmed an indictment charging a former Bosnian Serb policeman with crimes against humanity for leading an attack aimed at driving Bosniaks from the municipality of Bihac in 1992.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has charged Munib Ahmetspahic - who was previously acquitted of having a role in the 2011 attack on the US embassy in Bosnia - with membership of a terrorist formation in Syria.

Media experts have criticised the Bosnian State Court's request for a new law regulating media reporting on criminal cases, calling it an unwarranted attempt to interfere with journalists' reporting and work.

Media expert Mehmed Halilovic said the State Court's call for regulations on media reporting "lacked foundation".

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has sentenced Bosnian Serbs Momir Tasic to 14 years in prison and Petar Tasic to ten years for crimes committed in the town of Visegrad in eastern Bosnia in 1992 – while it acquitted Mirko Tasic.

Former Bosnian Serb soldier Radomir Susnjar, charged with participating in the murder of 57 people in the Visegrad area in 1992, pleaded not guilty on Friday before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The trial of former Bosnian Serb Army soldier Radomir Susnjar, charged with participating in the murder of 57 people in the Visegrad area, starts on Friday before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has acquitted war commander Naser Oric, whom Serbia is seeking for war crimes against prisoners of Serb ethnicity in the Bratunac and Srebrenica areas. The BiH Prosecutor's Office filed charges against Naser Oric and Sabahudin Muhic on August 27 2015.

Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik said on Tuesday that his ruling Alliance of the Independent Social Democrats, SNSD, was no longer pushing for a referendum on the jurisdiction of the state courts over the courts of the Serb-led entity, Republika Srpska.
