The Bosnian state court announced on Thursday that its appeals chamber has sentenced Srecko Acimovic, the former commander of the Bosnian Serb Army Zvornik Brigade's Second Battalion, to seven years in prison for aiding and abetting the genocide of Bosniak men from Srebrenica in July 1995.

Dragan Vikic, the wartime commander of Bosnian interior ministry special police units in besieged Sarajevo, pleaded not guilty to involvement in the killing of eight Yugoslav People’s Army prisoners in 1992.

The Serb Republic (RS) police have prevented a terrorist attack in Janja, near Bijeljina, the Srna agency was told at the Public Security Center in Bijeljina.

Janja is also some 40 kilometers away from the town of Zvornik, where a terrorist attack was carried out earlier this year against a police station, during which an officer was killed.

Bosnia's two entities, the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska and the mainly Bosniak and Croat Federation entity, marked the day of mourning on Wednesday for the victim of Monday's terrorist attack in the eastern town of Zvornik.

A policeman, Dragan Djuric, was killed by a gunman and two other policemen were wounded.

A defence witness admitted at Ratko Mladic’s trial that some prisoners held by Bosnian Serb forces at the Rasadnik camp in Rogatica were murdered in 1992 by ‘extremists’.

A defence witness told Ratko Mladic’s trial that the Bosnian Serb Army put civilians of all ethnicities in a school in Rogatica in 1992 to protect them from the fighting in the area.

A defence witness told Ratko Mladic’s war crimes trial that the Bosnian Serb military and civilian authorities did not organise the expulsion of non-Serbs from the Rogatica area in 1992.

A defence witness told Ratko Mladic’s trial that non-Serb prisoners in Rogatica were not persecuted by the former Bosnian Serb military chief’s forces during wartime, as the indictment alleges.
