26 August 2008  The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina announces that it will examine seven witnesses and one court expert in an attempt to prove guilt of the indictee, who is charged with crimes against Bosnian Serbs from the Konjic area.

The trial of Zrinko Pincic is due to start on September 8, when the Prosecution will present its introductory arguments, read the indictment and examine protected witness A, who is an injured party in this case.

Zrinko Pincic, former member of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, is charged with crimes against civilians in Konjic in 1992 and 1993. The Prosecution considers that the indictee, who was "armed and dressed in military uniform", took out witness A from a house in Donje selo village, where Serbian civilians were detained, and sexually abused her several times.

In the course of presenting evidence, the State Prosecution will examine seven witnesses and one court expert and it will present 25 pieces of material evidence.

Defence attorney Velimir Maric announced that he would invite about 15 witnesses. While he was reading their names at a public session, he breached witness A's protection measures by disclosing a name of her family member, who will testify as a Defence witness.

Trial Chamber Chairwoman Minka Kreho warned Maric, telling him that disclosing protected witnesses' names was considered a criminal offence. She ordered him to take this into consideration in the future.
