Nenad Tanaskovic hospitalised

19 January 2007  Nenad Tanaskovic’s defence lawyer has said that due to the worsening health condition the indictee, charged with crimes committed in Visegrad, he was transferred from detention into hospital on January 12.

The prosecution’s and defence’s opening statements and reading of the charges at the trial of Nenad Tanaskovic have been postponed because the indictee was not able to appear at the trial.

Tanaskovic is one of dozens of detainees who are currently on hunger strike requesting that ex-Yugoslav criminal legislation be used in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, rather than current BiH practices, says his defence counsel Dragan Borovcanin.

Borovcanin noted that the health of Tanaskovic, who is disabled, has been worsened by the hunger-strike.

On October 9, 2006 the Court of BiH confirmed the indictment against Nenad Tanaskovic, which includes seven counts of crimes against humanity committed in or around Visegrad during the 1992-1995 war.

Tanaskovic is a former soldier in the army of Republika Srpska. He pleaded not guilty on October 25, 2006.

Dragan Borovcanin “guesses” that his clients recovery could take up to 15 days “because he is on constant therapy and his condition is quite bad”. Borovcanin said that Tanaskovic is currently being kept on an intravenous drip.

The Trial Chamber said that it hoped that a period of two weeks would be sufficient for Tanaskovic’s recovery and scheduled the beginning of the trial for February 2, 2007.
