Bosnian Serb Army's Second Krajina Corps

Six Bosnian Serb ex-servicemen - Ilija Krcmar, Bosko Uncanin, Svetislav Racic, Zeljko Bajic and two others who both have the name Nikola Cuk - failed to appear at the Bosnian state court on Tuesday for the opening of their trial for crimes against humanity.

Two more defendants, Marinko Miljevic and Dragan Despot, did appear in court, and both pleaded not guilty.

Interpol has called for the arrest of former Bosnian Army soldier Esed Abdagic, who is charged with killing a Bosnian Serb prisoner of war in Bihac in 1993, after a request from a court in the north-western Bosnian town.
