Bosnia and Herzegovina marks on Saturday the twentieth anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre.

More than 8000 Bosnian Mulsim men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces in the worst war crime in Europe since the end of the Second World War.

Dusko Dabetic, a Serb sought by officials in Bosnia and Herzegovina for alleged war crimes committed during the Bosnian War, has been extradited by Turkey.

Dabetic arrived in Sarajevo at 7:31 p.n. local time on April 17 aboard a Turkish Airlines scheduled flight accompanied by two Bosnian police officers.

The UN's Yugoslav war crimes court on Jan. 30 upheld life convictions of two Bosnian Serbs for their role in the Srebrenica massacre of almost 8,000 Muslim men and boys in 1995.
      
The Appeal Chamber "affirms the life sentence" against former Bosnian Serb Vujadin Popovic, 57, and Ljubisa Beara, 75, Judge Patrick Robinson said at a hearing at the Hague-based tribunal.

A defence witness at Ratko Mladic’s war crimes trial said Serb forces did not persecute Bosniaks and Croats in the Sanski Most area, but responded to a real armed threat.

Former Bosnian Serb political leader Karadzic wants the Hague Tribunal to reopen his defence case to admit confidential cables from Western ambassadors he believes will help prove his innocence.

Karadzic verdict could be turning point in BiH

Experts and officials said that the Karadzic verdict could help unify BiH.

Victims are hoping for a fair verdict in the recently-concluded trial of suspected war criminal Radovan Karadzic, which experts say could improve the relationship between the two entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

A witness at the war crimes trial of Ratko Mladic said that Serb troops held civilians at a school in Rogatica in 1992 to protect them from fighting, not to persecute or abuse them.

Judges in Radovan Karadzic’s trial have retired to consider their verdict after the former Bosnian Serb leader told the Hague Tribunal he had a “clear conscience” and expected acquittal.

Defense: No evidence of genocide

THE HAGUE -- Defense of Radovan Karadzic, the American Peter Robinson, had asked the court to dismiss the second charge of the indictment dealing with genocide.

In closing arguments at Radovan Karadzic’s trial, his lawyer said the Bosnian Serb ex-leader didn’t order or know anything about the killings of 7,000 Muslims so wasn’t guilty of genocide.
