The defence lawyer for Dragomir Vasic urged the Bosnian state court in Sarajevo on Monday to clear his client of assisting in the forcible resettlement of Bosniaks from Srebrenica in July 1995 as well as the capture and execution of men and boys in Bratunac, Srebrenica and Zvornik.

According to media reports, there had instead been "a malfunction on the (electric power) transmission lines" in the area.

Earlier on Monday, the locals reported to the police that "at around 12.30 pm, a helicopter crashed in the area of ​​Bratunac in inaccessible terrain."

Bosnia's House of Representatives adopted an official statement about the recent attack on a police station in the eastern town of Zvornik after almost a day of ethnically-charged debates.

On Thursday evening, MPs adopted a conclusion condemning the attack on Zvornik police station as a terrorist act.
