The trial of Kosovo Serbs Miroslav Vuckovic and Bozur Bisevac on the charge of genocide resumes on 7 December. The panel of the District Court in Kosovska Mitrovica has ex officio summoned five witnesses, assessing that the testimonies of the 23 witnesses for the prosecution heard so far have not made it possible to establish whether Vuckovic and Bisevac committed the crime of genocide. Judge Mahmut Halimi, who presides the panel, said the court needed testimonies of the new witnesses in order to determine the facts of the case.
The trial of six Kosovo Serbs on the charge of genocide opens before the District Court in Kosovska Mitrovica on 5 December. Igor Simic, one of the defendants, has been in custody for the past 15 months. Co-defendants Dragan Jovanovic, Srdjan Aleksic, Vlastimir Aleksic, Branislav Popovic and Tomislav Vuckovic in the meantime escaped from the District Prison in Kosovska Mitrovica and will be tried in absentia. Prosecutor Muharem Ramadani has charged the six Serbs with “deliberately killing Albanians, forcing them in an organized and systematic manner to move out, plundering and destroying their property, all with the aim of completely or partly destroying the Albanian community in Kosovska Mitrovica.”

The District Court in Kosovska Mitrovica on 16 November found Nenad Pavicevic guilty of murdering three members of the Hajrizi family and sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

Gligorovski was arrested a year ago while Pavicevic was tried in absentia.
