Bosnian war crimes suspect on temporary release According to a Tribunal statement today, the council, presided over by Bakone Moloto, approved the defense’s parole request whereby General Delic will be on temporary release in Sarajevo from December 11 to January 11. The prosecution did not raise any objection. Delic’s trial began on July 9 this year, and the prosecution is currently putting its case. The prosecution is expected to rest at the start of next year.
