The Defense of Franko Simatovic, former Serbian State Security (DB) deputy chief, has requested postponing the continuation of the trial, scheduled for March 1. The defense would like the case postponed until April 12, so the new team of lawyers would have enough time for preparation. Ex-State Security deputy chief’s team asks for continuance The motion that was published states that the new counsels, appointed after lawyer Zoran Jovanovic suddenly passed away in August, need additional time to prepare a defense strategy, because they still have not received the requested material and have not had time to review the existing 65,075 pages of material. Former DB chief Jovica Stanisic and his deputy Franko Simatovic are accused before the Hague Tribunal of committing war crimes against Croats and Muslims during wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1991 to 1995. They were arrested in March 2003, and their trail started in June 2009, though it has been postponed several times due to Stanisic’s poor health.
