Former Bosnian army chief to face trial

At the pre-trial conference, he stated he was “in good health” and that “the trial may start.”

Delić added that “as a soldier” he had no complaints about the conditions in the UN Detention Unit.

He returned to it on June 25, after he was provisionally released in May 2005.

“I didn’t expect a hotel,” the accused said.

Prosecutor Daryl Mundis will present the prosecution's case in his opening statement on July ninth. The first witnesses will be called the next day.
The trial might be a fairly quick affair, it seems, because the prosecution was told it would have a total of 170 hours—about 40 trial days—to present its case.

During that period, as presiding judge Moloto indicated, the prosecution will be allowed to call not more than 55 witnesses.

Apart from Judge Moloto, the Trial Chamber hearing the case against General Delić comprises Danish judge Frederik Harhoff, and Italian judge Flavia Lattanzi.

The prosecution team is led by American Daryl Mundis, while Vasvija Vidović, an attorney from Sarajevo, is the lead counsel for the defense.

The former Chief of the Bosnian Army Main Staff is charged with the crimes committed by the members of the El Mujahid unit between June 1993 and September 1995.

The prosecution alleges the unit was established on Delić’s orders and then subordinated to the command of the Bosnian Army Third Corps.

Delić is charged on the basis of command responsibility for his failure to prevent or punish the crimes committed by the mujahedin.
