Mladic trial enters second day

The second day of  Ratko Mladic’s trial started focusing on his role in the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995.

Prosecutor Peter McCloskey said Mladic’s guilt for the Srebrenica genocide is evident: “This was and will remain genocide… the evidence of this crime is overwhelming. We have radio intercepts of VRS [Bosnian Serb] soldiers and officers discussing murders. We have video of two of the actual executions themselves. So let me be perfectly clear, the crime will not be the main focus of this prosecution. This case will be primarily about one issue -the individual criminal responsibility of Ratko Mladic”.

Mladic is accused of orchestrating the killing of more than 7,000 Bosniak men and boys after the UN safe haven of Srebrenica was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995.
