Srebrenica trial resumes
The war crimes trial of seven Serb military officers over the 1995 Srebrenica massacre resumed here Monday with fresh condemnation of Serbia's "scandalous" refusal to arrest top suspect Ratko Mladic.
In her opening statement, chief UN war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte said the accused were among the "most responsible" for the slaughter in the eastern Bosnian town, but she condemned Serbia for allowing top suspect Mladic to remain at large.
"This trial is an important step... These seven men, serving under Mladic and (general Zdravko) Tolimir, are the most responsible for the crimes committed in Srebrenica," Del Ponte said in her opening statement.
