Former Bosnian Serb soldier Visnja Acimovic told the court in Belgrade that she is not guilty of taking part in the shooting of 37 Bosniak men in Vlasenica during the war in June 1992.
The trial of Visnja Acimovic, who is accused of involvement in the shooting of 37 Bosniak men at Mracni Dol near the Susica detention camp in the Bosnian municipality of Vlasenica in June 1992, opened at Belgrade Higher Court on Monday.
Acimovic told the court that she was not guilty. She said that from the end of May 1992 until the beginning of July that year, she and her family were staying in Backa Topola in Serbia.
“On May 22, 1992, my eldest brother died [in the war]. A day or two after the funeral, me and my parents went to my sister’s, in Backa Topola, and we spent some 40 days there before going back to Vlasenica,” she said.
