Lt. Col. Grujic is an expert who can introduce numerous pieces of
evidence and provide a lot of statistical data on killed and missing
persons, said Nice, announcing that Grujic would testify on Monday
and Tuesday.
Grujic was present during exhumations and his report is accompanied
by an enormous amount of documents, said prosecutor Hildegard Uertz
Retzfall, who will be examining the witness.
So far, the prosecutor has called around a half of 70 listed
witnesses in the Croatian part of the proceedings against
Milosevic, who is indicted for genocide in Bosnia and war crimes and
crimes against humanity in Croatia and Kosovo.
