Former Bosnian Serb leader defense lawyer claimed on Tuesday that: "Some day some intercept from the United States or some information will come about and prove conclusively that Radovan Karad?i? didn't know anything about these executions. If Karad?i? had contact with people like Derenich who did have knowledge of the executions, you can't just assume that they informed him of the killings."
Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic attended the second day of his appeal hearing against a sentence for genocide and war crimes, which was held at the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (MICT) in The Hague.
In March 2016 a UN tribunal for the former Yugoslavia found Karadzic guilty of 10 out of 11 counts of genocide, war crimes and other atrocities committed during the Bosnian War. Some of the charges were linked to involvement in the Srebrenica massacre of July 1995.
Bosnian Serb soldiers slaughtered nearly 8,000 Muslim men and boys in a "safe area" which was supposed to be protected by Dutch peacekeeping forces from the UN.
