A total of 40 live witnesses have been called by the prosecution. 98bis submissions will be made today and a judgement related to them is expected to be issued shortly thereafter. The Tribunal’s rules stipulate that at the end of the Prosecution’s case an accused can ask the Trial Chamber to acquit him of charges for which there was insufficient evidence. The Defence of Sredoje Lukić is scheduled to commence their case on Monday 24 November 2008. The Defence for Milan Lukic will present its case after the close of the case for Sredoje Lukic.
