ICTY Weekly Press Briefing

Date: 27.04.2005

Time: 12.15


Registry and Chambers:

Jim Landale, Spokesman for Registry and Chambers, made the
following statement:


Good afternoon,


Yesterday evening, we received
two Decisions issued by Judge Orie confirming and
unsealing an indictment against Ivica Marijacic
and Markica Rebic, and an indictment against Stjepan
Seselj and Domagoj Margetic for contempt of the
Tribunal, pursuant to Rule 77 of the Tribunal’s
Rules of Procedure and Evidence.


Both indictments relate to the
publication, in Croatia in November last year, of
statements given by a protected witness or protected
witnesses to the Office of the Prosecutor and transcripts
of the testimony that witness or those witnesses
gave in closed session at the Tribunal during the
trial of Tihomir Blaskic in 1997 and 1998.


In the Decisions, Judge Orie ordered
the Prosecutor to inform the Registrar in writing
within seven days about the known whereabouts of
the four accused. Judge Orie also ordered the Registrar
to take all necessary steps to serve the indictments
on the accused.


Copies of Judge Orie’s Decisions
and the two indictments will be made available to
you after this briefing.


We have received a scheduling order
from the Rule 11 bis Referral Bench for a
hearing on the Prosecutor’s Motion of 29 November
2004 to refer the case against Gojko Jankovic to
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Referral Bench has scheduled
a hearing for 12 May 2005, at 2.15 p.m. The Bench
has also invited the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina
to attend the hearing and present oral submissions,
should it wish to do so.


I would also like to draw your
attention to a detailed scheduling order issued
by the Judges in the Krajisnik case, to enable "the
parties to better organize and present their cases
within the allotted time frame
" and which "gives
the Accused notice of when he can expect to receive
the Chamber’s judgement
". The order covers the
period from April 2005 until the delivery of the
Judgement in the case, which, the Judges Order,
"shall be delivered on or before Friday 28 April
2006
".


Other dates specified in the order
are:


The Prosecution to close its case on or before
22 July 2005
Oral submissions on any Defence Rule 98 bis
motion for a acquittal to be heard on 16 August
2005
A Decision on any Rule 98 bis motion
for acquittal to be rendered on or before 19 August
2005
Should there be a Rule 98 bis motion
and should it be denied in whole or in part, the
Defence case to commence on 12 September 2005
Should there be no Rule 98 bis motion,
the Defence case to commence on 5 September 2005
The Defence case to close on or before 10 March
2006
Rebuttal and Chamber witnesses, if any, to be
heard between 13 and 17 March 2006
Final trial briefs to be filed on or before
27 March 2006
Closing arguments to be heard on 6 and 7 April
2005

Before issuing the order the Judges
considered, among other things, the submissions
of the parties "given in open court on 29 October
2004
", and "analysed the past and future
requirements of this case, including the Defence’s
recurrent requests for time in preparation
".
The Judges also noted that some dates could be adjusted
at the discretion of the Chamber should the Prosecution’s
case close earlier than expected, should the Defence
case close earlier than expected, or upon a motion
by a party showing good cause. Copies of the Order
will be available to those who want them after this
briefing.


As you will be aware, the initial
appearance of General Pavkovic will be held tomorrow
at 2.30 p.m. in Courtroom I.


The further initial appearance
of Vinko Pandurevic has been scheduled for next
Tuesday 3 May at 2.15 p.m. in Courtroom III.
