4 --- Upon commencing at 9.32 a.m.
5 JUDGE MUMBA: Good morning. May the registrar please call the
6 case.
7 THE REGISTRAR: [Interpretation] Good morning. Case number
8 IT-96-23-T, IT-96-23/T, the Prosecutor versus Dragoljub Kunarac, Radomir
9 Kovac, and Zoran Vukovic.
10 JUDGE MUMBA: The Trial Chamber will go ahead with its decision on
11 the motion of acquittal by the Defence. I just want to confirm whether
12 the parties are the same as before.
13 The Prosecution?
14 MR. RYNEVELD: Yes, Your Honour. The parties are the same, yes.
15 JUDGE MUMBA: And the Defence? I'm sure, I notice the same
16 Defence counsel are present in court.
17 As you know, the Trial Chamber was not able to complete the
18 deliberations on the motions for acquittal because of the fact that
19 Judge Pocar was sitting on the Appeals Chamber in Arusha, and he just came
20 over the weekend, but the Trial Chamber will give an oral ruling. The
21 written decision with its reasoning will follow later today.
22 The decision on the judgement of acquittal motion is as follows:
23 Trial Chamber enters acquittal in favour of the accused Dragoljub Kunarac
24 on Count 13, plunder in the Kunarac and Kovac indictment.
25 The Trial Chamber holds that the accused Zoran Vukovic has no case
Page 4321
1 to answer in relation to the allegations made by Witness FWS-48 in support
2 of Counts 33, 34, 35, and 36 of the Vukovic indictment. This means that
3 Count 33, 34, 35, and 36 are still standing. Otherwise, the Trial Chamber
4 dismisses the motion for judgement of acquittal pursuant to Rule 98 bis.
5 The motion for self-conduct orders, videolink testimony, and
6 assignment of pseudonym, the Trial Chamber will shortly deal with the
7 pseudonym request in private session.
8 The Trial Chamber has decided to grant the request for
9 self-conduct orders for all the Defence witnesses which are concerned with
10 this motion, and the Trial Chamber has also granted the videolink request
11 testimony for two Defence witnesses. The written decision will follow in
12 due course.
13 With regard to videolink testimony, the parties and the registry
14 are requested to inform the Trial Chamber as soon as possible when this
15 testimony will take place. For practical reasons, those dates should be
16 fixed because of the technical arrangements that have to be made.
17 The opening of the Defence case in this regard will be adjourned
18 to tomorrow morning at 0930 hours.
19 The Trial Chamber will now move into private session for the other
20 motions.
