Father and son Marinko and Zoran Bjelica, as well as Novica Tripkovic - all former Bosnian Serb Army servicemen - pleaded not guilty to participating in the murder and torture of Bosniak civilians detained in the Miladin Radojevic school building in Kalinovik, south of Sarajevo, in August 1992.
In a separate case in July 2011, the Bosnian state court sentenced Tripkovic to eight years in prison for rape and murder in Foca in 1992.
Their trials will start in the next 30 to 60 days.
