Amer Jahic BIRN BiH SarajevoThe Defence of indictee Edin Dzeko, former member of the “Zulfikar” Special Squad of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ABiH, completes the presentation of evidence by including the last documents in the case file.
The documents presented by Defence attorney Edina Residovic mainly included statements by State Prosecution witnesses given in other cases.
