On Oct. 20, the prosecution of the Hague tribunal submitted for the judges' confirmation, the third amended indictment against the former commander of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), Ratko Mladic, with the added count for the execution by a firing squad of around 30 Muslims in the Sekovici municipality in summer 1995.

All other counts of the indictment remained the same.

According to the draft of the third indictment, in the village of Bisina, near Sekovici, on July 23, 1995, forces under Mladic's control killed more than 30 Muslim men, some of whom were previously kept in the Susica prison camp, in the Vlasenica municipality.

According to the announcement of judge Alphons Orie in his recent decision, at the next hearing on Nov. 10, Mladic will be called to enter his plea on the third amended indictment.

In June and July, Mladic twice refused to enter a plea, after which Judge Orie, in keeping with the rules of the tribunal, put on the record that he had pleaded not guilty.
