Bosnia’s State Court acquitted on Friday wartime commander in Srebrenica, Naser Oric, and one of his aids of all war crimes charges after a years-long trial.

The Court ruled on charges against Oric and Sabahudin Muhic for killing three Serbs near the villages of Zalazje, Lolici and Kunjorac in 1992.

The Appeals Chamber ordered a retrial after the first-instance ruling in which the two were also acquitted.

Oric’s lawyer, Lejla Covic, said his defence team expected such an outcome and is “absolutely satisfied.”

The head of the Association of Women – Victims of War, Bakira Hasecic, also welcomed the ruling.

“All of us, honest citizens, especially victims who have survived (the war), are extremely satisfied with the ruling. The ruling is final, and cannot long,” Hasecic said.
