A Croatian judge delayed the trial of a former concentration camp commander to give more time to reach a key defense witness. Dinko Sakic’s defense team said Ante Mestrovic, who lives in Bosnia-Herzegovina, did not attend the trial because of ill health. Mestrovic reportedly was in the Jasenovac camp in 1943- 1944, when Sakic was a commander there. The trial is scheduled to resume Sept. 21.
