ʼDefender of Srebrenicaʼ Naser Oric acquitted of war crimes
Naser Oric, a Bosniak military leader once tasked with defense of Srebrenica, was cleared of crimes against Serb prisoners on Friday in Sarajevo. The exmilitary leader and his codefendant Sabahudin Muhic werecharged with killing Serb prisoners in villagers around Srebrenicain 1992, years before a Serb attack on the town would end with a massacre of some 8,000 Bosniak men and boys. The 51-year-old was detained in Switzerland on a warrant from Serbia in 2015. However,the Swiss authorities decided to extradite them to his native Bosniawhere a probe against him was also underway. Oric was put on trial and eventually acquitted in October 2017. Subsequently, the prosecution managed to overrule this decision and secure a retrial. The chief prosecutor said the verdict was based on "imaginary evidence" and accused the judge of delivering a different version of the verdict compared to the written document.

Montenegro detains opposition leader Nebojsa Medojevic outside parliament A police squad detained Montenegro government critic Nebojsa Medojevic as he was heading home from the parliament early on Friday, following a lengthy parliamentary session. "Police were out in force outside the parliament, they were waiting — we didnʼt know who they were waiting for, but we knew something was going on," said lawmaker Slaven Radunovic from Medojevicʼs Democratic Front (DF) party in video published on Facebook. Medojevic "got in the car with me and we started off home […] when a police car cut in front of us and Nebojsa was arrested," Radunovic added. "It was said that they have
some kind of a warrant, we donʼt know what this is about." Another opposition deputy, Milan Knezevic, was still hiding in the building to avoid detainment. Earlier this year, Medojevic publicly accused Montenegro special prosecutor Milivoje Katnic of taking a €100,000 ($113,670) bribe from a former mayor of Podgorica in order to keep him out of jail. Following the Friday incident, authorities said Medojevic was detained for his refusal to testify in the probe which was triggered in the wake of his statement. Medojevicʼs claims were backed by Knezevic, who now faces detainment on similar grounds.
Alexis Sanchez: Jose Mourinho fears Man Utd forward will be out for long time Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez could be out for a "long time" with a hamstring injury, says manager Jose Mourinho. The 29-year-old Chilean suffered the injury in training on Thursday. Sanchez is yet to have a scan to determine the extent of the damage but Mourinho said he was "screaming" in pain and would miss up to six weeks. "It is not a little muscular injury from which he will be ready in a week or 10 days," he added. Mourinho says it is more severe than the hamstring injury
defender Victor Lindelof has suffered. The Sweden international, who was injured in Saturdayʼs home draw against Crystal Palace, is expected to be out until the festive period. On Sanchez, Mourinho added: "It is an aggressive muscular injury. He has not had a scan yet but the player is experienced. He knows what the injury is. "From my experience, the painful scream and the way it happened, it will be a long time. "For me and Alexis Sanchez, the grade is different to the one that Lindelof has and that was not easy."

A series of internal meetings, a couple of tactical adjustments, qualification for the knockout stage of the Champions League and some public statements of support for Niko Kovac from key players – Bayern Munich are back on track. That, at least, is the impression the Bavarian giants want to convey as they go into their final five Bundesliga games of the year, starting with
a trip to Werder Bremen on Saturday five games that striker Robert Lewandowski believes the team must win in order to stay in touch in 2019. "I hope it will have a liberating effect," said Kovac, referring to Tuesdayʼs 5-1 hammering of Benfica. "I hope the players see that the instructions we give them make sense. Now my team needs to dig as deep as they can."

Before a ball was even kicked in Portugal, Schalke secured the result they wanted. Galatasarayʼs defeat to Lokomotiv Moscow left the Turkish side four points behind Schalke with just one game to play, securing the Bundesliga clubʼs spot in the Champions League last 16. Domenico Tedesco made five changes to the starting lineup, but Schalke eventually succumbed to the better side. Ralf Fährmann made a strong save at the end of a fairly even opening quarter of an hour, pushing away a powerful half-volley from Moussa Marega. Three minutes later, Fährmann stretched even further to claw out another special effort from Marega.

Historians estimate that more than 5 million items have changed hands inappropriately during the Second World War in Europe. But despite the dimension of the crime, the question of works that were looted from Jewish owners remained the elephant in the room for much of the 20th century.
