TWO men accused of trafficking women are set to face trial.
Oliver Jovanovic, of Suffolk Road in Bournemouth, is charged with controlling prostitution for gain and arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.
The 31-year-old is also charged with being concerned in the supply of Class A and B drugs.
Sebastian Jacimovic, 28 and of Garway in Liverpool, is charged with arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.
The defendants appeared at Bournemouth Crown Court on Thursday, December 7.
Jovanovic pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him, while Jacimovic had already given a not guilty plea to his single charge on November 8.
They will face trial together on the shared charge of arranging or facilitating travel of another person with a view to exploitation.
The trial is due to begin on July 8 at Bournemouth Crown Court.
Jovanovic’s additional charges will be trialled separately.
