BABIĆ: Th ey were integrated into the army of Republika Srpska, and those who had
crossed into Serbia, they were arrested and taken to Eastern Slavonia, to a camp under
Arkan or to the front line, the so-called front lines.
PROSECUTOR UERTZ-RETZLAFF: Does that mean they were forcefully recruited
into the VRS and into the army - into Arkan’s unit?
BABIĆ: Th at’s right.
PROSECUTOR UERTZ-RETZLAFF: Where did those who reached Serbia, where did
they settle?
BABIĆ: Th ey were accommodated in two ways: First, people who had relatives,
close relatives, the fi rst generation, could stay with their families. All the others were
transported by the police to certain centres all over Serbia, including Kosovo, in columns
of tractors or cars or in trains. I heard the stories of many people when they arrived by
train in Priština and other towns in Kosovo. Th ey were fl abbergasted and they took the
fi rst chance to fl ee from there.
PROSECUTOR UERTZ-RETZLAFF: Did refugees from the Krajina arrive in
Vojvodina?
BABIĆ: Yes.
PROSECUTOR UERTZ-RETZLAFF: Were Croatian inhabitants then driven out of
Vojvodina? Do you know that?
BABIĆ: Th ere was some incursion into Croatian homes and throwing the inhabitants
out; however, the Serbian police intervened and prevented people moving into Croatian
homes.
