who remained in Ilok styled themselves in the “Red Berets” image, doing dirty jobs there<br />

while using the “Red Berets” uniform and insignia. 2981<br />

1532. At the Kula ceremony of 1997, Simatović mentioned the Ilok camp among the 26<br />

training camps which were established for special police units of the Bosnian-Serb Republic<br />

and the RSK. 2982<br />

1533. The Trial Chamber will first consider the establishment of a camp at Ilok. Based on the<br />

evidence reviewed above, the Trial Chamber finds that Unit members Radojica Božović and<br />

Živojin Ivanović (a.k.a. Žika Crnogorac) established a camp at Pajzoš/Ilok in November or<br />

December 1991. At this camp, Božović, Ivanović, and Unit member Dragan Đorđević (a.k.a.<br />

Crni) operated as commanders and, from early 1992, Unit member Davor Subotić operated as<br />

Božović’s deputy and Unit members Nikola Pupovac and Aleksandar Vuković a.k.a. Vuk<br />

operated as training instructors. Unit members Borjan Vučković, Milenko Popović, Nikola<br />

Lončar, Budimir Zečević, Goran Starčević, Đurica Banjac, Dragiša Grujić, Borislav<br />

Kovačević, and Zoran Raić were present at the camp in late 1991 and early 1992. 2983 The<br />

evidence further indicates that a person referred to as Prica was present at the camp as well.<br />

Based on the evidence received, the Trial Chamber further finds that Miloš Savić joined the<br />

Unit in Pajzoš in March 1992.<br />

1534. The Trial Chamber now turns to the evidence regarding Srećko Radovanović (also<br />

known as Debeli) and his group of volunteers, including Lugar and Witness JF-047. Based on<br />

the evidence received and reviewed above, the Trial Chamber finds that Debeli’s group of<br />

volunteers arrived in Pajzoš in March 1992 after having received training at the Ležimir<br />

camp. The group was initially composed of SRS volunteers and had served as SBWS MUP<br />

police officers under Radovan Stojičić (a.k.a. Badža) for a brief period in early 1992. At<br />

Pajzoš, members of the group were trained by instructors from Ležimir, received wolf patches<br />

which were also worn by their superiors and by Simatović, as well as by Unit members at the<br />

Ležimir camp, 2984 and were told by Debeli that they were now members of a Serbian MUP<br />

special purposes brigade. At the camp, the group was subordinated to inter alia Unit members<br />

Đorđević, Božović, and Subotić. On this basis, the Trial Chamber finds that Debeli and his<br />

volunteer group became members of the Unit at the Pajzoš camp. The Trial Chamber does not<br />
