on the whole, while not without concerns in some areas of the witness’s testimony, the Trial
Chamber considers Witness JF-005 to be generally reliable.
1595. The Trial Chamber recalls its findings about Božović and Subotić in chapter 6.3.2, that
they were part of the Unit in mid-1991. Furthermore, evidence also found in that chapter
establishes that both were present at the Kula ceremony in 1997. In its Final Trial Brief, the
Stanišić Defence submits that Božović, Subotić, and others were only prospective Unit
members in 1992 and that there is no evidence that their applications were processed. 3149
Furthermore, it submits that these persons’ applications to the JATD in 1993 suggest that they
were not members of the Unit prior to that. 3150 The Trial Chamber has dealt with these
arguments in chapter 6.3.2. Accordingly and based on the totality of the evidence received in
this regard, the Trial Chamber finds that the affiliation of Božović and Subotić with the Unit
continued throughout 1992.
1596. The Stanišić Defence submits that the evidence shows that it is likely that Mićo
Stanišić established the Doboj camps. 3151 The Trial Chamber considers that this argument is
based on an entry in the Mladić notebooks (P392) of February 1993. The Trial Chamber is not
convinced that this sole piece of evidence pointing in a different direction is sufficiently
reliable to raise a reasonable doubt in the Trial Chamber’s mind. In this respect, the Trial
Chamber has also considered that the timing of the notebook entry may be an indication that it
refers to a different time period than the one at issue in this sub-chapter.
1597. Based on the evidence before it 3152 and recalling its previous findings, the Trial
Chamber finds that Unit members Radojica Božović, Davor Subotić (a.k.a. Riki), Milenko
Popović, 3153 Nikola Lončar, Aleksandar Vuković, 3154 and Đurica Banjac, 3155 were present at
the camps at Mount Ozren and in Vila, in Doboj municipality, between April and July 1992.
Further, based on the evidence of Witness JF-005 and Witness JF-031, and exhibit P61, the
Trial Chamber finds that Njegoš Kušić and Zvezdan Jovanović were members of the Unit as
well and were present at the Doboj camps between April and July 1992.

Witness JF-008, and Witness JF-035, as well as the hand-written autobiography of Milenko Popović (in evidence
as part of P3179) and the evidence regarding the Kula ceremony (P61).
