1598. The Trial Chamber now turns to the training of Witness JF-005 and others in Doboj
and the Doboj operations.
1599. The Trial Chamber recalls its findings in chapter 3.5.2, that the Unit participated in the
take-overs of Doboj town and surrounding villages, as well as the Bukovaćke Čivčije,
Johovac, and Kotorsko operations in May-June 1992.
1600. Based on the evidence set out, the Trial Chamber finds that men were trained and were
under the command of Unit members Božović and Subotić at the Mount Ozren and Vila
camps and during the Doboj operations. Apart from general combat training, they were also
trained in the use of human shields. Following their training some were issued uniforms and
red berets with JSN insignia. The Trial Chamber finds that these Serb men (including Witness
JF-005) who were trained at the Doboj camps operated as members of the Unit between April
and July 1992. Considering this and recalling its finding that the Unit was a Serbian DB Unit
subordinate to the Accused (see chapter 6.3.2 and in relation to the Ležimir camp above), the
Trial Chamber finds that the Accused directed and organized the training of these Unit
members.
1601. Recalling its finding about the Accused’s role vis-à-vis the Unit (see chapter 6.3.2 and
in relation to the Ležimir camp above), the Trial Chamber finds that the Accused also
organized the involvement of the Unit in the Doboj operations.
1602. The Trial Chamber notes the evidence that a number of Unit members received
payments from the Bosnian-Serb Republic MUP Security Services Centre Doboj while in
Doboj in 1992. Witness JF-005 testified that Unit member Božović paid him small amounts in
cash. The Trial Chamber has not received other specific evidence about the financing,
supplying, or supporting of the Unit at the Doboj camps in 1992 or during the Doboj
operations. Nonetheless, in light of its findings in chapter 6.3.2 and in relation to the Ležimir
camp above and its findings (including in relation to the Ležimir and the Pajzoš camps,
above) that the Accused financed the Unit at other camps, the Trial Chamber is satisfied that
the Accused financed the Unit at the Doboj camps in 1992 and during the Doboj operations.
1603. The Trial Chamber considers the evidence on Simatović’s visits to Doboj to be vague
and is unable to conclude from it that Simatović issued specific orders in relation to the Doboj
operations. Based on the evidence received, the Trial Chamber is unable to conclude that the
Accused directed the Unit during the Doboj operations. The evidence of Witness JF-005
