rather suggests that besides Božović, the Unit was directed by the Ozren Tactical Group and<br />

Milovan Stanković.<br />

1604. The Trial Chamber now turns to the training of groups at the Unit’s Doboj camps<br />

which did not become part of the Unit following their training. Based on the evidence<br />

received, the Trial Chamber finds that Karaga’s men, members of the Miće group, police<br />

units, and JNA units were trained at the Doboj camps by members of the Unit. Recalling its<br />

findings that the role of the Accused vis-à-vis the Unit (see chapter 6.3.2 and in relation to the<br />

Ležimir camp above), the Trial Chamber finds that the Accused directed and organized the<br />

training of these men.<br />

1605. The Trial Chamber will now consider whether Predo’s Wolves were also trained by<br />

Unit members at the Doboj camps. The Trial Chamber notes that the evidence relied on by the<br />

Prosecution in this respect consists of an SFOR report about Milan Ninković. 3156 The report<br />

stated that one of Ninković’s known associates was Predrag “Kujundić”, 3157 who was the<br />

commander of a unit of 100 men, possibly known as the “Ozren Wolves” or the “White<br />

Wolves”. According to the report, “Kujundić” and/or his unit were trained by “Serbian Red<br />

Berets” and were “believed” to have killed 50-60 Bosnian Muslims near Johovac. The report<br />

further stated that Slobodan Karagić commanded the “Serbian Red Berets”. 3158 The Trial<br />

Chamber understands this report to refer to Predo’s Wolves (under the command of Predrag<br />

Kujundžić) and, in view of the reference to the killing near Johovac, to relate to the period<br />

around <strong>May</strong> or June 1992. 3159 The report does not provide a factual basis for its conclusions<br />

regarding Kujundžić and/or his unit’s training and participation in the Johovac killings. The<br />

report refers to the “Serbian Red Berets”, under the command of Slobodan Karagić, as having<br />

provided the training. The report does not specify the location of this training. In view of the<br />

evidence that different groups were at different times referred to as the “Red Berets” 3160 and<br />

that in the second half of <strong>May</strong> 1992, Slobodan Karagić set up his own unit (known as<br />

Karaga’s men) which was distinct from the Unit, 3161 the Trial Chamber does not consider it<br />

clear whether the report is referring to the Unit as having provided the training.<br />

3157 The Trial Chamber understands this to refer to Predrag Kujundžić (also known as Predo).<br />

3159 The Trial Chamber refers to its findings in chapter 3.5.2.<br />

3160 The Trial Chamber refers to the evidence of Witness JF-031 as reviewed in chapter 6.3.3 in relation to the<br />

Ležimir camp.<br />
