specific portion of his prior testimony during his testimony in the present case. 3244 The Trial
Chamber recalls that when admitting the witness’s prior testimony, it stated that it would take
a very cautious approach in determining the weight to be given to this evidence and may
consider whether there is corroborating evidence. 3245 The Trial Chamber has not received
other evidence indicating that the Drina Wolves at the Tara camp were subordinated to
Simatović. In this respect, the Trial Chamber considers that it is not clear whether the
“Vukovi” mentioned by intelligence report P1075 are the same unit as the Drina Wolves. The
remainder of the evidence regarding the status of the Drina Wolves (which appears to have
included Dragutin Stanojević) is inconclusive as their status in early 1993. 3246 In the absence
of evidence clearly establishing whether the Drina Wolves received training at Mount Tara or
participated in operations relevant to the present case, the Trial Chamber will not make further
findings with regard to the Drina Wolves.
1642. In its Final Trial Brief, the Stanišić Defence argues that the training at the Tara camp
was coordinated by the Joint Staff in Tara, which consisted of VRS, VJ, Bosnian-Serb
Republic MUP and Serbian MUP. 3247 Having evaluated the evidence before it, the Trial
Chamber concludes that it has received no indications that the training at the Tara camp was
coordinated by the Joint Staff. The remainder of allegations concerning the Tara Joint Staff
will be addressed in the following chapter concerning the operations in Skelani.
1643. The Trial Chamber has received no evidence as to the financing or logistical or other
substantial support the Unit may have received at the Tara camp at the time period reviewed
in this section. Accordingly, the Trial Chamber will not consider this matter further.

1644. The Trial Chamber now turns to the Skelani camp and the Skelani operations. The
Trial Chamber will consider whether the Accused directed the involvement of the Unit in
particular operations in and around Skelani. 3248 It will further consider whether the Accused
organized, supplied, financed, and supported the Unit’s involvement in those particular
operations. 3249 It will also review whether the Accused directed and organized the financing,
