employ assets and methods, and providing recommendations for staffing. The chief of the DB
also had the function of assistant minister of the Interior. 2251
1274. Ljubomir Ristić testified that the DB’s Eighth Administration dealt with logistics,
including salaries, accommodation, and personnel. Prior to 1992, the Second and Eighth
Administrations did not exist, and the Third Administration, known then as the Third Sector,
had the broader mandate of dealing with internal enemies. Information collected by the
Serbian DB was transmitted to the Fifth Administration, which was the “analytical
Administration”, and then relayed to the First or Third Administration. An exception was
information collected by the Second Administration, which remained in that department.
According to the witness, the only persons outside of the Second Administration who were
aware of its activities were Stanišić, Tepavčević, and Dragiša Ristivojević. Any requests made
to the Eighth Administration came from Heads of Administrations, and were approved by the
Deputy Chief of the Serbian DB. According to the witness, requests to the Eighth
Administration would never have reached Stanišić during his time as DB Chief. 2252 Miloš
Teodorović testified that decisions on appointment of personnel as well as per diem lists were
kept in the Eighth Administration of the DB. 2253
1275. Teodorović further testified that after a document was sent from a DB centre, the head
of the First or Third Administration would make a selection to decide what was to be sent
upwards. 2254 By rule, documents from the centres reached first the head of the administration
and then the RDB assistants, and only thereafter the Deputy who finally decided what went to
the Chief. 2255 Both the chief of a centre and the head of an administration could contact the
RDB Chief directly if they felt that this was necessary, but this had to be justified by the
importance of the document. 2256 According to the witness only a small number of documents
would reach the Chief. 2257 Witness DST-035, a former high-ranking Serb DB officer from
