1722. Witness JF-048, a former member of the Red Berets, 3424 testified that the Poskok unit
was a Krajina-based special unit headed by Miloš Opačić, a.k.a. Čiroki. 3425 Miloš Opačić’s
brother was also a member of the Poskok unit. 3426 The Opačić brothers were alleged to have
been Milan Martić’s bodyguards. 3427 The witness recognized the name of Mladen Opačić
from the Poskok unit on the JATD employees’ payment list for 16 to 31 August 1995. 3428
Nenad Šare, Miloš Opačić, and Goran Opačić all appear on several JATD payment lists
relevant to the time period mid-August to late-October 1995. 3429
1723. The Trial Chamber has further received documentary evidence on individuals who
trained at Sova as members of the Poskok Detachment. According to handwritten documents
written by Nenad Šare and a clearance report by RSK MUP RDB Chief Aco Drača, Šare
transferred from the RSK MUP reserve forces to the Poskok Detachment at the Sova camp on
18 June 1995, from which he later went on to operate in Lipovica. 3430 The JSO personal
history file of Nenad Šare states that the Sova camp operated under the auspices of the
Serbian MUP RDB. 3431 JSO personal history files, Poskok candidate questionnaires and other
documents of a biographic nature recorded the following individuals as members of the
Poskok Detachment: Zoran Berić, Željko Mandić, Milorad Marinković, Veljko Gaćeša,
Jugoslav Kesić, Jovo Mirković, and Nikica Miljević. 3432 These documents indicate that from
mid-June 1995, the Poskok Detachment assembled and trained at the Sova camp, near
