where Simatović told the JATD members that they would receive everything that was
necessary to carry out their task.
1747. The Trial Chamber has considered the Stanišić Defence’s submissions that the activity
at Pajzoš in the autumn of 1995 was of a purely defensive nature, aiming to safeguard the
surveillance equipment stationed at Tito’s villa. 3489 The testimony of Dejan Plahuta and Rade
Vujović supports that there was electronic intelligence equipment at Pajzoš which the JATD
guarded. However, the Trial Chamber considers that while Pajzoš may have been used as an
intelligence point, this evidence does not contradict the evidence above establishing that
training also took place at Pajzoš, nor does it undermine the Trial Chamber’s findings in
respect of such training.
1748. Based on the JATD payment lists covering the period July-December 1995 and
Witness JF-048’s evidence identifying instructors and recruits on those lists, the Trial
Chamber finds that the DB financed the JATD at Pajzoš, Zirište, and Lipovaca in 1995.
1749. Based on the foregoing and recalling its findings in chapter 6.3.2, the Trial Chamber
finds that the Accused directed and organized the training, financing, logistical support, and
other substantial assistance or support for the JATD unit at camps at Pajzoš, Zirište, and
Lipovaca between late May or early June 1995 and early 1996.

1750. The Trial Chamber will now review whether the Accused directed and organized the
financing, training, logistical support, and other substantial assistance or support for the Unit
through the Captain Dragan Fund.
1751. In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution submits that Captain Dragan founded the KDF
in autumn 1991 to provide financial assistance to members of special units, including the
Special Purpose Unit of the Serbian DB under the command of Simatović and/or Radojica
Božović, Živojin Ivanović (a.k.a Žika Crnogorac), and Ilija Vučković, and members of the
SDG under Arkan’s command, as well as members of other armed groups, who were injured
or killed during operations. 3490
1752. According to the undated minutes of a meeting, Dragan Vasiljković, a.k.a. Captain
Dragan, and Minister Tomislav Simović discussed the work of the KDF. The KDF was
established to provide financial support for families of persons who were killed or wounded
