1868. Manojlo Milovanović testified that a day or two before a meeting on 22 September
1995 at the VRS IKM in Banja Luka, Karadžić told him that Special Police units from the
Serbian MUP would arrive to help defend Banja Luka. 3742 Mladić recorded notes of the 22
September 1995 meeting, at which Milovanović stated that a team from the Serbian DB had
arrived and told him that three brigades would come. 3743 They introduced themselves as
Filipović and Božović and, according to the witness, they first mentioned sending three
brigades and later reduced that number to 900; however, the witness testified that he did not
believe any PJM men ever arrived. 3744 Witness JF-057 testified that the Banja Luka DB and
the Red Berets, led by Raja Božović, were involved in the Banja Luka operation. 3745

of the 36th Detachment of the PJPs between 1995 and 1998, 3746 testified that in late August
1995, he attended a meeting with Radovan Stojičić, a.k.a. Badža, Chief of the SJB of the
Serbian MUP and Deputy Minister of the Interior of Serbia, and Colonel Obrad Stevanović,
who commanded all the PJPs at that time. At the meeting he was informed that the Bosnian-
Serb Republic Government had asked the Serbian Government to deploy Serbian MUP forces
to the Bosnian-Serb Republic. 3747 Stojičić asked for 400 police officers from the PJPs to
extend assistance to the MUP in the Bosnian-Serb Republic to deal with the flow of refugees,
and security and desertion problems. Dragan Filipović and the Serbian DB were to coordinate
these forces. The witness believed that this decision to send the Serbian MUP forces
to the Bosnian-Serb Republic must have already been made prior to this meeting by officials
from the top ranks of the government. According to the witness, the Serbian DB could not, on
