relevant time, the Trial Chamber finds that the Accused financed the involvement of the SDG
in the 1995 Banja Luka operations. The Trial Chamber further observes that General Lončar
and the RSK also paid the SDG during their involvement in the Banja Luka operations.
1881. The Trial Chamber has not received sufficient evidence to show that the Accused
supplied or otherwise supported the SDG during the Banja Luka operations in 1995 in any
other way than as set out above.
1882. With regard to organizing the involvement of other Serbian MUP units to the Banja
Luka operations, the Trial Chamber finds that, based on the testimony of
Grekulović, following a request by the Bosnian-Serb Republic Government, the Serbian
Government deployed Serbian MUP forces, so called PJPs, to the Bosnian-Serb Republic in
early September 1995. The Trial Chamber is not aware of any involvement of the Accused in
the decision to deploy these units to Banja Luka. Mladić’s notebook entry of 29 September
1995 (exhibit P2544) is too vague in this regard to conclude that the Accused deployed the
PJP units. Accordingly, the Trial Chamber finds that it is unable to conclude that the Accused
organized the involvement of the PJPs in the Banja Luka operation.
1883. The Trial Chamber has not received sufficient evidence to show that the Accused
financed the PJPs during the Banja Luka operations in 1995.
1884. With regard to supply and support, the Trial Chamber finds that, based on
Grekulović’s testimony, the Serbian DB supplied and supported the PJPs during the Banja
Luka operations with food and cigarettes. In addition, the Trial Chamber understands Witness
JF-057’s testimony about the Red Berets under Božović participating in the Banja Luka
operations to refer to Božović’s alleged coordinating role for the PJPs. Further evidence
suggests that apart from Božović, Filipović also coordinated the PJPs in the Banja Luka
operations in 1995. In particular because the evidence received indicates the existence of a
joint operative and ministerial command structure during the Banja Luka operations under the
Bosnian-Serb Republic Minister Kovač, the Trial Chamber understands the coordinating role
of Božović and Filipović to comprise liaising, supporting or facilitating. Recalling its findings
in chapter 6.3.2 that Božović and Filipović were members of the JATD, a unit of the Serbian
DB subordinate to the Accused at the relevant time, and that they both held command
positions within that unit, the Trial Chamber finds that the Accused supported the PJP’s
involvement in the Banja Luka operations by providing it with food and cigarettes. The Trial
Chamber further observes that other supplies were received from the Bosnian-Serb Republic.
