49452 reports as a matter of practice indicated that the person referred to was registered as a DB associate, according to the witness the use of pseudonyms for Arkan did not indicate any affiliation with the DB but was rather done for security purposes given the high sensitivity of his case. 3814 As a matter of practice, in addition to associates, targets of processing in highsecurity cases were also referred to by pseudonyms. 3815 1892. In relation to arming and other supply, the Trial Chamber received the following evidence. Dejan Slišković testified that it was forbidden to have the automatic weapons which the men guarding the SDG headquarters in Belgrade had without special permission from the MUP. 3816 1893. Witness JF-057 testified that while the SDG received support – such as food and cigarettes – from many private wealthy Serbs, their weapons and ammunition were supplied by the SVK. 3817 The witness testified that General Dušan Lončar signed all the orders and requisition papers for weapons and ammunition that went to the SDG. 3818 The SVK in Erdut also provided the Tigers with oil, but only as much as was needed on a day to day basis for operations and getting to the frontline. 3819 1894. The Trial Chamber also received evidence in relation to specific incidents suggesting other links between the Serbian DB and the SDG. Witness JF-057 testified that during the first week of September 1995, a member of the SDG who was on leave in Belgrade was arrested there and sent to the Belgrade central prison. 3820 The witness testified that when the SDG in Belgrade contacted Simatović’s secretary Slađana for his release, this was done immediately and the SDG member showed up at the SDG headquarters in Belgrade one hour later. 3821 Witness JF-057 further testified that the Tigers did not receive DB ID cards, even though in the DB records they were registered as DB reserve members.

The witness testified about supply provided by the VJ, specifically Dušan Lončar. In light of the totality of the evidence linking Lončar clearly to the SVK, the Trial Chamber considers that the witness was mistaken when referring to the VJ. 3818 P1616 (Witness JF-057, witness statement, 10 November 2002), p. 11; P1618 (Witness JF-057, prior testimony), pp. 19472, 19511; Witness JF-057, T. 9473. 3819 P1616 (Witness JF-057, witness statement, 10 November 2002), pp. 11-12.
