Specialna Antiteroristićka Jedinica (Special Anti-Terrorist Unit). 3832 Witness JF-057 testified
that Badža had a good working relationship with Arkan from 1991, which changed in 1993
one of the reasons being Arkan’s continued involvement in the smuggling business, which
was a strain on their relationship. 3833 It appeared to Witness JF-057 that the police and the
Serbian DB did not approve of it. 3834 According to the witness, the Serbian DB was not so
much interested in the illegality of the smuggling, but the attention this drew to Arkan and his
unit and what it was doing. 3835
1900. On 15 April 1994, SVK Colonel Dušan Grahovac reported that the commander of the
11th Corps and Chief of Security had visited SDB Chief Stanišić and that they had agreed that
the 102nd Training Centre in Erdut should stay under the authority of the MUP Krajina and
that SVK Military Police recruits should be trained together with MUP members at this
location. 3836
1901. Witness JF-057 testified that Arkan did nothing without the support or permission of
Frenki or the DB and, for example, would not call SDG members back to active duty, would
not take them to a training camp or take them on any operation without the approval or
support of the DB. 3837 Witness JF-057 testified that when Western Slavonia fell to the Croats
in May 1995, the DB needed help. The witness testified that as a result, a new training camp
was set up for the SDG, and that this was made possible by – and could not have been done
without – the DB, according to what Arkan and SDG members said. 3838
1902. Witness JF-057 testified that the new SDG training camp in Erdut had a direct
telephone line between with the SDG headquarters in Belgrade, which was arranged by the
DB. In addition, the DB also set up two direct radio links between the SDG headquarters in
Belgrade to (i) the Erdut camp, and (ii) the security at Arkan’s house. The witness testified
