Chamber also finds based on the evidence of Witness JF-057, Dejan Slišković, and exhibit
P1061 that the Serbian MUP assisted the SDG inter alia through providing license plates for
SDG vehicles or identity cards for its members. Evidence of support provided by the Serbian
MUP in and of itself does not implicate the Serbian DB. With regard to Stanišić’s presence at
a Training Centre in Erdut, the Trial Chamber considers the evidence provided by Witness C-
015 and exhibit P1688 to be insufficient on its own to draw any conclusions about the
Accused supporting the SDG. Witness JF-057 specifically implicated the Serbian DB in
relation to support being provided to the SDG, in relation to the Serbian DB arranging for
SDG members’ medical care and listing them as reserve MUP members. While the witness
occasionally provided sweeping statements linking the Serbian DB to the SDG, the witness
also testified about specific incidents which corroborate such statements, e.g. the stamping of
SDG members’ medical cards by Frenki’s secretary. Recalling the Trial Chamber’s
conclusion about Witness JF-057’s reliability, the Trial Chamber finds that the Serbian DB
provided support to the SDG between 1994 and 1995. The Trial Chamber recalls that Jovica
Stanišić, as chief of the Serbian DB, was tasked with inter alia making decisions on how to
employ assets and methods. 3866 Furthermore, although the powers of Simatović within the DB
were much more limited, Simatović’s secretary Slađana stamped medical cards of the SDG
members with “reserve member”, thus arranging for the provision of medical care to the SDG
members. In view of the above, the Trial Chamber finds that between 1994 and 1995, the
Accused directed and organized support for the SDG by arranging medical care for its
members.
1913. In relation specifically to training of the SDG, the Trial Chamber finds, based on the
evidence of Witness JF-035, Witness JF-027, and Witness JF-057 that SDG members were
trained by Legija at Mount Tara prior to Operation Pauk. Legija was a member of the SDG
(see chapter 3.2). The Trial Chamber has received insufficient evidence to conclude that the
SDG were trained by the Serbian DB. Further, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that
this training was coordinated by the Serbian DB or the Accused. Lastly, the evidence of
Gvozden Gagić indicates that the SJB members trained the SDG at its Erdut camp. In this
respect, the Prosecution argues that the Serbian MUP SJB under Radovan Stojičić a.k.a.
Badža closely coordinated its activities with the MUP DB and the JATD. 3867 It further refers
to the evidence of Dejan Slišković, who testified that the SDB and the SJB had a very correct
co-operation and that from what he knew and what he had heard, Badža’s SJB unit and the
