other substantial assistance or support for a special unit of the Serbian DB known as the
Special Purpose Unit of the MUP Serbia, the JATD, or the Red Berets at the Golubić
camp. 2300 The Trial Chamber will also consider whether the Accused directed and organized

1292. In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution submits that from January 1991, Stanišić and
Simatović worked with Martić to establish a training centre in Golubić, where the Serbian
MUP DB would provide combat training for the Serb police, TO, and other Serb forces. 2301
According to the Prosecution, they recruited Captain Dragan (also known as Daniel Snedden
or Dragan Vasiljković) and sent him to Golubić to lead the training. 2302 Other instructors
included Dragan Filipović (known as Fića, or Major Fića) and Milan Radonjić (Meda), who
were subordinate to Stanišić and Simatović. 2303 Dragan Karna (who was subordinate to
Simatović and Martić) and Goran Opačić commanded platoons trained at Golubić. 2304 The
Prosecution further contends that Stanišić and Simatović were present in the Krajina when
training began in April 1991. 2305 Stanišić officially deployed Simatović, Filipović, and
Radonjić to Kosovo, to provide cover for the Krajina operations and funding. 2306
