49656 1293. Below, the Trial Chamber will first address the period between August 1990 and April 1991. In relation to this period, the Trial Chamber will consider in turn: the activity at the Golubić facility from August 1990; Stanišić meeting with Martić in Belgrade in January 1991 and reconstruction work at Golubić in February 1992; and the Serbian DB’s monitoring of Captain Dragan and contacts between the DB (including Franko Simatović) and Captain Dragan from late 1990 through April 1991. The Trial Chamber will then review the period between April and August 1991. In relation to this period, the Trial Chamber will address in turn: the training at the Golubić camp and the alleged involvement therein of, amongst others, Captain Dragan, Milan Martić, Franko Simatović, and Jovica Stanišić; the type of training at Golubić; the groups which received training at Golubić; and the end of the training at Golubić. 1294. The Trial Chamber first turns to the evidence of activity at the Golubić facility from August 1990 and prior to the arrival of Captain Dragan in April 1991 and a meeting between Jovica Stanišić and Milan Martić in August 1990. 1295. The Trial Chamber has received evidence from witnesses Aco Drača 2307 and Witness JF-041 2308 indicating that the camp at Golubić operated as a training camp for SAO Krajina police officers under Milan Martić from August 1990. In this regard, Milan Babić, who was the Prime Minister of the SAO Krajina, 2309 stated that, on 17 August 1990, the youth centre in Golubić served as the headquarters of those in charge of putting barricades in Knin and taking part in the uprising, with Milan Martić in charge; the executive council of the SDS disbanded the headquarters after some two to three weeks. 2310 The Trial Chamber has also received evidence from Witness JF-041 2311 and Witness DST-043 2312 indicating that shortly before 17 August 1990, at the Golubić camp, Nenad Marić distributed weapons taken from the SAO Krajina police station. The Trial Chamber has reviewed further evidence from Witness JF-039 in relation to the distribution of arms by Milan Martić at the Golubić youth centre in August 1990 in chapter 6.6.2. The Trial Chamber has also received evidence from Witness JF-031, a 2307 Aco Drača, T. 16711-16713, 17002. 2308 P1548 (Witness JF-041, Martić transcript, 23-25 May 2006), pp. 4436-4437; Witness JF-041, T. 7901-7902, 7951, 8004. 2309 P1878 (Milan Babić, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 18-22, 25-26 November, and 2-4, 6, and 9 December 2002), p. 12965; P1880 (Death Certificate of Milan Babić). 2310 P1877 (Milan Babić, Martić transcript, 15-17, 20-21 February, and 2-3, and 6 March 2006), p. 1382; P1878 (Milan Babić, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 18-22, 25-26 November, and 2-4, 6, and 9 December 2002), p. 12929. 2311 P1546 (Witness JF-041, witness statement, 18 February 2005), paras 11, 34; P1548 (Witness JF-041, Martić transcript, 23-25 May 2006), pp. 4412-4413, 4536-4539, 4547; Witness JF-041, T. 7951-7592, 7594-7956.

49655 Serb from Knin municipality, 2313 indicating that a special unit of the Knin SUP under the command of Dragan Karna were accommodated at Golubić prior to April 1991. 2314 Witness JF-031’s evidence in this respect is further supported by that of Witness DST-043. 2315 1296. The Simatović Defence submits that training at the Golubić centre had commenced at the end of 1990 and prior to the arrival of Simatović and Captain Dragan in April 1991, by which time the Golubić centre had been established, fully equipped, and financed,. 2316 As set out above, there is some evidence indicating that from August 1990 and prior to April 1991, Milan Martić and other Serb police officers (including Dragan Karna) used the youth centre facilities at Golubić for training and, on at least one occasion (in August 1990), for distributing weapons. While the evidence on the duration and scale of training at Golubić prior to April 1991 is unclear, the Trial Chamber does not consider in view of the remainder of the evidence set out below, the submission that a training camp at the Golubić centre was established, financed, and fully functioning prior to April 1991 to be a reasonable interpretation of the evidence. 1297. Milan Babić testified that Martić introduced him to Jovica Stanišić in August 1990, in a café near Knin, but Babić did not know what the purpose of Stanišić’s visit was. 2317 In the absence of further information regarding this meeting, the Trial Chamber is unable to determine whether the contact between Martić and Stanišić in August 1990 was related to the establishment of the Golubić training centre in April 1991. 1298. The Trial Chamber will now review the evidence indicating that Martic, Stanišić, and Simatović met in Belgrade in January 1991 and that work began on the reconstruction of Golubić in February 1991. 1299. Witness JF-039, a Serb from Croatia, 2318 testified that in late January 1991 Martić went to Belgrade to meet with Stanišić. 2319 The purpose of the visit was to receive equipment, money, and support for expanding the barricades to take as many police stations as 2312 D322 (Witness DST-043, witness statement, 29 June 2011), paras 42, 44; Witness DST-043, T. 12932- 12933, 12940, 12943-12944, 12947-12948. 2313 P998 (Witness JF-031, witness statement, 1 June 2001), pp. 1-2. 2314 Witness JF-031, T. 7438-7440. 2315 Witness DST-043, T. 13014-13015 2316 Simatović Defence Final Trial Brief, 14 December 2012 (Confidential), paras 36, 38-50, 52, 228, 234, 297- 301; T. 20319, 20329. 2317 P1878 (Milan Babić, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 18-22, 25-26 November, and 2-4, 6, and 9 December 2002), pp. 12932-12933. 2318 P978 (Witness JF-039, witness statement, 12 September 2003), p. 1, paras 1, 5, 23; P977 (Witness JF-039, prior testimony), pp. 1958-1959.

1295. The Trial Chamber has received evidence from witnesses Aco Drača 2<strong>30</strong>7 and Witness<br />
JF-041 2<strong>30</strong>8 indicating that the camp at Golubić operated as a training camp for SAO Krajina<br />
police officers under Milan Martić from August 1990. In this regard, Milan Babić, who was<br />
