1991. On 6 April 1995, Mladić made notes of a meeting that he attended with General
Perišić, Stanišić, and Gvero. 4150 Milovanović testified that, in his opinion, and based on their
subject matter, the notes record statements made by Stanišić to Mladić. 4151 According to
Mladić’s notes, Stanišić stated that they transported “stuff” and cisterns of fuel for Pretis (the
VRS ammunitions factory in Sarajevo), and that they transferred “everything for Martić”. 4152
Stanišić also stated: “I sent 150 men from Slavonija through “Pauk”” and “we are looking for
volunteers”, and that the border crossing had to be done “quietly”. 4153 Milovanović testified
that, in his opinion, the reference to “Pauk” did not refer to Operation Pauk because of the
time frame. 4154 The Trial Chamber notes, however, the witness’s testimony above, that
although halted, Operation Pauk restarted in mid-February 1995. At a 13 June 1995 meeting
with Slobodan Milošević and Fikret Abdić, in which the fighting in the Bihać area and
logistical issues were discussed, Mladić made notes of an individual identified as “JS” who
stated that he could find 120 men from the eastern sector who could arrive in seven days. 4155
“JS” also stated that he gave 80 men from Erdut and 80 from Đeletovci. 4156 Furthermore, “JS”
proposed that Mladić arrange with the 1st and 2nd Krajina Corps to find men to replace the
400 from Pećanac and give them to General Mrkšić, and that a volunteer battalion be formed
and engaged in 10 days, equipped by General Perišić. 4157 An individual recorded as “SM”
stated that a decision was made to subordinate the Pauk Command to Mrkšić, and that “Jovica
should resolve logistics problems” and the VRS would address the holding up of convoys. 4158
