1302. The Trial Chamber now turns to a number of documents indicating first, that the
Serbian DB was monitoring the activities of Captain Dragan (also known as Daniel Snedden
or Dragan Vasiljković) in Belgrade from late 1990, second, that, Captain Dragan met Franko
Simatović in March and/or April 1991, and third, that the Serbian DB generally was in contact
with Captain Dragan prior to April 1991.
1303. A decision by Minister Radmilo Bogdanović indicates that the Serbian DB began
monitoring the telephone calls of Daniel Snedden in Belgrade in November 1990. 2332 On 18
December 1990 and 21 March 1991, Franko Simatović, Dragan Filipović, and two others of
the Serbian DB Belgrade 2nd administration proposed to apply secret telephone call
monitoring to Daniel Snedden because of his subversive intelligence activities and
intelligence-related contacts. 2333 Between 25 December 1990 and 17 April 1991, Dragan
Filipović reported on monitoring the telephone calls of Daniel Snedden. 2334 Filipović reported
that shortly after 15 March 1991 Aleksandar Pavić and Snedden travelled to the Krajina and
that they had announced their arrival to Benkovac Municipal President Zečević. On 18 March
1991, after returning from the Knin Krajina, Daniel Snedden made several phone calls
attempting to contact high-ranking politicians in the Serbian government, which the DB
believed was aimed at obtaining large quantities of arms for transfer to the Knin Krajina.
Snedden contacted Martin Lynch and asked for a military manual for basic infantry training
and for a topographic map of the Knin Krajina, stating that he was working as an adviser for
some sort of army which was being formed. 2335 The reports of 3 and 12 April 1991 indicate
that Dragan was in contact with Knin SUP Chief Martić, Benkovac President Žečević, and
state organs of Serbia. 2336
