leadership, including Stanišić, Simatović, Krsmanović, and Filipović, was located in Pajzoš,<br />

and commanded the army in the Krajina from there. Rajo Božović, who completed four<br />

grades of elementary school, was appointed coordinator between the MUP and the army and<br />

Obrad Stevanović took a “Special Unit of MUP” there. Boca provided security for Đeletovci<br />

2053. The Trial Chamber will first address the testimony of Witness JF-024, who placed the<br />

events at issue in 1995, sometime after the Operation Storm and five to seven months after the<br />

Trnovo events. Considering that further in his testimony, the witness referred to the Erdut<br />

Agreement as the end-point of the operations in the SAO SBWS, and that, as specified in its<br />

finding above in relation to Trnovo, the Treskavica/Trnovo events took place in June-July<br />

1995, the Trial Chamber is satisfied that the events he testified about took place between late<br />

August and late October 1995.<br />

2054. In view of the documentary evidence 4<strong>30</strong>1 and the evidence of Witness JF-032, Witness<br />

JF-024, and Witness JF-027, and having reviewed the evidence of Petar Djukić, the Trial<br />

Chamber finds that between late August and late October 1995, the SDG, led by Nenad<br />

Bujošević, and the Skorpions, led by Milan Milanović, a.k.a. Mrgud, together with the SVK<br />

forces, took part in operations in the SAO SBWS, including in the area of Ostrovo and Klisa,<br />

under the overall command of General Lončar of the SVK 11th Corps. The Trial Chamber<br />

further finds that the SDG formed part of Operational Group 2 under the command of Milorad<br />

Ulemek, a.k.a. Legija, and that the Skorpions formed part of Operational Group 3 under<br />

Colonel Antolić and Zvezdan Jovanović. According to exhibit P1193, which is based on an<br />

interview with a VJ Colonel, the SDG and the Skorpions were in the combat formation of the<br />

VJ. Nevertheless, considering that later in his interview, the VJ Colonel stated that these<br />

formations refused to be placed under the VJ unified command or to follow its decisions, the<br />

Trial Chamber does not consider this evidence to contradict the above finding on the two<br />

units’ subordination to the SVK.<br />
