himself came to Pajzoš, but refused to identify himself. The guard insisted on following
standard procedures and pointed a gun at Arkan’s vehicle, after which Arkan left. 4318
2064. In the same respect, Dejan Plahuta, who was sent from Lipovica to Pajzoš in early
August 1995, testified that as far as he knew, during his stay at Pajzoš, neither Arkan’s men
nor Boca or any of his men ever came to Pajzoš for supplies, and there was in any event not
enough ammunition or equipment to share it with anybody else. 4319 In early August 1995,
Arkan arrived at the Pajzoš complex in Croatia, accompanied by seven or eight armed men
wearing camouflage military uniforms. 4320 Although he didn’t provide a reason for his visit,
the witness assumed that it had something to do with the wine at the wine cellars at the site
because Arkan mentioned the wine on that occasion and said he wanted to buy some. 4321
Arkan was denied entry at the main gate by the witness’s brother, who was patrolling at that
moment, because he was not authorised. 4322 The witness, who had been called as
reinforcement along with others, saw that Arkan was very irritated. 4323
2065. In relation to other support provided to the Skorpions, the Trial Chamber has received
evidence from Witness JF-024, a Serb from Croatia, who testified that on three missions,
when the Skorpions crossed into Bosnia-Herzegovina at Sremska Rača, persons, whom he
heard from others were members of the Serbian DB, escorted the Skorpions through the
woods. 4324 The witness recognized one of the persons assisting them in crossing the border
between the Serbian Krajina and Abdić’s territory in a still from a video shown to him in
Court (exhibit P2159). 4325
2066. In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution submits, citing exhibit P2978 and the testimony
of Goran Opačić, that the person identified by Witness JF-024 as the Skorpions’ escort was
Zoran Raić. 4326 Exhibit P2978 contains two pictures of Zoran Raić, which originate from his
ID cards dated 23 June 1994 and 30 July 2009, and which were submitted by the Government
