of Serbia in response to a request from the Office of the Prosecutor. 4327 Furthermore, Goran
Opačić recognized Zoran Raić in another picture shown to him in court. 4328
2067. Based on the Serbian DB JATD Report 4329 and in view of its finding recalled earlier in
this chapter, that the JATD was a unit subordinate to the Accused at the time, the Trial
Chamber finds that on at least one occasion, sometime between 10 December 1994 and 1
February 1995, the Accused supplied two sniper rifles, a Heckler and Koch pistol, some
ammunition, night visision goggles, and torches to members of the JATD a.k.a. the Red
Berets engaged in Operation Pauk, including to Radojica Božović, Vasilije Mijović, and
Zoran Raić.
2068. In relation to supplies from Pajzoš, the Simatović Defence, its Final Trial Brief, refers
to the evidence of Dragoslav Krsmanović. 4330 Krsmanović testified that at Pajzoš, where he
had been present at certain intervals in the second half of 1995, the JATD did not have any
warehouses with weapons and equipment, except for its own needs, and no supplying of other
formations from that area ever took place. 4331 The Trial Chamber considers that such a general
statement does not negate the more specific and detailed evidence of Witness JF-048 in this
respect. Also, having regard to the overall assessment of Krsmanović’s reliability outlined as
low in chapter 2, and considering that Krsmanović was not present at Pajzoš on a constant
basis, the Trial Chamber will not rely on his evidence in this context. With regard to Dejan
Plahuta’s claims, the Trial Chamber notes that he arrived in Pajzoš in August 1995 only and
could therefore not testify about Boca or any member of his unit coming to the camp in July
1995. In any event, his evidence to the effect that he did not see Boca, Arkan or their
respective units in Pajzoš between August and December 1995, does not, as such, contradict
Witness JF-048’s evidence that he saw Boca’s men there in July 1995 and Arkan’s men in
July or August and later the same year. Consequently, based on the evidence of Witness JF-
048, the Trial Chamber finds that on at least one occasion in July 1995, the Skorpions
received ammunition from Pajzoš, and that the SDG received supplies from Pajzoš, including
ammunition and uniforms, on at least two occasions between July and late September or early
October 1995. Before receiving the supplies, members of the SDG and the Skorpions claimed
