with Rajo Božović. 4365 On pages 18 through 20, the witness recognized the names of JATD
members together with the members of the SDG, and the names of SDG commander Milorad
Ulemek, SDG Lieutenant Jugoslav Gluščević, and high-ranking SDG officer Nenad
Bujošević. 4366 Nenad Bujošević was also listed on the JATD daily allowance list of 1 to 15
January 1995. 4367 On the JATD payment list for 16 to 31 January 1995, the witness
recognized the signature of JATD instructor Draško Suvara which appeared next to several
names including his own, and testified that he had received money from Draško Suvara in
January 1995. 4368 The witness testified that the stamp on this list was the official stamp used
at the Belgrade headquarters, which he had also seen on the official decision he received
signed by Jovica Stanišić. 4369 In view of its findings in chapter 6.5.3 in relation to Operation
Pauk and the evidence of Witness JF-057, Dejan Slišković, Dejan Plahuta, and Witness JF-
035 in the same sub-chapter, the Trial Chamber notes that all these persons took part in
Operation Pauk, as members of SDG or JATD.
2080. In relation to the JATD a.k.a. the Red Berets, considering the Serbian DB payment
lists referred to above and the testimony of Dejan Slišković that JATD members collected
their salaries at the Belgrade DB building, the Trial Chamber finds that the Serbian DB paid
JATD members during the operation. In view of the Trial Chamber’s finding, recalled earlier
in this chapter, that at the relevant time the JATD a.k.a. the Red Berets was a unit of the
Serbian DB subordinate to the Accused, the Trial Chamber finds that the Accused financed
the involvement of the JATD a.k.a. the Red Berets in Operation Pauk between November
1994 and July 1995.
2081. As to the SDG, in view of the evidence of Witness JF-057 and having considered the
evidence of Dejan Slišković and excerpts from Ratko Mladić’s Notebook, 4370 the Trial
Chamber observes that during Operation Pauk, members of the SDG were paid by Fikret
Abdić in the field, and those who were wounded at the front line received their money
through the Serbian DB at the SDG Belgrade headquarters.
