payment list for the period of 1 to 15 June 1995. 4383 Mijović’s name also appears on the
payment list for the remaining weeks in June as well as on the July payment lists. 4384 In view
of its findings in chapter 6.5.3 in relation to the Treskavica/Trnovo operation and the evidence
of Witness JF-024 that a certain SDG member nicknamed Asteriks participated in the Trnovo
operation, which was reviewed in the same sub-chapter, the Trial Chamber notes that all these
persons participated in the Trnovo operation as members of the SDG and that it was through
JATD member Mijović that the Accused supported the SDG’s involvement in the operation.
2087. Based on the evidence of Witness JF-057 and Witness JF-050, as well as DB payment
lists referred to above, the Trial Chamber finds that in the Treskavica/Trnovo operation,
members of the SDG were paid by the Serbian DB. The Trial Chamber further recalls its
discussion on the Defence submissions in relation to payment lists, set out in chapter 6.5.4 in
relation to Operation Pauk. Having reviewed the Treskavica/Trnovo payment lists
summarized above, the Trial Chamber finds that the names of the SDG members appear on
the same payment lists as the name of the JATD member Vasilije Mijović, and that these lists
are signed by or for JATD deputy commander Milan Radonjić. The Trial Chamber also notes
that other JATD members, such as Radojica Božović and Davor Subotić, 4385 are also listed on
these payment lists. Considering further that the JATD was a unit of the Serbian DB
subordinate to the Accused at the relevant time, as recalled earlier, the Trial Chamber finds
that the Accused financed the involvement of the SDG in the Treskavica/Trnovo operation.
