Main Board had decided that a special unit needed to be established in order to respond
effectively to any future attacks by Croatian special forces and that this was the rationale for
establishing Golubić. 2348 The witness testified that the location at Golubić was owned by the

technical and personnel support to the SAO Krajina SUP. 2351
1315. Milan Babić, who was the Prime Minister of the SAO Krajina, 2352 stated that in April
1991, Martić, Simatović, the Krajina SUP, the Serbian DB, and Captain Dragan established a
camp in Golubić, where, until August 1991, military training was provided. 2353
