figure of a parallel structure in the Krajina could not have happened without the knowledge of
the SDS and therefore it could not be the truth. 4472
2122. The Trial Chamber will now review the evidence it has received in relation to the
support provided to Martić before the SAO Krajina Police was formally established. Witness
JF-039 testified that beginning in September 1990, weapons arrived in trucks at Bosanko
Grahovo, from where Milan Martić and Dušan Orlović would transport them in a small car to
Knin and to other parts of the Krajina. 4473 The witness recounted that sometime in December
1990, Martić asked him to go to the Knin police station and inform the police about the arrival
of weapons that he was expecting from Stanišić, so the police would not mistake those
delivering the weapons to be Croatian police. 4474 As the witness approached the police station,
the local police were running away, and blue police “PUH” vehicles with Serbian MUP
license plates were driving down the street. 4475 He later learnt that Simatović and Boro Kostić
were in one of the vehicles. 4476 The witness testified that this was the first time he saw
Simatović in person. 4477 The witness unloaded automatic and semi-automatic rifles from the
two vehicles at the police garage; each of the vehicles contained some 200 barrels of
weapons. 4478 Kostić replaced the MUP plates with civilian ones. 4479 Simatović then met with
Martić in Martić’s office, and Martić later told the witness that he had received money from
Belgrade for the payment of salaries. 4480
2123. The Trial Chamber has further received evidence in relation to further support
provided to Martić following his election as the Secretary of the Krajina SUP. In this respect,
the Trial Chamber recalls the evidence of Witness JF-039 in chapter 6.3.2 in relation to the
Golubić camp on Martić’s trip to Belgrade in January 1991 and his meeting with Stanišić and
Simatović. Witness JF-039 further testified that in January 1991, after he had returned from
Belgrade, Martić was given a green light from Stanišić and police stations were set up all over
Krajina, with the first one in Civljane and then also in Otočac. 4481 According to the witness,
