Martić pushed for more police stations to be set up and Stanišić ordered the setting up of
police stations to ensure that the territory remains in Serb hands. 4482 When the witness asked
how Martić was going to pay for the additional stations, Martić would respond: “Jovica
promised it.” 4483 The witness further testified that on 9 March 1991, when there were large
demonstrations in Belgrade, Stanišić called Martić and told him to send 150 police officers in
Krajina uniforms to Belgrade. 4484 As a result, about 60 police officers were flown in from
Udbina airport to Belgrade. 4485
2124. According to a 5 January 1991 SAO Krajina Executive Committee Announcement, the
newly-established Krajina SUP included the police stations in Obrovac, Benkovac, Gračac,
Titova Korenica, Donji Lapac, Dvor na Uni, Glina, Kostajnica, Vojnić, and Knin. 4486 Mile
Bosnić testified that Jovica Stanišić did not order the establishment of the police stations in
January 1991 as there were already police stations between Knin and Kostajnica and there
was no need for any new ones. 4487
2125. Witness JF-039 testified that at the end of January 1991, the weapons started coming
to Krajina from Serbia, in Serbian MUP trucks. 4488 In January 1991, one of two trucks veered
off the road in Bosansko Grahovo and fell on its side, with many of the weapons it carried
spilling onto the ground. 4489 When the witness arrived at the scene, he saw trucks with blue
Serbian MUP license plates and Simatović, escorted by men in special Serbian police
uniforms. 4490 Simatović delivered weapons from Serbia up until May or June 1991.
Subsequently, the JNA and SFRY TO warehouses were opened, and weapons could be
provided from there. 4491
2126. The witness testified that the funding for the Krajina police initially came in cash, in
military transport bags delivered by Simatović. 4492 The witness testified that after December
1990, there were numerous subsequent visits by Simatović up to May or June 1991, during
