relevant to the period of 1991-1993. The President of the Association, Branislav Crnčević,
met frequently with Slobodan Milošević. Witness B-179 personally observed special “red
telephones” at the Association’s headquarters which provided Crnčević with a direct
connection to Milošević and the Serbian MUP. Crnčević also met frequently with Stanišić.
According to the witness, meetings were held every morning between members of the
Association and members of the MoD. The meetings were held in the DB building, and were
used to review information from the battlefront. Milan Prodanić, Jovica Stanišić, Mikhael
Kertes, and Milan Tepavčević tended to be present. Prodanić was the head of the 6th
Department of the DB, and was directly subordinate to Stanišić. The witness heard from
Prodanić that Milošević occasionally attended these meetings. 4627

municipality, to meet with Boro Stanišić. Boro Stanišić was in charge of the military
warehouse in Bubanj Potok 2 outside Belgrade, one of the largest warehouses in the SFRY.
Prodanić would convey information and orders from the morning meetings regarding the
delivery of weapons, ammunition, and other supplies from Bubanj Potok 2 to battlefronts in
different parts of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia to Boro Stanišić. Witness B-179 stated
that, in issuing orders to Boro Stanišić, Prodanić was acting on behalf of the Serbian MUP.
According to the witness, Boro Stanišić and Prodanić were the only two members of the MUP
who were part of the small circle of persons who knew of the distribution of military supplies
by the Association from Bubanj Potok 2. This was because the proper chain of command for
the distribution of weapons, which should have run through the Serbian MoD and the JNA,
was routinely bypassed. Boro Stanišić would give instructions for the preparation of convoys
and trucks would then go to Bubanj Potok 2 to be loaded with weapons and ammunition.
From there, the trucks, most of which were from the Serbian MUP, would depart for the front
lines. 4628
2182. Initially, most military supplies distributed by the Association were destined for the
RSK, where civilians had begun establishing TOs. At one stage, convoys would depart almost
daily from Bubanj Potok for locations in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Witness B-179 testified that he
had personal knowledge of convoys sent to Knin, Gračac, Licka Osijek, Banja Luka,
Nevesinje in Herzegovina, and Trebinje. At each destination there was a contact person,
