usually a civilian, designated by the Serbian MUP. Based on conversations he overheard
between Boro Stanišić and Prodanić, Witness B-179 concluded that in 1992 alone the
Association participated in the transportation through Bubanj Potok of over 1,200 truckloads
of weapons and ammunition. Witness B-179 was personally involved in a number of convoys
delivering weapons and humanitarian aid. 4629 The convoys did not require any permits to
cross checkpoints controlled by the MUP, because the police were informed that the vehicles
would be passing and were instructed not to check them. 4630 Arranging checkpoint access for
the convoys was the responsibility of Prodanić. Citing the name of Crnčević made it easy to
secure passage in most places. 4631 In a 9 December 1998 letter to the Serbian Minister of
Interior, Milan Prodanić admitted that as advisor to the head of the DB, he had been actively
involved in helping the Serbian people in the RSK and the Bosnian-Serb Republic since
September 1990 and that he had dispatched various types of aid on a daily basis. 4632 Milan
Prodanić became the advisor in the Republican SUP on 17 July 1990 and on 13 April 1992,
he was appointed Chief of the 8th Administration of the Serbian RDB by Jovica Stanišić. 4633

Prodanić, most of the documents relating to the transport of weapons to the front line was

the DB when they searched his house. On 25 March 1992, Witness B-179 received a

thanking the witness for his efforts in providing assistance to the TO and the Serbian people
