Defence, concluded that problems in the Krajinas must be resolved within the framework of
the Federal SUP, and whether the Serbian MUP would be involved, was to be seen. 4666
2196. Furthermore, the Trial Chamber has reviewed several documents concerning requests
and orders for unhindered passage for the RSK and the Serbian MUP officials. 4667
2197. In relation to the training of the SAO Krajina Police, the Trial Chamber first recalls its
finding in 6.3.2 in relation to the Golubić camp, that from late April or early May to July
1991, the Accused directed and organized the training of the SAO Krajina Police and the
SAO Krajina TO members at the Golubić camp. The training, which on average lasted
approximately 20 days, was of a military character and included weapons and ambush
training, as well as the treatment of POWs and the treatment of civilians in armed conflict.
2198. Having considered the evidence reviewed in this chapter, the Trial Chamber observes
that between 1992 and 1995, members of the SAO Krajina Police received further training,
including at the Golubić camp which was converted into a police school in early 1992.
However, the Trial Chamber has not received any evidence indicating that the Serbian DB or
the Accused played a role in directing and organizing training of the SAO Krajina Police or
TO during these years. Evidence on the school operating under the patronage of the Serbian
MUP does not, in and of itself, implicate the Serbian DB. Consequently, the Trial Chamber is
unable to conclude that the Accused directed and organized training for the SAO Krajina
Police or TO members after July 1991.
2199. As to the financing of the SAO Krajina Police, the Trial Chamber first recalls that in
chapter 6.6.2 it observed that the SAO Krajina Police received money through private
donations. The Trial Chamber further recalls its findings in the same section that on at least
two occasions between December 1990 and May or June 1991, Simatović personally brought
bags of cash to Milan Martić in Knin and that with the financial support of Stanišić, Martić set
up at least two new Serb police stations in the Krajina after January 1991.
2200. The Trial Chamber will now move to the specific findings on financing of the SAO
Krajina Police following its formal establishment on 29 May 1991. On the basis of the
evidence of Witness DST-043 and Witness JF-039, the Trial Chamber observes that after its
4666 P2351 (Records of the 190th Session of the SFRY Presidency, 11 March 1992), pp. 1-2, 39-41.
4667 P1551 (Observations related to prior evidence documents shown to of Witness JF-041, 13 October 2010), pp.

RSK MUP in Knin to the RSK SUP, signed for receipt by Stevo Kresović, 30 March 1993); P2666 (Letter from
