receiving their salaries from the RSK. 4810 The witness, who moved to Ilok on 2 November
1991, following his appointment as police commander of Ilok, produced a document
addressed to Vlastimir Đorđević, the chief of the police administration in the MUP of Serbia,
to inform him about food supplies for the Ilok police station and asked who the relevant
invoices should be delivered to. 4811
2253. In view of the evidence of Knežević, Witness C-015, Witness JF-015, and Witness JF-
032, the Trial Chamber finds that some time between August and September 1991, Radovan
Stojičić a.k.a. Badža took over the command of the SBWS TO and police. The Prosecution
submits that TO commander Badža was paid by the Serbian MUP while he was in the SAO
SBWS and that his later links with Stanišić show that he was subordinated to him. 4812 The
Trial Chamber has addressed these submissions in chapter 6.4.4 where it concluded that the
evidence in this respect lacked sufficient foundation and that even if there were some
connections between the TO commander and the Serbian DB, it was not sufficient to show
that the Accused controlled the TO. In making these findings, the Trial Chamber has further
considered the evidence set out in this chapter. The Trial Chamber further notes the evidence
of Milomir Kovačević about rumours that Badža was subordinate to the Serbian DB, but in
view of its assessment of this witness’s credibility addressed in chapter 2, it will not rely on
his evidence in this respect.
2254. Based on the evidence received, 4813 the Trial Chamber finds that sometime between
mid-August and late September 1991, volunteers from the Serbian MUP SJB arrived to the
SBWS. They were followed by policemen from the Serbian MUP SJB, 4814 under the
command of Veljko Bogunović, who joined the SBWS TO. Dušan Knežević, Nebojša
Bogunović, and Trajković, all from the MUP SJB provided infantry and specialist training to
SBWS TO and police members. Miodrag Zavišić, also from the Serbian MUP SJB and the
SJB police officers were charged with establishing additional police stations in SBWS.
Stanišić, although not participating in the discussion, was present at the Belgrade meeting

4812 Prosecution Final Trial Brief, 14 December 2012, para. 162; T. 20195, 20221.
4813 The evidence of Nebojša Bogunović, Dušan Knežević, Gvozden Gagić, Witness JF-029, Witness JF-032,
and Witness JF-015.
4814 The Trial Chamber notes that Nebojša Bogunović testified that the policemen came from the Krajina MUP.
In view of the evidence received in this respect from other witnesses, in particular that these police officers came
from Croatia, the Trial Chamber considers that Bogunović erred in his assessment of who had sent these police
units to SBWS.
