49304 2272. The Trial Chamber has further reviewed the evidence about the arrest of Legija and three other men on the eve of the Zvornik take-over and Pavlović’s role in securing their release, but considers that this evidence neither shows that Pavlović participated in the formation of the Zvornik TO, which already existed at the time, nor that his actions were in any way linked to the Accused. In fact, the Trial Chamber notes that JNA officials also intervened with the Muslim police in relation to the arrest of the four men. 2273. In view of the above, the majority, Judge Picard dissenting, is unable to conclude that the Accused directed and organized the formation of the Zvornik TO. 6.7.6 The Accused directed and organized the financing, training, logistical support, and other substantial assistance or support to the Zvornik TO units 2274. According to the Indictment, the Accused directed and organized the financing, training, logistical support, and other substantial assistance or support to the Zvornik TO. 4849 In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution submits that the Serbian DB began sending arms to Zvornik municipality in November 1991, and later it supplied weapons through Kostić and Pavlović. 4850 The Trial Chamber will now review the evidence it has received in this respect. 2275. The Trial Chamber will begin with the evidence on the arming of the Zvornik TO. Witness JF-026 testified that the distribution of arms to the Serbian population in Zvornik started in 1991, and was carried out, besides the legalisation of weapons already in possession of Serbs, through the legal distribution of arms to 450 reserve policemen and to reserve JNA members, and through illegal channels from Croatia and Serbia. 4851 The weapons from Serbia were provided by the JNA and the Serbian security services, which the witness testified referred to the security services of the Yugoslav MoD, MUP, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 4852 In particular, of the weapons distributed in Zvornik, at least two thirds of the quantity distributed in the autumn of 1991, and 90 per cent of the overall quantity was from the JNA depots and warehouses, in part distributed through the SDS, and the remaining 10 per cent from Baranja. 4853 The federal MUP, MUP of the Republic of Serbia, and the Bosnian- 4849 Indictment, paras 3, 5, 15(c). 4850 Prosecution Final Trial Brief, 14 December 2012, paras 631-633. 4851 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 31; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14884-14885; Witness JF-026, T. 9723. 4852 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 32; Witness JF-026, T. 9667-9668, 9844-9845. 4853 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 34; P1701 (Witness JF-026, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 23 and 26 May 2003, 5 June 2003), p. 21184; Witness JF-026, T. 9719-9721, 9789.

49303 Serb MUP would take care of the transport of weapons provided for by JNA and TO. 4854 Most of the weapons were distributed directly to the JNA reserve members. 4855 Witness JF-026 estimated that a total of 2,000 to 3,000 weapons entered the Zvornik area before the war broke out. 4856 The first batch of approximately 30 weapons was transported around the end of October or the beginning of November 1991 by boat across the Drina river. 4857 This transfer was carried out by the Serbian SDB and arranged by Branko Grujić, the president of the SDS municipal board in Zvornik. 4858 According to the witness, Branko Grujić was in contact with Radmilo Bogdanović on several occasions. Grujić told the witness that he also met with Jovica Stanišić in Mali Zvornik, but the witness could not determine whether this occurred before the Serb take-over in Zvornik or later. 4859 2276. Witness JF-026 further testified that in relation to arming, Radmilo Bogdanović, who was the president of the committee for Serbs outside of Serbia, referred the SDS municipal leadership to Radoslav Kostić, who secured 200-300 weapons from the JNA depot in in the Baranja region in Croatia. 4860 Kostić and Marko Pavlović were both involved in the organisation of transport of weapons which took place when the ceasefire in Croatia was signed. 4861 Pavlović explained to the witness that his task was to distribute weapons to the Serbian population in case of war. 4862 In late autumn 1991 or in the beginning of 1992, both Bogdanović and Kostić also participated in the organisation of the transport of 100-300 weapons from Belgrade to Zvornik, which Bogdanović previously mentioned he could obtain from the Serbian TO. 4863 According to the witness, Bogdanović, who had previously held 4854 D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14932-14933. 4855 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 31; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), p. 14911; Witness JF-026, T. 9705-9706, 9719, 9789. 4856 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 48; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14928-14929. 4857 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 32; P1701 (Witness JF-026, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 23 and 26 May 2003, 5 June 2003), pp. 21183-21184; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14884-14886; Witness JF-026, T. 9804. 4858 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), paras 19, 32; P1701 (Witness JF-026, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 23 and 26 May 2003, 5 June 2003), p. 21183; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14886; Witness JF-026, T. 9804. 4859 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 91; P1701 (Witness JF-026, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 23 and 26 May 2003, 5 June 2003), p. 21175; Witness JF-026, T. 9837-9838. 4860 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 36; P1701 (Witness JF-026, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 23 and 26 May 2003, 5 June 2003), p. 21182-21183; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), p. 14901; Witness JF-026, T. 9704-9705, 9730-9731. 4861 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 36; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14901, 14911, 15028-15029; Witness JF-026, T. 9670, 9684, 9730-9731, 9873. 4862 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), para. 41. 4863 P1700 (Witness JF-026, witness statement, 16 December 2008), paras 39-40; P1701 (Witness JF-026, Slobodan Milošević transcript, 23 and 26 May 2003, 5 June 2003), pp. 21181-21183; D215 (Witness JF-026, Šešelj transcript, 12-13 January 2010), pp. 14889-14891, 14899-14901.
