2282. A 17 June 1992 report to the Sarajevo MUP stated that Captain Dragan was running a
training camp at Divići in spite of the municipality’s banning of such a camp. 4884 On 14 June
1992, Captain Ljubomir Kitanović, commander of the VRS training centre at Divič, in
Zvornik municipality, reported to Lieutenant Colonel Blagojević, commander of the Zvornik
Brigade. 4885 On 5 July 1992, Blagojević reported that on 4 July 1992, the Zvornik Brigade
closed down the Divič training centre. 4886
2283. The Trial Chamber has further reviewed the evidence of Miroslav Deronjić, a Serb
municipal leader from Bratunac, 4887 in chapter 6.3.3 in relation to the Skelani camp, about
Simatović’s meeting with TO delegations from Skelani and Zvornik in June or July 1992,
where Pavlović was also present, and where the formation of training camps in Skelani,
Zvornik, and Višegrad was discussed.
2284. Based on the evidence of Witness JF-026, the Trial Chamber finds that the Serbian DB
supplied weapons to the Zvornik area in late 1991, and that Branko Grujić, then the president
of the SDS, arranged for these supplies. The Trial Chamber cannot conclude however, that
these weapons were destined for the Zvornik TO, as the TO was only formed at a later stage.
The Trial Chamber has considered the evidence of Witness JF-026 about Stanišić’s meeting
with Grujić before or after the take-over of Zvornik, but in the absence of further information,
the Trial Chamber is unable to determine whether the meeting of Grujić and Stanišić was
related to the arming of the Zvornik TO. Furthermore, the Trial Chamber considers that
Witness JF-026’s hearsay evidence about Pavlović organizing weapons together with the head
of the Loznica DB lacks sufficient foundation.
2285. In view of Witness JF-026’s testimony and the relevant documentary evidence set out
above, the Trial Chamber observes that the Zvornik TO received weapons from the JNA
depots. The Trial Chamber accepts the possibility that Radoslav/Ante Kostić and Marko
Pavlović participated in organising deliveries of weapons to the Zvornik TO. It further accepts
that Pavlović had some contact with Milan Tepavčević, although Witness B-161 did not
provide sufficient foundations for his conclusion that the relations between the two men were
