Simatović would never write in such a manner. 2548 The Stanišić Defence likewise contends
that the order is an obvious forgery designed to implicate Simatović and contends it would
have been illogical to move from the fortress to the Golubić training camp in June 1991. 2549
The Trial Chamber will further consider this document below.
1387. The Trial Chamber now turns to the evidence of Witness JF-031, Milan Babić, and
Witness JF-039 regarding the Korenica camp.
1388. Witness JF-031, a Serb from Knin municipality, 2550 testified that in late August 1991,
after the unit returned from Plitviće, Simatović informed a select group of 28 men from
Golubić that they were to move to Korenica, 120 kilometres to the north. 2551 All the men were
young – between 20 and 25 years old – and had previously been associated with the Krajina
MUP, the Krajina TO, or the JNA. 2552 None of them had prior associations with the Serbian
DB. 2553 Živojin Ivanović was involved in the selection process. 2554 One or two weeks after the
operation in Plitviće the witness, accompanied by Simatović, Goran Starčević, and a person
known as Boki, drove to Korenica. 2555 In command of the camp in Korenica were Major
Filipović, a.k.a. Fića or Major Fićo, who was a subordinate or deputy of Simatović and a
professional member of the Serbian DB, Saša Medaković, and “Rambo” Vučković. 2556
1389. Milan Babić, who was the Prime Minister of the SAO Krajina, 2557 testified that after
August 1991, Simatović’s base was established in Korenica, and many Serbian DB men were
present in the area. 2558 Babić stated that he met Frenki at Korenica prior to August 1991. 2559
