organized the financing, training, logistical support, and other substantial assistance or
support for this unit at camps at Tara, the Lipovica forest, the Surčin airport, and the Banjica
security centre.
1428. In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution submits that around 4 August 1993, Stanišić
formalized the Red Berets as the JATD. 2645
1429. Radivoje Mičić, a former employee of the AOS and the 2nd Administration of the
DB, 2646 testified that in 1993 the Serbian Minister of the Interior established the JATD as a
unit within the Serbian DB, for anti-terrorist activity. At that time, the JATD was based in
Lipovica and also had an office on the same floor as the 2nd Administration in DB’s Belgrade
Centre. The office was used by someone named Milenko, and also by Radonjić and Dragoslav
Krsmanović, though very rarely. 2647
1430. The Trial Chamber has not received in evidence an official Serbian DB document
establishing the JATD within the DB. Witness JF-095, a BIA special advisor involved in
coordinating requests for assistance sent by the Tribunal since November 2006, 2648 testified
about the alleged existence of a Serbian DB decision of 4 August 1993 to establish the JATD
within the DB. The witness was part of a commission that looked into the purported existence
of documents subject to a Prosecution request for assistance in 2009, including an alleged 4
August 1993 decision to establish the JATD within the DB. 2649 The commission reported that
it never found the document, but concluded that it probably existed and that there were
reasonable grounds to conclude that such documents were destroyed. 2650 The commission
further concluded that the JATD was the first ad hoc unit formed by the Serbian DB and the
witness testified that it existed between August 1993 and April 1996. 2651 The commission
interviewed several persons in January and February 2009. 2652 The Trial Chamber has
2644 Indictment, paras 3, 5, 7, 15(c).
