1445. Given the substantial overlap between the membership and the commanders of the
JATD on the one hand ,and the Unit on the other, the Trial Chamber understands Stanišić to
have, in effect, formalized the Unit as the JATD within the official DB structure.
Consequently and further considering that Stanišić signed decisions on the appointment of
JATD members, the Trial Chamber understands the Accused’s command of the Unit as
described in relation to the Ležimir camp to have continued following its formalization as the
JATD. In its findings below relating to the period after August 1993, the Trial Chamber will
refer to the Unit as the JATD.
1446. From at least May 1994, JATD recruits, including Dejan Slišković, received infantry
and artillery training from JATD instructors at camps at Tara, the Lipovica forest, the Surčin
airport, and the Banjica security centre. Instructors of the Serbian MUP Public Security
Specijalna Anti-terrostička Jedinica under the command of Radovan Stojčić (a.k.a. Badža)
also provided training for JATD recruits and later became JATD members, including Janko
Kereš, Dragan Leštarić, Saša Jovanović, and Draško Suvara. Considering that Milan
Radonjić, Major Filipović, and Zoran Raić were present during the training of the new
recruits, the Trial Chamber is satisfied that from at least May 1994, the Accused organized the
training for the JATD at camps at Tara, the Lipovica forest, the Surčin airport, and the Banjica
security centre.
1447. The Trial Chamber will now review whether the Accused directed and organized the
financing of the JATD from August 1993 to 1995.
1448. In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution alleges that after the formalization of the JATD
the Serbian DB made regular per diem payments to active and reserve JATD members, as
recorded on payment lists. 2707 The Trial Chamber has received evidence with regard to
financing, through documentary evidence and through the testimony of Dejan Slišković and
Witness JF-048.
1449. The Trial Chamber received in evidence numerous per diem payment lists referring to
time periods between 21 August to 31 December, with no year provided on any of the
documents. The names of JATD members Radojica Božović, Davor Subotić, Nikola Pupovac,
Radomir Rašković, Milenko Milovanović, and Zvezdan Jovanović appear as beneficiaries on
each of these lists. The names of JATD members Slobodan Majstorović, Dragan Oluić,
Dragoslav Krsmanović, Miomir Popović, and Dragutin Stanojević can be found in the
2707 Prosecution Final Trial Brief, 14 December 2012, paras 279, 281.
