logically fit into a sequence from the JATD’s formalization in August 1993 to the payment
lists which do bear a year (namely exhibits P159 and P1514). In this respect, the Trial
Chamber has also considered similarities in the amounts paid and the format of the payment
lists. The Trial Chamber concludes that these payment lists originate from 1993 and 1994.
The presence of several JATD members on all or most of the lists, combined with the
signature of the JATD deputy commander Milan Radonjić on some of them, demonstrate that
payments were made by the JATD to its members. Based on this and the evidence of Dejan
Slišković and Witness JF-048 reviewed above, the Trial Chamber finds that the Accused
organized the financing of the JATD from at least 21 August 1993 to 15 November 1995. 2737
6.3.3 The Accused directed the the Unit in particular operations in Croatia and Bosnia-
Herzegovina; organized, supplied, financed, and supported the involvement of the Unit in
particular operations; and directed and organized the financing, training, logistical support,
and other substantial assistance or support for the Unit
Ležimir camp and SBWS operations, September 1991-early 1992
1458. The Trial Chamber now turns to the Ležimir camp at Fruška Gora in Serbia and the
related operations. The Trial Chamber will consider whether the Accused directed the
involvement of the Unit in particular operations in the SBWS. 2738 The Trial Chamber will
further consider whether the Accused organized, supplied, financed, and supported the Unit’s
involvement in those particular operations. 2739 The Trial Chamber will also review whether
the Accused directed and organized the financing, training, logistical support, and other
substantial assistance or support for the Unit at Ležimir. 2740 Finally, the Trial Chamber will
consider whether the Accused directed and organized the training of other groups at Ležimir.
1459. In its Final Trial Brief, the Prosecution submits that in September 1991, Simatović
briefed members of the Red Berets in Belgrade and instructed them to establish a camp at
Mount Fruška Gora. 2741 Stanišić stopped by the briefing room. 2742 In autumn 1991, Stanišić
and Simatović established a camp at Ležimir at Mount Fruška Gora commanded by Živojin
2737 Whilst the Trial Chamber notes that there is no payment list in evidence for the time period 1-14 June 1994,
it does not consider, given the number and sequence of per diem payment lists received in evidence, that this
indicates a break in payment. For the reasons set out in chapter 2, the Trial Chamber will not rely on the evidence
of Dragoslav Krsmanović in relation to the per diem payment lists.
