described as the “original 28”, who were at Fruška Gora during the witness’s time there. 2797
Other unit members included: a person called Andić; Rade and Božo Božić; Rajo Božović;
Major Fićo; Živojin Ivanović, a.k.a. Crnogorac; Boro Kovačević; Neven Laka; a person

instead. 2801 While the witness was operational in the unit, his beret bore a badge marked with
the flag of Serbia. 2802 It was from this point on that the unit began to be known as the “Red
Berets”. 2803 According to the witness, only those in the region who had been trained by the
Red Berets would have dared to wear a red beret, and this remained the case until at least
