38786incident in relation to Counts 1 and 4 of the Indictment in chapters 5.6.2 and 5.8.2 (f)below.1015. The evidence <strong>al</strong>so indicates that on 10 August 1995 Oklaj was 95 per centdestroyed. However, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber has received insufficient evidence as to thecircumstances under which and by whom the village was destroyed. Under thesecircumstances, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber will not further consider this incident in relation toCounts 1 and 5 of the Indictment.Razvoñe1016. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber has received relevant evidence with regard to <strong>al</strong>legeddestruction and plunder in Razvoñe in Oklaj municip<strong>al</strong>ity primarily through th<strong>et</strong>estimony of Philip Berikoff. In this respect, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber has considered evidencefrom this witness (reviewed in chapter 4.2.1), P1183 and P2349 reviewed in chapter4.1.15 (Stevo Berić and others - Schedule no. 7), and D282 reviewed in chapter 4.2.14(Oklaj town). According to the 1991 Population Census, the population of Razvoñeconsisted of 160 Serbs out of a tot<strong>al</strong> of 507 persons in 1991. 38611017. Based on Philip Berikoff’s evidence, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that on 10 August1995 persons referred to as HV/HVO soldiers took unspecified items from buildings inRazvoñe, in Oklaj municip<strong>al</strong>ity, and placed them on vehicles. Based on Berikoff’sdescription of these soldiers as HV/HVO, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that these personswore military-type uniforms. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber notes that no further d<strong>et</strong>ails areprovided as to the factu<strong>al</strong> basis for the qu<strong>al</strong>ification as HV and/or HVO soldiers.However, according to Berikoff, a Croatian check-point manned by Croatian soldiersand military police appeared in Razvoñe following Operation Storm. Considering <strong>al</strong>sothat on 10 August 1995 the 142nd HV Home Guard Regiment was present in the widersector of Oklaj and Promina village, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that at least some of thepersons wearing military-type uniforms were members of the HV. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamberhas, however, received insufficient evidence linking these HV soldiers to the burninghouses that Berikoff noticed in Razvoñe on 10 August 1995. The evidence indicates thatin 1991 Razvoñe was approximately one-third Serb and two-thirds Croat, and that on 103861 C5 (State Bureau of Statistics Population Census of 1991, Nation<strong>al</strong> Structure of the Population ofCroatia According to S<strong>et</strong>tlement), p. 74.529Case No.: IT-06-90-T 15 April 2011 `
