Bukovica
Describing the journey, Šljuka mentioned an event
which clearly illustrates the Muslims’ fear of the JA. As
they approached the all-Serb village of Kolibe, they
noticed a military vehicle; Osman Ramović immediately
opened the car door and ”ran away as fast as he could.“
Šljuka and Matović continued to the house of Petar
Radović, Matović’s father-in-law who, alluding to the Muslims
in the party, asked his son-in-law why he had
brought them. Nonetheless, they sat down and had coffee
and plum brandy. The JA had a camp near by and
often passed by the Radović house. That day, the soldiers
came twice while Šljuka and his companions were there:
They carried out the search by pointing their weapons at
us and ordering us to raise our hands and keep them up
until they said we could put them down. I don’t know the
whereabouts of Edin Ramović, who had come with me
and was, I think, under age, while this browbeating was
going on but, at one point, I saw him running out of
Petar Radović’s house toward the nearby woods. The soldiers
fired after him but he was lucky and they missed.
Among the soldiers, Šljuka recognized Slobodan Lečić
who struck him several times in the chest with the butt
of his rifle and knocked him down. He described what
happened next:
In which NC Šula confirms that the house, three stables, barn and two
shacks of Osman Ramović, born in Vitine village and currently residing
in Sarajevo, were burned in 1992. All the above buildings were located
in the territory of the Republic of Montenegro.
This certificate has been issued at the request of the above in order that
he could regulate the issue of his housing in Sarajevo where he now
resides, and cannot be used for other purposes.
