lims returned to Goražde through the border area of FR
Yugoslavia. Among the Muslim combatants, inhabitants
of Bukovica village recognized some people who once
lived in Pljevlja municipality, including several who
had moved to Goražde, Čajniče and other places in
Bosnia 15 years ago, as well as those who had moved
out and joined Muslim units five or six months ago. Two
days after this Muslim army passed through, 11 Bukovica
Muslims whose close and distant relatives were recognized
as members of the Muslim unit which committed
the crimes in villages around Čajniče, were taken
away. 73
The police chief also denied rumors that more than 11
Muslims had been abducted: ”It is not true that 28 Muslims
were taken, still less is it true that 39 Muslim citizens
who reside in Pljevlja municipality were implicated
in the crimes in the Čajniče area.“ 74
In March 1993, the HLC was able to confirm the circulation
in Pljevlja of a list of Muslim members of the Green
Berets who allegedly took part in the offensive on
Čajniče on that February. In a letter to the Pljevlja Police
Department, the Bosnian Serb police authorities in
Čajniče said there were ”grounds to believe that these
committed genocide against the Serb population in
Šapići, Trpinje and Ponikve villages. In the event that
they are located, they are to be arrested and the Public
Security Center in Čajniče informed, citing telegram No.

Džemail and Samir (father: Zaim) Bungur; Husein
