municipality. Units under the command of Ferid
Buljubašić massacred five persons in Ponikve - two
women and three children. 77
Toholj noted that Serb combatants identified among others
Samir Bungur from Pljevlja municipality as a member
of the units under the command of Ferid Duraković, a
senior officer of the Čajniče Brigade. 78 The attack on
Čajniče became topical again two years later when the
Belgrade weekly Telegraf interviewed Republika Srpska
army commander Dragan ”Čaruga“ Mastilović who said:
It was then that about 3,500 Muslims carried out an allout
attack on Čajniče; even Staroniće village, which was
at the time defended only by commander Milan Kornjača
and a few villagers, was attacked. When we subsequently
analyzed the event, we arrived at the conclusion that the
Muslims entered the area by way of Montenegrin territory.
Upon returning to Čajniče, we decided to burst into a
Muslim border village in Montenegro and capture a few
villagers to further investigate the whole case. We filmed
the captured villagers so that we have a tape of them
admitting that no less than 200 Muslim combatants infiltrated
into Montenegrin territory before the attack on
Čajniče, and that the villagers hid them in their homes. We
informed the State Security of the Republika Srpska and
sent copies of the video tape to the competent state and
military authorities of FR Yugoslavia and Serbia. The then
FR Yugoslavia President Dobrica Ćosić personally urged
that we return the captured to Montenegro, which we did.
But no one in authority in Montenegro ever said why that
happened. 79
