various arms: injures were caused by heavy artillery projectiles;
explosions of mortar, tank, artillery guns and other shells;
multiple rocket launchers; air-raids or air-strikes; employment

village in order to find someone to help him bury Ante Jurilj
(born 1910) and his wife Andja (born 1909). Since he found no
one, he set out to his house. However, he had to hide, because he
saw an armed YPA soldier in his yard. The soldier wore a mask,
but the witness recognized him by his hair. It was Savo Djukic
from the nearby village of Klakar. He set off to the woods in
which the witness hid at night. The witness did not leave his
shelter. Soon, he heard a gun shot. After three hours, he
gathered courage and went into the woods. There he found the body
of Ante Jurilj (Martin's son). The victim was shot in the head.
Alarmed, the witness ran from the woods. On May 14, 1992, he met
members of the Croatian Defence Council. He told them what had
happened and took them to the woods. There he noticed that a
cross was carved with a knife on Ante Jurilj's right arm. The
witness took the soldiers of the Croatian Defence Council to Ante
and Andja Jurilj's house. He heard when the soldiers said that
they were first killed from fire-arms, and then their throats
were slit. All three victims were buried in the Catholic cemetery
in the village of Donje Vrelo.
PERPETRATORS: A YPA soldier - Savo Djukic (Serb) from the village

departure, YPA soldiers and the local Serb population looted, and
set on fire Croat owned houses, took away agricultural vehicles,
and killed Croat civilians. Some local Serbs burnt their houses
and sheds, to ensure that no one would use them any more. A group
of Serbs led by Goran Vukman (all of them were Serb villagers of
Donje Vrelo) looted Andja and Ante Jurilj's house, and took away
their agricultural vehicles. During the night of May 13/14, 1992,

Babajic, Ramic and Ibrahimovic from the village of Glogovo and forcibly taken to the Moslem village of Cizmici and closed in the house of Camil Muratovic. He was beaten.
     On 25 June Mitrovic's sons were on the hill called "Cuka", in the
neighborhood of Cizmici, when they heard Moslems calling them, proposing to
negotiate on the exchange of Mitrovic. They wanted to see their father first, and they took him out in front of Camil Muratovic's stable. Mitrovic could hardly walk with the help of a stick; he shouted that he was alive and well.
     In exchange for Mitrovic they demanded 5 tons of flour or 5 boxes of
ammunition, which his sons did not have. Then they shouted to them: "Send your
mother Jovanka. We have no one to fuck; we'll give you your father back".
     Mitrovic's sons felt humiliated and asked in despair their friends to kill
their father so that Moslems could not torture and humiliate him any more, but
they refused.
     Mitrovic was taken to the prison in Gornji Potocar, where Beslic, the
warden, beat him daily; one day he hit his head against the wall, and when he

     1.1.6. The witness S., a Serb married to a Moslem called Senad Bujak from
Gorazde, from the beginning of armed clashes till her escape to Serb territory
(July 1994), was maltreated and beaten by her husband Senad, who became a Moslem soldier. Coming home drunk, he would beat her, usually striking her with his
fists in the small of her back and cursed her "vlaska" (Serb) mother. She begged him to kill her and put an end to suffering, but he would beat her even more and finally force her to have sexual intercourse with him.
     Data on perpetrator: Senad Bujak, from Gorazde, a Moslem soldier.
     EVIDENCE: Minutes of testimony of the witness B., in the Committee files
under no. 440/94-10.
     1.1.7. In May 1992, Moslem soldiers evicted a group of Serbs from their
apartments and homes in the Colony "1 May" in Gorazde and put them in two
buildings under guard. Among these Serbs was the witness M. The confinement of
these Serbs, in total isolation, lasted 12 days, after which they were allowed
to return to their homes, provided that in the meantime, they were not taken by
the Moslems.
     Since the witness M.'s apartment had been hit by a shell, she approached
Hasa, a deputy mayor of the local community of Efendici, but Hasa refused to talk to her.
     In addition to this, the family M. was subjected to various insults and
humilations (called "chetniks" etc.), and suffered from hunger, since there was
no food.
     EVIDENCE: Minutes of testimony of the witness M., in the Committee files
under no. 205/95-3.
     1.1.8. At the beginning of armed clashes, Moslem soldiers forbade Serbs to
leave their apartments. The building in which the family of the witness B. lived was controlled by a soldier called Bekto.
     On one occasion, when the witness B. went out into the street and met with
T., a uniformed soldier called Kustirica approached them and told them that both of them, as well as other Serbs, would be killed if Serb soldiers failed to stop shooting from the nearby hills and that it was the order of Hadze (mayor of
Gorazde).
     Some twenty days after the beginning of armed clashes, Betko took M. and
the witness B. from the apartment, and together with J., I., and Z. put him into the cellar of a building next door, belonging to Bosko Bjelakovic. There they
spent two months in isolation, and after that were taken back to their
apartments. On April 24, 1994 the apartment belonging to M. and the witness B.
was broken into by Anel Berinac from Visegrad, with three more Moslem soldiers.
He forced them to leave the apartment in five minutes, so that they went to Z.
     Berinac with two other Moslems went later to Z.'s apartment and threatened
the witness B. that he would kill her, saying that he had found a pistol and some bombs in her apartment, which was not true.
     The witness B. and her mother M. left Gorazde on August 22, 1994, with
severely impaired health due to hard life, hunger and mental suffering caused by constant threats and tortures.
     The family L., the parents of M., were driven away from their apartment in
the Marsala Tita str. no. 13 in Gorazde and together with other Serbs locked up
in a building which was the target of artillery shelling. Moslem soldiers
prevented them from seeking refuge from the shells in the basement of the
building.
     When the family L. returned, they found their apartment completely raided
(food and all valuable things had been taken away). Isolated, without food,
deprived of contacts with their family, they died in 1993. Moslems provoked the
witness B. and two other Serbs who buried the dead, throwing stones at them and
saying: "One dog less".
     DATA ON THE PERPETRATORS:
     1. Beko, a Moslem soldier from Visegrad,
     2. Kustirica, a MOslem soldier,
     3. Anel Berinac, from Visegrad, a Moslem soldier.
     EVIDENCE: Minutes of the testimony of the witness B., in the Committee
files under no. 440/94-4.
     1.1.9. On June 26 1992, Moslems in uniform drove away the witness S. from
her aprtment in the 1. maja street no. 15 in Gorazde, and took her to a former
canteen, where about 75 Serbs were already being held in captivity. They were
held there for three days and threatened that they would all be killed. When S.
returned to her apartment, she found the door forced and all valuable things
taken away.
     In April 1994, Moslems in uniform drove her out of the apartment again, and until she managed to escape from Gorazde (July 8, 1994) she lived with 16 other
persons in the house of a Sebian woman.
     As all other Serbs, she also suffered from lack of food, since they
received no aid, as opposed to Moslems.
     EVIDENCE: Minutes of the testimony of the witness S., in the Committee file under no. 440/94-6.
     1.1.10. In July 1992, armed persons in uniform drove the witness U. out of
his apartment in the 1. maja str. no. 34 in Gorazde and took him to another
building in the same street, where he was put, together with seven more Serbs,
into a room measuring 4 x 4 metres. Apart from a girl aged about twenty, the rest of them were mostly elderly people.
     There they kept them for 15 days. They provided no food, but took them
occasionally to their own apartments to search for some food, if there was
anything left.
     When they came home, the witness U. found his apartment robbed. Later on,
the Moslem family Isakovic from the village of Gojcevic moved into his apartment. Before moving in, a girl from that family hurried him to vacate the apartment, saying that all "Vlasi" (Serbs) should be killed.
     EVIDENCE: Minutes of the testimony of the witness U. in the Committee files under no. 440/94-7.
     1.1.11. In mid-July 1992, members of the Moslem army and police forced a
considerable number of Serbs in Gorazde to vacate their apartments, so that
Moslem refugees could be accomodated in them. About 75 of them, men, women and
children, aged between 7 and 70, were taken to a building in the Mose Pijade str. across the street from the building of the state police. They were squeezed into four apartments, so that there were up to 12 of them in one room. They were guarded by 4-5 p
olicemen, who prohibited them from contacting each other.
     While throwing out the witness H. and his family from their apartment,
Hodzic Sefko, head of the police patrol, read to H. the decision of the War
Presidency, signed by Hadzo Efendic, on the formation of so-called "Center for
Isolation of Serbs". The alleged purpose of this was to protect Serbs from Moslem extremists and to prevent Serbs in Gorazde from cooperating with Serb units outside Gorazde.
     In this camp the Serbs were held for about three months, in highly
inadequate sanitary and other conditions. Once a day they were given boiled
unsalted nettle, and every eight days a piece of bread. They slept on the bare
floor, since there was no furniture.
     The imprisoned Serbs approached Ibro Causevic, president of the Red Cross
of Gorazde, asking to be given food as humanitarian aid. He showed them the
decree of the War Presidency, signed by Hadzo Efendic, stating that the Red Cross should not give Serbs in islation any food, since food for them was provided from other sources.
     The Serbs confined in this camp were exhausted due to severe conditions of
life. Their health was seriously damaged and they suffered from excessive lose
of weight (for example, the witness H. lost 41 kg while in the camp). Two
sisters, aged 55 and 60, one of whom was named Slavka, both died while interned
in this camp.
     The camp was located about 150 meters from the front line and was,
accordingly, exposed to frequent shellings from both sides. The interned Serbs
asked one policeman to convey to the chief of the police, Ibro Merkez, their
appeal to let them hide in the corridor of the basement of the building during
heavy fighting. The policeman came back with Merkez's message: it is better for
them to shut up, or else he would personally come up and tie them all to the
window sills.
     Cedo Jovanovic, a teacher from Gorazde, was killed by a granade, while five more Serbs were wounded: Vlatko Vojinovic (shrapnel in the leg), Rastko
Vukmanovic (neck), Slavko Popovic (neck), Vlado Nedimovic and another man.
     When they were let out of the camp, the interned Serbs did not have
anywhere to go back to, as their apartments had been occupied by Moslems. They
had to manage as well as they could.
     On getting out of the camp, H. pleaded with chief of police Merkez to help
him get back his apartment, occupied in the meantime by Fadil Fakovic. Merkez
told him that the apartment was appropriated by the War Presidency, and that he
- Merkez - only implemented the decisions of the Presidency.

   The Times, July 12, 1996:

   Arrest of two war leaders ordered
   sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
   BY BEN MACINTYRE

   THE Bosnian war crimes tribunal at The Hague yesterday issued
   international arrest warrants for Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic,
   making the Bosnian Serb leaders international fugitives from justice,
   and possibly opening the way for a commando operation to capture them.

   The World Court also ruled it had jurisdiction to hear charges,
   brought by Bosnia, that Serbia was the driving force behind the war.
   It is the first time a nation has been charged with genocide before
   the UN court. "We will have a chance to show that what happened in
   Bosnia was not the act of a few men," Bosnia's UN ambassador, Mohamed
   Sacirbey, said yesterday.

   The arrest warrants issued by Claude Jorda, the tribunal judge, a year
   after the men were first indicted means they can be arrested in any UN
   member country.

   The move will renew pressure on the major powers to bring about the
   capture of the Bosnian Serb leader and his military commander.

   Senior Western diplomats meeting in London on Wednesday agreed jointly
   that the "right place for Dr Karadzic is The Hague". The option of a
   military "snatch" operation to bring the men to trial has been
   discussed in Washington.

   Hearings into the genocide indictment ended last Monday, after a
   succession of witnesses described the horror of the "ethnic cleansing"
   campaign. Prosecutors accused the Bosnian Serb leaders of planning and
   co-ordinating it, and one witness alleged General Mladic witnessed
   mass executions of Muslims.

   "The question is what people will do with these arrest warrants," Mr
   Sacirbey said. "Neither the living nor the dead have justice now."

   Any hope Dr Karadzic and General Mladic may have had of heading into
   comfortable exile have evaporated, as any country sheltering them
   would lay itself open to the full wrath of the international
   community.

A testimony to Servian Evil.
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssss

"A country which employs a Lazitch," said the French diplomat whose
testimony I have mentioned, "dishonours herself. This minister is a man
of blood...I have seen him at work!"

I, too. I was at Belgrade, in July 1932, dining at the Excelsior
Restaurant behind the royal palace, with my old friend Dragomir
Stefanovitch, former charge d'affaires of Serbia at Paris during the War.
Lazitch came to sit down next to us. Stefanovitch who knew him introduced
us. I noticed his intelligent, hard eyes and brutal jaws. His nails were
black, but he talked well.

He had just returned from Macedonia where he had been organising the
State Police. I noticed one thing particularly, all the while he was
animatedly telling us risque stories about women, he did not stop picking
little flies from the table cloth which he would hold for a moment
struggling between his fingers. Then, without stopping his flow of talk,
gently, one by one, he tore off their wings, and with the end of his
cigarette, tapping lightly, unhurriedly, he forced them to crawl by
burning their abdomens.

"With the Macedonian women also," he said to us, "in order to render them
amorous, when they are insensible, we place hot irons on a good spot."
