Koricanske stijene Prosecutors Present Documents
05 July 2010 Prosecutors at the trial of five indictees charged with crimes at Koricanske stijene have presented documents attempting to prove “the managerial function” of Dusan Jankovic.
State prosecutor Slavica Terzic said the letters, decisions and orders sent to the Public Safety Station, PSS, in Prijedor could prove that Jankovic performed a managerial function in the summer of 1992.
“I present, as prosecution evidence, a letter dated August 1, 1992, requesting an engagement of 300 policemen in the Trnopolje, Keraterm and Omarska reception camps. The letter was signed by Dusan Jankovic on behalf of Simo Drljaca, chief of the PSS in Prijedor,” Terzic said.
Prosecutors allege that Dusan Jankovic was commander of the PSS in Prijedor and participated in escorting a convoy of civilians travelling from Prijedor to Travnik on August 21, 1992.The indictment alleges that about 200 men were separated from the rest of the convoy on Mount Vlasic and shot at Koricanske stijene.
Zoran Babic, Milorad Radakovic, Milorad Skrbic and Zeljko Stojnic, former members of the Interventions Squad with the PSS in Prijedor, are also charged with participating in the killings.
Among other documents presented was an order issued by the Crisis Committee in Prijedor in June 1992 requesting the PSS form an interventions squad.
Defence lawyers for Jankovic objected, questioning the relevance and lawfulness of most pieces of evidence presented by the prosecution.
The next hearing is scheduled for July 6 when the prosecution will examine protected witness KA1.
