Prosecutors presented the trial of five men charged with war crimes at Koricanske stijene with material evidence that they allege prove indictee Dusan Jankovic’s managerial role in August 1992.
The documents included a letter from Stojan Zupljanin, the chief of the Safety Services Center, CSB, in Banja Luka on August 25, 1992, asking all municipal ministries of internal affairs, MUP, to provide him with information about the number of non-Serbian detainees and missing persons in the Prijedor area.
Zupljanin is on trial before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, for war crimes committed in the Bosanska Krajina area.
The letter was forwarded on to Ranko Mijic and signed by Jankovic.
“The letter was addressed to Ranko Mijic, and it contained Dusan Jankovic’s original signature. On the basis of the letter we can see that Jankovic continued performing a managerial function even after the crime had been committed,” said prosecutor Slavica Terzic.
Jankovic is charged as commander of the Public Safety Station, SJB, in Prijedor, along with Zeljko Stojnic, Zoran Babic, Milorad Radakovic and Milorad Skrbic, former members of the Interventions Squad with the SJB in Prijedor, with having participated in shooting about 200 men at Koricanske stijene on Mount Vlasic on August 21.
Jankovic’s defence attorney Ranko Dakic said it was not possible to see from the document “in what capacity the indictee signed the letter”.
The trial is continues on August 17.
