Prosecution witness Milenko Pepic, who was accompanied by a legal advisor, was member of the Second Special Police Squad from Sekovici. He was testifying at the trial of Dusko Jevic, Mendeljev Djuric, Goran Markovic and Nedjo Ikonic who are charged with participation in the murder and forcible resettlement of Bosniaks from Srebrenica.

The indictment alleges that Jevic was commander of the Training Center on Mount Jahorina, Djuric and Ikonic were company commanders and Markovic was a squad commander.

Pepic said he participated in a search of the highland area near the road leading to Potocari and in Sandici in July 1995. However, in line with recommendations given by his legal advisor Rade Golic, Pepic did not want to give any details of the events that took place at that time.

"As the verdict for Kravica crimes says that Milenko Pepic opened and closed the road for traffic while those people committed the murders, the prosecutor would just need a protected witness to indict you," Golic said to Pepic.

Prosecutor Ibro Bulic expressed his dissatisfaction about the frequent interventions by Golic, claiming the questions he posed to would not expose Pepic to prosecution.

“I will not use the records against you, even if you say you killed someone. Do not tell me what you did, but what other people did," he said.

When Pepic refused to speak about the murder of a Skelani Squad member, Bulic gave up.

"I am done with the examination, because this is an example of a scared witness. I consider this an uncompleted examination," Bulic said.

The trial continues on August 26 when Dragomir Vasic, who is also under investigation by the prosecution, will testify.
