Humanitarian Law Center“During the air strike and before that I was the criminal inspector in theCriminal Police Department. That practically means that I was a chief inone of the secretariats.I have never been in Podujevo. I remember that the General Crime Chief,Miodrag Jovanović, called me in spring 1999, it was April or May. He toldme that I was supposed to go to Prokuplje and interrogate some peopletogether with my colleague from the Niš Secretariat of Interior, KlikovacDuško. He also told me that I would learn more details in the Prokuplje Secretariatof Interior. I found out immediately that two people were broughtand that their names were Saša Cvjetan and Dejan Demirović. I was supposedto interrogate them. As for the documentation, I received the photodocumentation from the scene of the crime. I know that a criminal investigationof the scene of the crime was conducted and the documentationcontained a report stating that the bodies were sent to the Priština ForensicInstitute or some Department in Priština where the bodies were externallyexamined. I found out that the autopsy was not carried out. That wasall the documentation that I had. We talked to the investigative judge MijatBajović as well. He told us that he was at the scene and that he made a reporton that. He told us everything that was in the report and that the scenewith the corpses in the yard that were piled was mysterious. I rememberedone detail. I remember that there were many corpses in one yard, about15, I think. Two corpses were located close to that yard. As far as I can remember,I think one of the names was Gashi. I think that name was put inthe photo documentation below one photo. It was the Gashi family yard. Itis obvious that these people were murdered and it could be seen from thephoto documentation. When I took off from Belgrade, where I met withMiodrag Jovanović, I went to Prokuplje to interrogate two persons who,presumably, were at the scene at the time of the event and committed thiscrime. That was the information I had before the interrogation.My colleague Klikovac Duško and I interrogated Cvjetan and Demirović.We examined them in the Prokuplje Prison. Klikovac and I were with thedefendants during the whole interrogation. Nobody was in the room withus during the interrogation and only one guard was in the corridor. I didnot attend the interrogation conducted by the investigative judge. I amsure that Klikovac also did not attend that interrogation because we weretogether all the time; we did not separate at all. I want to remind you that104
