Humanitarian Law Center“We arrived in Podujevo by buses and we were told to stay in the buses untilthe commander came back. We did not have a formed platoon becausewe did not receive the schedule yet. We stayed on the bus for some timeand then we went to look for some accommodation because the air strikewas ongoing and we heard shooting from all sides.I went together with Brko (that is witness Željko), Nikola Kovačević, MiloradMomic, and one boy from Šid known as Sarma, to look for some accommodation.There were some other people with us that I did not know.We found one house, which was some 300 or 400 metres away from theplace where our buses were parked. I think that there was nobody in thathouse we entered. I stayed in front of the house. I did not enter the house. Itook insulin because I have diabetes, and I ate something. Then I heard theshooting from diverse infantry weapons from the light machine gun to differenttypes of automatic and semiautomatic weapons. The shooting wascoming from the direction of the buses, so we headed that way. When wecame at the scene, everything was already over. I got sick then and, as myfriends told me later on, they took me to the bus where I got well again. Igot well again when we came to Prolom Banja because, usually when I loseconsciousness, I have to lie down and sleep for a while. Before we came atthe scene, I saw that they carried somebody. Only later, when I was examinedbefore the Prokuplje District Court did I hear that civilians were killed.I did not see anything else, but a crowd of different soldiers at the scene. Afterthat, we spent another several days in Prolom Banja before we returnedhome. My brother Slobodan Medić was the company commander, but Idid not ask him why we were supposed to return.Since I heard the difference between this statement and the one I gave earlier,I declare that my today’s statement given in this main hearing sessionis true. I saw they were taking somebody out of the yard and only later ondid I find out that those were civilians that they were taking. I did not seewhen they bandaged somebody because I could not see that, but I assumethat was the doctor who bandaged them and I know that SAJ has a doctor.When I came some 30 to 50 metres away from the scene there was acrowd of people, soldiers and police officers. Several of us, who went insidethat house that I mentioned before, returned together when we heardthe shooting. There were several other Scorpions members that I did notknow. Defendant Saša Cvjetan was not with me. And I did not see him at156
