Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable Doubtme, because I told him what the crime was, that there were two defendantsand they needed to have a lawyer.We conducted the interrogation in the district prison premises. It was a biggerroom. Court reporter Radica Marinković, attorney Dragutin Stanković,defendant Saša Cvjetan, and I were in the room and, I think, a prison guardwas coming in an out from time to time. The head of the prison did notcome during the interrogation and neither did the police officers, exceptfor this prison guard. The interrogation lasted for some two hours, I am notsure. When the interrogation was over, attorney Dragutin Stanković said hecould not bear it anymore because he was sick of what he heard. He washolding his stomach and when I begged him to stay to interrogate the otherdefendant, and I told him that he did not have another lawyer, he toldme he barely handled the first interrogation and he could not stay anymore.He left and I went outside the building with him because at this momenthe held his stomach and heart and I was scared for him. I accidentallyran into attorney Šubaranović. I think he had run away somewhere andhe was returning. I asked him to go with me and interrogate the other defendant.He hardly accepted, but he did come with me and he was presentwhen I interrogated defendant Demirović. I think that this interrogationdid not last long and we left the prison building during the working hours.I did not drop by the head of the prison.As far as I can remember, I went home from there because I remember thatlater on I received another call because I had to conduct some other investigation.When I came home I phoned Prosecutor Nikolić and told him I interrogatedthe defendants. He was also at home because he was not feelingwell and he said there was no problem and he would issue the investigationorder. He asked me if I kept the defendants in detention and I saidthat I did keep them in detention until the prosecutor gives his opinion andissues the investigation order request. He issued the investigation order requestand proposed detention against the defendants. I did not see himagain after this. I want to say that at the time I was going to Kosovo on dailybasis conducting investigations during daytime and during night-time.It is noted that the witness said that at the end of every interrogation, heasked defendants if they have anything to add. I am sure that I asked defendantSaša Cvjetan the same question and he said no.231
