Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable Doubtfendant. They usually contact the prosecutor. It is possible that I saw themif they were in the prosecutor’s office, but I certainly did not speak to themabout the case. It is possible that I ran into Oparnica in the hallway. I heardof Oparnica for the first time in relation to this case, and I had never seenhim before this.Since I was presented with a part of witness Oparnica’s statement where hesaid that he spoke to me and that I told him that I was at the scene and thatI made a record on this, I say it is possible if he said so, but I really do notremember.
