Humanitarian Law CenterI told him that he would read the record and we would ask him if he hasanything else to add. And the defendant really read the record before hesigned it and said he had no objections. I do not know if these questions ofmine were put down on the record, but I did ask him this as I usually do. Ido not know whether his answers were put down on the record, but I usuallydid this. I know that I dictated the record along with the defendant’sanswers to my questions pertaining to the ex officio defence attorney, butI do not know if this was put down on the record. Now I see that you arealso examining the court reporter and that this is some sort of manipulationif it is not on the record and I certainly did read it out. Now it could turnout that nothing of this is on the record and I certainly read it out. I retiredin the meantime and God knows what this is now. I know that I signed therecord and I do not know if the court reporter signed it. I did not read therecord before I signed it. I do not know if the fact that mother and childrenwere killed was mentioned in the record and the scene I have previouslydescribed to you and which upset me was probably in the criminal complaint.I had a criminal complaint in front of me and I asked the defendantif he did what was alleged in this criminal complaint.Before I went to Bijelo Polje to re-interrogate defendant Saša Cvjetan I knewthat he had a defence attorney in Prokuplje. It was Filipović Božidar. I knowthis because he introduced himself to me and I also called him to comealong with me, but he was not there. I informed defendant Saša Cvjetanthat I was looking for this Filipović, but he was not there and the defendantsaid he had an attorney in Belgrade. Then I asked him if he wanted meto go back home and return to interrogate him when his defence attorneyarrived, but he refused this. I did not influence the defendant in any way togive his statement without his defence attorney during the interrogationin Bijelo Polje. I gave the exact statement during my interrogation beforethe Prokuplje District Court and God knows how my statement was takendown. I do not know either the first or the last name of the court reporter,who went with me to the interrogation of the defendant in the BijeloPolje prison. I even heard from the earlier Acting Public Prosecutor VišeslavBukumirović that there was the court reporter’s first and the last name onthe record from the interrogation of the defendant in Bijelo Polje and I haveno idea what this version that is being presented to me is. Neither VišeslavBukumirović nor another prosecutor attended the interrogation and sincethat was their case, I assume that the interrogation records were forward-238
