Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable DoubtSince parts of my statement given before the Prokuplje District Court,which are different from the statement I gave today, were presented to me,I give the following statement: As for the date, it is true that everything happenedin May and not in April as I said incorrectly.

I exclude the possibility that Šubaranovićattended the examination of Cvjetan because he told me later on that heattended the examination of Demirović.
