I also assume that the president of the court knew how investigativejudge Mijat Bajović was working and what he was doing. I donot know if the president knew that Stanković received a fee. I did not sayanything about this to the district prosecutor.”Defence counsellor ore Kalanj asked a question and the witness answered:“When we took off from the court building to the prison building, I wenttogether with Judge Bajović. Since we went together down this road, Iclaim that Judge Bajović did not take the backstreets to look for an attorney.I was going maybe five or six times a month to the prison building toattend the interrogations of the detainees. I did not leave my ID card at theentrance to the building because nobody asked me to. This was probablybecause they knew me. I do not know whether or not my name was registeredsomewhere when I was entering or leaving the building.”It is noted that the witness gave the following answer to one of the questions:“I do not know how it happened or when it happened that the note of deliveryof the investigation opening order addressed to attorney DragutinStanković was signed.”Defence counsellor Goran Rodić asked the witness a question and she gavethe following answer:“As a court reporter working for the investigative judge, I was filling in thenotes of delivery and the return letters and with them I was packing decisionsand other written documents, then I was giving this to the courier,who was sending this away. Any other of my colleagues does this when Iam away. Even the investigative judge would sometimes give some documentto some party to sign it when I am away. As I have already said JudgeBajović and Prosecutor Nikolić were friends. It happened sometimes thatafter the interrogation the prosecutor and the investigative judge wouldgo home together. I know this because I was going with them sometimes.253
