Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable Doubtother members of the Scorpions unit there whose names I could not remember.The commander, Boca, was dressing them down. From the momentI had first heard the shooting to the arrival of the Special AntiterroristUnit commander, in my opinion, four to five minutes had gone by. AndI mean the commander Boca. With the arrival of Boca I heard him addressingthe persons I had mentioned earlier, his brother first of all, and the others,using the words: “You motherfuckers, I can’t leave you a moment alonewithout you causing some shit”. I heard no response on their part. At thesame moment, an order arrived for us to board the buses, each one withhis own platoon, and that we were to go back to Prolom Banja. I didn’tknow the reason we were going back, but for having seen those corpses.The buses took us, and me, back to Prolom Banja, with my platoon and theplatoon commander.Not much was said about this in Prolom Banja, although there was a rumourabout the youngest member of the Scorpions, named Saša, too - whoI used to know as Šilja, not knowing his family name - being in the courtyard,but I don’t want to implicate him and make problems for him.In Prolom Banja we had regular activities, like any other army unit, and Ifailed to learn anything about who had committed this crime. No memberof the police came to Prolom Banja and nobody questioned me, at least.We spent some ten days in Prolom Banja whereupon I spoke with the commander,Slobodan Medić, and told him we were going back to Vojvodina,to return the arms we had been issued, and that, after some time, wewould be engaged anew. It was in Prolom Banja that we returned the armsissued to us.The court is asking me to explain how I came to find the pistol and the cigarettelighter. After the men, women and children had left the two housesand the courtyard, as I had already said, I found, in the street in front ofthe gate, a Dupont gold cigarette lighter. It was only later that I learned itwas a gold lighter. I found it after I had fired a volley in the air and the civilianshad gone down the street. At that moment, I didn’t know where Rajkowas, but I was returning to the house, to check it, and I found the pistolthere, as I have already explained.269
