Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable Doubtthe premises we were searching - had gone. I ran out on the street thinkingthat our units were attacked, that SAJ and the Scorpions were attacked.I ran, along with Stoparić, Lukić, Zlatko, and Rokvić, towards the place thegunfire was heard from. We were running for some 200 or 300 metresdown the street. As a matter of fact, we did not go down the street, butwe went through yards. When we entered one yard through a narrow passage,I spotted a dead woman on my left side lying on the concrete trailand some six or seven other corpses on the right side of this woman. I sawthey were civilians. It was a very unpleasant event for me. In that moment,I heard some noise on the street. I turned around and saw some membersof the Priština Battalion and the Scorpions. In that moment, I did not seeany Scorpions members in the yard, nor did I spot the members of any otherunit present in Podujevo. I went out on the street with the three aforementionedScorpions members and found some people there yelling andtalking.In that moment, several SAJ members arrived; I know that one of them wasVuk, but I do not know his full name. He saw me and other guys comingout, so he started yelling and cussing at us. I cussed him back. The two ofus got into an argument, which lasted for a short period of time. In that momenthe started yelling at his own brother Dragan Medić aka “Guljo”, Crni,Žuća, and Slobodan Marić. There were some other Scorpions members,whose names I cannot remember. Commander Slobodan Medić “Boca”was yelling at them. Some four or five minutes passed from the moment Iheard the shooting and the moment the SAJ commander arrived, I meanCommander Boca. When he arrived, I heard him speaking to the aforementionedpeople, his brother and others, “You, motherfuckers, I cannot leaveyou alone for a second without you making a mess”. I did not hear themrespond to that at all.The same moment we were ordered to go back on the buses with our platoonsand return to Prolom Banja. I did not know what the reason was forus to go back, except these corpses that I saw. I returned to Prolom Banjawith my platoon and my platoon leader.We did not speak a lot about this event in Prolom Banja, but I did hear therumours that the youngest Scorpions member - also Saša, but his nickname63
