Humanitarian Law Centerwho committed the crime, there would be no trial because he would beconvicted at the spot. The Scorpions unit is created as a military formationwithin the regular Srpska Krajina Army. Later on, it fought in Bosnia andCroatia. This unit’s task was to defend the fatherland and, at the same time,to be honest and brave. Whoever did not behave in such manner, could notbe a member of our unit. During each formation of the unit I would preachto my soldiers how each of them should behave.”The court asks the witness to explain why it was ordered that the Scorpionsunit should leave Podujevo, if it was so, and who gave that order to him.“I repeat, I was wondering the same thing all the time, I do not know whymy unit was withdrawn. Simović gave that order to me, known among usas Tutinac. However, I did not ask him what was the reason for my unit tobe withdrawn, but I only acted upon the superior’s command.After such an order was given, I ordered my soldiers from the Scorpionsunit to line up and get on the buses and we returned to Prolom Banja immediately.One platoon under Žuća’s command returned to Prolom Banjain the afternoon by a vehicle escorted by SAJ.The court asks me to say if I did anything or undertook some measures todetermine whether my soldiers committed the murder of the civilians, butI think that I have already answered that question. We did everything thatwas in my power and the power of the SAJ Commander, but we did not determinethat any Scorpions member shot the civilians.The court asks me to evaluate soldiers Cvjetan and Demirović. If I was supposedto evaluate them I would say that they are very good, but that wouldbe a military evaluation, which would mean that they are good or excellentif we have in mind the evaluation for regular people.I am saying that I knew and it was an order in the SAJ that every soldier wasobliged to report to the unit if he found weapons in the field. Upon our returnfrom Podujevo to Prolom Banja, two pistols and a rifle were reported.Cvjetan reported one pistol.That is my testimony. I did not hide anything. I told truth and nothing butthe truth before this court and that is why I made the declaration.”80
