“I remember a man named Tuta. Also, I knew the Prosic guy by sight, but I do not remember his name. I heard that ethnic cleansing was conducted in Sanski Most in 1992. Younger people took part in it. Prosic was a younger guy. I stayed in Lusci Palanka, because older men stayed. People went to Sanski Most in order to clean it of Muslims,” said Dusan Railic, former member of the Sixth Sana Brigade of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS.

Railic told the Court that he was a member of the Anti-armour Squad in 1992 and that Prosic was not a member of that Squad.

The witness said that soldiers took their automatic weapons with them when they went to Sanski Most, and that his comrades told him that the indictee “attacked Muslim houses”.

“I heard members of my unit say that he wanted to figure as some big Serb. I heard that he attacked Muslim houses, but I do not know what exactly he did. I heard that he was arrested by police. People spoke about it in the Command,” Railic said, adding that he did not personally see that the military police arrested Prosic.

Predrag Prosic, a former member of the Sixth Sana Brigade of VRS, is charged with having participated in a widespread and systematic attack on villages in the Sanski Most area and the persecution, detention, setting houses on fire and murder of non-Serb civilians.

According to the charges, on May 27, 1992 Prosic entered Hilmo Hegic’s house, where nine civilians, including a pregnant woman, were present and killed them. He then allegedly set the house on fire.

In addition, Prosic is charged with having participated in the deportation of civilians and detention of civilians in detention facilities in Sanski Most, from which some men were later transferred to Manjaca detention camp.

The witness said that he saw Prosic in passing, but rarely during 1992.

The trial is due to continue on September 28.
