Slobodan Djajic worked as a driver with “Drinatrans” in July 1995. As he said, he transported women, children and the elderly from Potocari to Kladanjske Luke several times in the period from July 11 to 14.
“Civil and military police safeguarded us. The buses had 46 or 47 seats. We transported as many people in them,” Djajic said, adding that he slept in the bus in Bratunac at night during the entire period.
The witness said that, on the third day he drove men from the school building in Bratunac to Pilica, Zvornik municipality.
“One of them jumped out of the bus and began running away, but policemen shot him,” Djajic said.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges Cvetkovic, former member of the Tenth Reconnaissance Squad with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, with having participated in the murder of at least 900 Srebrenica residents on Branjevo agricultural farm, Zvornik municipality, on July 16, 1995.
Second Prosecution witness Milovan Djokic, former driver with military police of the Bratunac Brigade, said that he once drove food to Potocari, where he saw a mass of people, adding that he then returned to Bratunac.
“My chief sent me as a security guard in front of the school building, where buses with men from Srebrenica were parked. Some men were in the school building too,” the witness said, adding that he then went to a celebration and returned in front of the school building the following morning.
Djokic said that he was ordered to get on one of the buses and escort it to Pilica, which he did.
The trial is due to continue tomorrow, December 17.
