Testifying before the Cantonal Court in Zenica, he said that he did not know the indictee and that he did not remember having seen him ever before.

Bulajic said that, in July 1993 he was a Commander of a company with the First Battalion of the 111st Brigade of HVO and that he participated in the establishment of a ceasefire, so he knew which units were situated at individual localities in the Zepce surroundings.

He specified that the Zepce Crossroad locality was held by the Army of BiH the whole time and that the Varda locality was not under anybody’s control because it was mined by Serb forces.
Martic, former member of HVO, is charged with having taken, in July 1993, a group of captured members of the Army of BiH, ABiH, from a school building in Perkovici to HVO positions, where he abused them and hit them with rifle butts all over their bodies and shot at two of them.

Witness Bulajic said that it was not possible that the injured parties were transported, on July 9, by car from the Zepce Crossroads to Lovnica and then to Perkovici by an ambulance, because there was only a narrow and steep path to Lovnica and because the ambulance would have had to cross the defence line.

Responding to the Prosecution’s questions, the witness said that prisoners of war were not used for making and arranging trenches.

The trial is due to continue on October 14.
