Stanisic, who works with the SIPAs Section for Investigation of War Crimes, was invited to testify by the Tuzla Cantonal Prosecution, because Defence attorney of the four indictees – Miodrag Stojanovic objected to authenticity of minutes made during the examination of Aleksandar Jovic.
Jovic, former prison guard in Smoluca, confirmed at this trial that parts of the minutes were not authentic and that the minutes contained some things that he did not say.
I said which members of Republika Srpska police entered the prison premises, but I do not know what happened inside after that. The minutes say that I named the people who mistreated prisoners, but that is not true, Jovic said, pointing out that he signed the minutes without reading them.
Stanisic explained that Jovic said all the things included in the minutes.
The crime in Smoluca is charged upon Milorad Cvijanovic, known as Micko, Milorad Cvijanovic (son of Milan), Svetomir Ilic and Vaso Ilic. According to the charges, the former members of the Territorial Defence of the Serbian Republic Army committed war crimes against prisoners of war in Lukavac municipality in June and July 1992.
The trial is due to continue on March 25, 2013.
