"...When on June 20th Muslims made the attack, we were all disturbed, but were counting on the protection by our Muslim neighbors, and most of all of the very influential family Musinbegovic, whose houses were at some 50 meters distance from ours.
At the time of the attack, Hasib and Jusuf Musinbegovic were not in the village. In our house, the night before between June 19 and 20, 1991, Hasib’s wife Hisveta had spent the night together with her mother Cumra and her three sons. They stayed in our house for as long as the shooting did not stop, at some 14:00 hours. Then they went to their own house for lunch, saying that they will return.
Even before, and especially since the beginning of war, it happened that women from Musinbegovic family together with their children would spend the night in our house - and in the new house at that which were furnished, and in which we of the Vukovic family would sleep from time to time. For this reason, it was not strange to us at all that they came to spend the night with us on that particular night, because our relations were very close.
After they left, my father said that we should give water to the cattle, have lunch and then go all of us together to the center of the village to see what to do next.
My wife at one moment told me that some 20 armed Muslim soldiers are coming, headed by the son of our neighbor Mustafa Musinbegovic called "Dico". Together with him was also Izet Musinbegovic, who was also our neighbor.
We were at that time in the basement and from there we could not see what is happening, because we were preparing lunch. After a short time, I heard the screams of my mother, and then the crying of Miodrag, who was calling Milojko and Zdravko to come to the courtyard. Immediately after that I heard many rounds of fire from the automatic weapon. Then there was silence.
When I went into the courtyard I have seen my father, mother, brother, brother’s son and cousins lying around killed..."

For this reason I left my home with my daughter-in-law and grandchild and on the tractor of our neighbor we started towards Glina.
When we passed Glina, in front of the village of Zirovac, Croat soldiers were waiting for us and they started killing Serbs in the refugee convoy. They were burning down tractors in which Serbs were moving, they were slaughtering and killing on the spot. I escaped in the corn fields with my daughter-in-law and grandchild. All those who did not escape were killed.
Then we returned to Glina. When the convoy started again the next day from Glina, we were attacked again by the Croat soldiers, who started killing people in the convoy. I have seen on that occasion a large number of Serbs killed. This is how a large number of men, women, aged and children were massacred.

On Trebevic there is a cave Kazani into which the Muslim soldiers were throwing the bodies of the killed or live Serbs who were being assassinated in this way also. In order to destroy the bodies of the killed Serbs which were thrown into the abyss Kazani, Muslims were also throwing in it old rubber tires and were burning them.
The commander of this unit was Musan Topalovic, who had "an elite detachment". This detachment could be joined only with an "admission fee" and this "admission fee" was one cut off Serbian head. Members of this detachment were exhibiting heads of slaughtered Serbs in the building of the local primary school.
Members of this brigade were killing some of the Serbs also by tying them down to the truck and dragging them for as long as they were alive. Some were being killed by tying them to two passenger cars which would start in opposite directions, thus dismembering the victims.
Members of this brigade also took part in the sniper shooting of civilians in the Serbian part of Sarajevo. One of the sniper shooters was Colak Refik who was publicly boasting that he personally received as a gift from Alija Izetbegovic the sniper which Alija brought to him from Vienna.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Willful killing of civilians
PLACE AND TIME; Tenja, near Osijek, and Osijek year 1991.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION: When the Croat Antun Gudelj on July 1, 1991 killed Josip Rajhl-Kira, chief of police in Osijek and other persons in Tenja, members of the police force in Osijek, among them Borovicka Zvonko, came to the apartment of the witness and after investigation took away his pistol and a hunting riffle for which he had a permit. Then he was told that he must leave his house in Tenja and must never again return to it for as long as he is not given the permission to do so.
The witness after that left Tenja and went to Osijek, where he and his wife were employed and took shelter with his cousin.
When the witness by the end of September 1991 for the first time was arrested, he was detained in a basement room of the hospital where he was employed. He was accused of "spying" for the former Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and was beaten on that occasion. The arrest was done at his place of work so that all his colleagues could see him arrested and taken away at gun point. The witness was in that way compromised, in view of the fact that he was enjoying a good reputation among the employed in the hospital.
In October 1991 he was arrested for the second time also at his place of work. Then he was accused of being a sniper shooter, firing at the Croat soldiers, which was not true.
The witness was arrested for the third time on December 7, 1991 by three young men in camouflage uniforms, in the house of his cousin where he was temporarily residing. They told him that they are taking him for "informative talk" and have taken him to Dubrovacka Street, to a building on which was a large flag of the HDZ (Croat Democratic Community). They took him to the cellar room in which the witness noticed immediately the traces of blood.
They asked him only one question: "Who are the Chetniks that you know and who are the Chetniks with whom you are collaborating?". Since the witness did not know the answer, explaining that he did not know any such people, they were asking him again and again the same question, and then they started beating him with the truncheon and a gun. On that occasion his nose bone was broken and his scull fractured behind the right ear and many other injuries were inflicted upon him.
When at one moment they took away his wallet, one of them said to the other to destroy the documents, because the witness will not be needing them any longer.
The witness was so much beaten up that he could not walk, and they had to carry him out of the room. His hands here tied with celotape behind his back, and paper was pushed into his mouth and over his mouth a large celotape was sealed. He was thrown into the car type "Audi 80" green in color and was driven to the part of town called Trvdja, on the way to Bastion. At the distance of some 600-800 meters from Basion, they drove to the river bank of Drava where they stopped at the stairs leading down to the river Drava.
He was taken out of the car by the driver and one soldier with a pistol, for whom the witness later learned that his name is Jure Relatic, and was taken down the stairs. Behind them was walking the man they called "chief". There, close to the water, Relatic cocked the pistol and at point blanc fired a shot at the witness’ head hitting him in the left side of the jaw. At the same time, "the chief" pushed him with his foot into the river Drava.
Once in the water, since he was only wounded, the witness pushed his head above the water. Then Relatic fired another shot at him hitting him through the open mouth into the lower side of the jaw. After that they went away.
The witness, although heavily injured, succeeded somehow in freeing himself from the celotape and swimming to the staircase leading to the plateau on the river bank.
When he saw that the same car with the lights on is approaching again, he hid into the bushes. The car stopped at the same place, and Relatic and another two uniformed soldiers took out of the car another person, who the witness recognized under the car lights as Dr. Milutin Kutlic, a surgeon and oncologist from Osijek, who was his acquaintance.
Relatic fired at the head of Dr. Kutlic and his body once slump, was pushed down the stairs into the water. Then they boarded the car and drove away.
With the greatest of efforts, loosing consciousness from time to time, the witness succeeded in coming up to Kugin monument, where he fainted and regained consciousness in the Osijek hospital where medical care was given to him. Then he learnt that some passers-by have found him and took him to the hospital. He also learnt that on that same night another 8 Serbs were killed in Osijek, among them one woman. Although with permanent injuries to his health, he was the only one that survived.
The witness later on learnt that the perpetrators were arrested in Osijek, but that they were soon released.

Serbs were especially at night taken to other premisses and were there mercilessly beaten so that from these premisses one could hear screams and wailing.
There was a talk in prison that Muslim soldiers were bringing in this prison the captured Serbian fighters and during the night in most cases they were dying from the inflicted injuries. After that they would take them out of the prison. I do not know whether those bodies that I have seen were the bodies of these fighters, but I only know that the guards were taking away the dead..."

I have seen five dead Serbs who were taken away after having died from injuries inflicted upon them by beating.
From the cells in which we were kept, we could hear the screams and wails, and when the doors would open we could see the guards taking away Serbs who have succumbed to their injuries. There was a talk that one group of captured Serbian fighters was brought and that during the night they have all succumbed to the injuries and were taken away the next day.

"...Every day we were taken for interrogation and were beaten during the procedure, we were being hit with all the available means: fists, legs with boots on, riffle butts, truncheons...
Since the food was extremely poor and beating was constant, I experienced a terrible weight loss and from 100 kilograms when they captured me, I had only 50 kilograms when I was exchanged.
During my stay in the Central Penitentiary in Tuzla I was taken to dig trenches on Majevica Mount. During every such taking out we were beaten. I excavated trenches during the combat actions. I was twice wounded there.
During my imprisonment in the Tuzla Penitentiary, a large number of imprisoned Serbs succumbed to the injuries.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: in the part of Konjic called Musala, close to the banks of Neretva river, there is a sports hall "Musala" consisting of a large basket-ball hall and halls for other sports with the playgrounds and the audience space. The sports hall itself has a transparent roof, so that the daylight is penetrating. In the middle of the roof structure there is a metal transversa.
This sports hall was transformed in May 1992 into a prison camp for Serbs from Konjic and surrounding places.
Serbs at the beginning were placed in dressing rooms which served as cells, and during the day every one of them had his place in the sports hall where he was forced to sit. According to the estimates, in the middle of the year 1992 there were some 280 imprisoned Serbs there.
When on July 15, 1992 Muslim soldiers from their positions in the place Prevlja shelled the sports hall "Musala" in which there was a prison camp for the interned Serbs, 13 of them died and 8 of the Serb inmates were wounded.
The guards on that day around noon forced all the inmates to take their places in the sports hall. They changed some of the usual sitting places for some of them and then they withdrew. One of the guards climbed to the gallery and holding a pistol in his hand, which was not usual until then, ordered that no one is to move from his place. Then he switched on the ventilation which was also never done before, and withdrew. At some 12:15 hours the first shell exploded above the sports hall. Soon the second one penetrated the roof structure and crushed into the sports hall, ricochetted from the metal transversa and hit the wall on the opposite side and exploded there. Because of the strong explosion, the entire wall was crushed which fell on those who were seated underneath, and the particles were flying in all the directions. From this explosion 14 Serbs died either on the spot, on their way to the hospital or in hospital.
In the sports hall immediately after the explosion the television crews appeared, reporters and their important persons, who blamed Serbs for intentionally shelling the sports hall, giving a significant publicity to the shelling.
All the above stated is leading to the conclusion that the Muslims themselves have shelled this sports hall, which is also confirmed by the testimonies of the interrogated witnesses who have seen the shells fired from the Muslim positions. This is further supported by the fact that not one of the guards was injured, because all of them took shelter in the safe places, which would under different circumstances be incredible.

1. Zivak Novica, of father Cedo, born in 1960.
