MILOSEVIC "TRIAL" SYNOPSIS: OCTOBER 21, 2003

Written by: Andy Wilcoxson

The Hague "Tribunal" heard from 2 witnesses today. A secret witness codenamed "B-1122," and Ms. Dobrila Gajic-Glisic.

B-1122 was a prominent member of the SDA in Gacko, which the witness described as a small town in eastern Herzegovina. B-1122 alleged that there was cooperation between the JNA and units of the White Eagles in Gacko.

Under cross-examination B-1122 claimed that the SDS had organized the White Eagle unit that was allegedly in Gacko, and that its ranks were made-up of local Serbs, with the exception of one man who was called "Ljubo," who according to a song that the witness heard had been born in Serbia, the question of whether or not Ljubo had been living in Bosnia before the war remains unanswered, apparently the song didn't say.

Of course, like all SDA members, B-1122 complained that the JNA was dominated by the Serbs. The hypocrisy of the SDA's position here is amazing. This same witness who complained that the JNA was "a Serb army," admitted under cross-examination that when the JNA mobilized it sent call-ups to all citizens of Yugoslavia, but that the SDA instructed the Muslims not to respond to the call-ups.

Unlike the Muslims, the Serbs carried out their obligation to their country and joined the JNA when it mobilized. So of course the JNA had more Serbs in it than Muslims, and for a Muslim SDA member (like B-1122) to complain that the JNA had too many Serbs in it is really stupid and hypocritical.

B-1122 had lots of stupid things to say. For example, B-1122 claimed that more crimes were committed by the Serb (Allied) side than the Muslim (Nazi) side during the 2nd World War. B-1122 also claimed that reading Vuk Karadzic's books, singing folk songs, and playing the gusle (a Serbian musical instrument) incited hatred and nationalism among the Serbs.

B-1122 claims to have knowledge about a meeting that Gen. Momcilo Perisic (on behalf of the JNA) attended in Gacko. According to B-1122 Perisic pledged to protect the civilians, pledged to eliminate paramilitaries, and wanted to form joint patrols in Gacko each made-up of 1 Serb, 1 Muslim, and 1 JNA soldier.

According to B-1122, after the meeting with Gen. Perisic this alleged White Eagle unit left Gacko, but allegedly returned a week later.

All in all B-1122 is just another witness whose so-called "evidence" has nothing to do with Milosevic, nothing to do with Serbia, and is just a pointless waste of time.

After B-1122 finished, Ms. Dobrila Gajic-Glisic was called. Her examination-in-chief was incomplete. Mr. Nice would not allow her to fully answer the questions that he put to her. When she tried to elaborate and explain how things were he would cut her off and wouldn't let her give her evidence. Can you imagine what "Judge" May's reaction would be if President Milosevic ever cut-off a witness and refused to let them answer the questions? I can hear him now, "Let the witness answer!" he would say, but today he just sat there like some retarded bump on a log.  

From what I could gather Ms. Gajic-Glisic wrote newspaper articles for the Serbian daily NIN, and in 1992 she published a book in Serbia called "Srpska Vojska; Iz Kabineta Ministra Vojnoga" [The Serbian Army; From the Minister of Defense's Office]. She was the cabinet chief for the then Serbian defense minister, Mr. Tomislav Simovic. She was tasked with keeping official notes for the Serbian Ministry of Defense, she advised the Serbian information minister and was a liaison to the media.

She was played a tape-recording of an intercepted telephone conversation between herself, Radovan Karadzic, and Tomislav Simovic. The interesting thing is that she didn't remember the conversation, nor did she have any record of it in her notes. Therefore, the possibility is raised that this intercept is a forgery, and that of course calls into question all of the intercepts that the prosecutor has produced.

Ms. Gajic-Glisic's appears to be the next insider witness who will damage the prosecutor's case. Mr. Nice probably knew that he was in trouble when he heard his witness say, "Comrade Slobodan Milosevic saved my life, and I wish to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to him."

Ms. Gajic-Glisic's examination-in-chief will be concluded tomorrow, and President Milosevic will then have the opportunity to cross-examine her and clarify all of the points that Mr. Nice has been endeavoring to obscure and manipulate.
