Apart from the witness's testimony about the shelling of the southern
Adriatic town, also shown in the court room was a film in which Jusic
registered the consequences of the most severe attack on the town on 6
December 1991.
The witness reiterated that the on 6 December 1991 the Yugoslav
People's Army (JNA) and Navy shelled the cultural facilities in the
Old Town which were under the UNESCO protection.
Asked by the prosecutor whether there were any weapons of the Croatian
army in the city, Jusic answered in the negative.
"Every day I entered the city from the east side and there were no
weapons there. I don't know about the other side, but I never heard of
any weapons," Jusic said. He will resume his testimony on Wednesday
when he will be cross-examined by Strugar's defence attorneys.
Strugar, aged 70, is charged with artillery attacks on Dubrovnik's Old
Town in December 1991 , which were launched by the forces of the JNA
Second Operative Group under his command.
