According to some information, mentioned at that time were the
names of "guard member Vidacek, Ilija aka Stuka from Sid, Stanko
Vujanovic, a former taxi driver in Vukovar, and mentioned during
the Homeland War were Slavisa Pavlovic, the commander of the
Vukovar territorial unit and a radical from Smederevo, and several
other volunteers from a Serb Radical Party unit which was commanded
by a civilian known as Kameni (Stone), "Vreme" writes.
"In the morning after the executions, a volunteer from Smederevo,
while having coffee and brandy, said, 'We were killing them from
five in the afternoon until one in the morning. They begged, cried
and said they had not shot at our people...' Ivica Andric, also a
volunteer, that morning took out from his pockets golden jewellery
and rings taken off the killed people and divided them among his
fellow fighters," Vreme writes.
In the article, Dulovic says that protected witnesses, whose names
were still not known, testified against officers of the ex-Yugoslav
People's Army, indicted by the Hague-based international war
crimes tribunal, at a public hearing on March 28, 1996.
