Index of Names 360 4 5 INTRODUCTION The book in front of you portrays the court truth about the responsibility of Saša Cvjetan, charged with the war crime against civilian population com- mitted on 28 March 1999 in Podujevo, Kosovo. The documents, chronologi- cally sorted, show how a trial, initiated on a factually incomplete and selec- tive indictment, grew into a serious process against denial, lies, and impu- nity. The great merit in this process belongs to Judge Biljana Sinanović who was led in this proces exclusively by the law, as well as to the surviving chil- dren, whose words in the courtroom we listened to with the feeling of shame not being able to look them in the eye. Evidence adduced in the proceedings, which are presented in this book, un- ambiguously show Saša Cvjetan’s individual responsibility, but also the fact that he is not the exclusive perpetrator of this act. Thanks to the witness-in- sider, other “Scorpions” members, who participated in the commission of this crime, were listed in the court documents presented in this book and nobody can help them avoid the criminal liability. Before this book, the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) published a book called Štrpci, which presents the court truth pertaining to the kidnapping of 19 pas- sangers on the Belgrade-Bar train that took place on 27 February 1993. The HLC is dedicating the book Podujevo 1999, the second in a row of Docu- menta editions, to the surviving children Saranda, Fatos, Jehona, Lirrie, and Genc, who put me to shame becasue of their courage, honesty, and kind- ness, and to the victims blown apart by the bullets of the Serbian Ministry of Interior reserve unit called “The Scorpions”: Shefkate, Nora, Sala, Shpend, Shpetim, and Shehide Bogujevci, Fexhrie Blakqory Llugaliu and Nefise Bogu- jevci Llugaliu, Hamdi, Esma, Fitnete, Dafina, Arbër, Mimoza, Albion Duriqi, and other victims of the Serbian Police expulsion operation, which took place on 28 March 1999 in Podujevo. This book was published with the financial support and the understanding of the OSCE Mission to Serbia and Montenegro that the court truth should be available to the broad public. Nataša Kandić 4 5 Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable Doubt The Republic of Serbia THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR The Organised Crime Department “O” str. pov. br.: 230-778/01 11 March 2002 Belgrade DISTRICT COURT - Investigative Department- PROKUPLJE SUBJECT: Requested Report With official documents LINK: Yours Ki no. 33/01 17 July 2001 The Department for Organised Crime acted upon your request to collect the necessary information in order to conduct a successful investigation against defendants Saša Cvjetan and Dejan Demirović in connection with a war crime against the civilian population pursuant to Article 142 Paragraph 1 of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Criminal Code (FRY CC), as well as other offences. It found the following: • Defendants Saša Cvjetan and Dejan Demirović were members of the Scorpions unit in March 1999. • The Scorpions unit was established as a volunteer unit and it was comprised of 128 members. • The Commander of the Scorpions unit was Slobodan Medić, aka “Boca”, and Zoran Manojlović aka. “Srle” was his deputy. The following persons were among the Scorpions - Zoran Vukšić aka “Žuća”, - Željko ukić aka “Brka”, - Dragan Medić aka “Guljo”. 6 7 Podujevo 1999 – Beyond Reasonable Doubt Upon a request of the then Republic of Serbia Ministry of Interior (MUP) Public Security Department Chief, Lieutenant General Vlastimir orević, the Scorpions unit was transferred to the reserve MUP Special Counterter- rorism Units (SAJ) on 25 March 1999 and sent to Prolom Banja for further deployment. At around 18:00 on 27 March 1999, Zoran Simović, the then Belgrade SAJ Commander, went to Prolom Banja to take charge of the Scorpions unit. On 28 March 1999, around 04:00, according to the agreement made with Slobodan Medić, Simović took authority over the Scorpions unit. Upon arriving to Podujevo, Simović and Medić went to the facilities where SAJ was stationed where they found the then Priština SAJ Commander, Radislav Stalević. Medić stayed in the facility where SAJ was stationed, while Simović and Stalević went to the Podujevo Department of Interior to make arrange- ments regarding the further deployment and position of the SAJ reserve unit - the “Scorpions”. While they were in the Podujevo Department of Interior building, Simović and Stalević heard several long bursts of gunfire coming from the direction where the unit was supposed to be located. When Simović arrived at the scene, he was informed that several reserve SAJ members, the Scorpions members, had shot at women and children who were residents of Podu- jevo. Spasoje Vulević aka “Vuk” was the first active duty SAJ officer to arrive at the scene. At the time, he was the commander of the SAJ Support Platoon. At present he is the MUP SAJ Deputy Commander. A SAJ doctor, Dragan Marković, provided first aid treatment for the wounded people, after which they were transferred to the hospital in Priština by a military ambulance owned by the Yugoslav Army. After this event, Simović ordered Medić to take all reserves under his effec- tive command from Podujevo back to Prolom Banja, which Medić did.

It was found Juniperus genus (Juniperus communis L., Juniperus that there are plant species in certain communities oxycedrus L. and Juniperus sibirica Burgsdorf) on that are present only at some altitudes, while others Kopaonik Mountain. Two juniper species were present at almost all altitudes. The species of (Juniperus communis and Juniperus oxycedrus) Hypericum perforatum L. is recorded in all of plant were recorded at altitudes ranging from 420 m to communities surveyed that proves its best 1420 m, while the third species Juniperus sibirica adaptation to the conditions at different altitudes. was found at an altitude of 2100 m.

  • The Comparison of an Analogue and Computer Supported Line Generalisation Following the Concrete Example of the Sitnica River

Accepted 31 May, 2013 Cartography is a science which most presents changes over ever increasing modern computer technologies. A computer supported generalisation of water flow sets its goal on the effects and achievements of modern cartography science, also showing the results and the levels of basic manual generalisation, comparing them with the effects of a digital computer supported generalisation. Every newly made map which represents the territory given sets the goal of comparing the data, showing the newly created ones in the best and most efficient way. As far as the very river flow is concerned, it is the very degree of generalisation that matters as it affects the quality of the map itself. Generalisation is only one of the methods which can be used for that purpose as the results can be applied to different forms of digital maps. Following the concrete example of the Sitnica River system, using the GeoMedia 6.1 software, by means of GeoMedia 6.1 professional programme, the whole Sitnica River system is presented through vectors on the grounds of topographic maps in proportion of 1:25000, 1:50000, 1:300000.

On a 1:300000 multilayer map of Kosovo and Metohia, there are areas which would have been flooded in case of a maximum flooding wave, and what is also shown is the areas which were covered in water as the average was measured, including the areas used as projects of minimal flooding wave value. There is a layer showing the points with regular flood defense, including the places where protection needs to establish. The map includes the ratio of 1:300000, whilst the areas are calculated with the help of processing their dynamic static’s, as well as using the formulae Gumbel Distribution and Weibull Formula. The data have been calculated with their maximum value, including the average and the minimum of flooding period embracing the time of 40 years. Key words: the multilayer digital map, Kosovo and Metohia flood areas, Gumbel Distribution, Weibull Formula Introduction Today, flood modeling is very important when some hydrological features of the river are shown, especially when the potential flooding wave is considered.
