RATKO MLADIĆ PUBLIC WITH PUBLIC ANNEXES A & B DEFENCE MOTION PURSUANT TO RULE 92TER TO ADMIT THE WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF TOMISLAV SAVKIĆ ________________________________________________________________________ The Accused, RATKO MLADIĆ, by and through his counsel of record, respectfully submits the instant Motion pursuant to Rule 92ter of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, and in support thereof states as follows: I. INTRODUCTION 1. Pursuant to the Guidance previously expressed by the Trial Chamber, motions offering written statements under Rule 92ter of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence are to be filed at least 30 days before the anticipated testimony of a given witness. Witness Tomislav Savkić is currently scheduled to testify in the next 30 days and thus the Defense hereby files the instant motion in compliance with the Chamber’s guidance, and applying for the evidence of this witness to be heard pursuant to Rule 92ter. This Motion is filed publicly, as the witness does not require protective measures. 2. Herein this application is made to tender one written witness statement of the witness, with four associated exhibits. At this time the Defense estimates that the evidence-in-chief of this witness will last up to 30 minutes. IT‐09‐92‐T 1 September 2014 2 81798 3. The Defense does not otherwise seek to deviate from the Chamber’s Guidelines in tendering this witness’ evidence. II. APPLICABLE LAW 4. Under Rule 92ter of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence (hereinafter “Rules”) a Trial Chamber is permitted to admit the evidence in whole or in part in the form of a witness statement or transcripts of a proceeding before the Tribunal, under the following conditions: i) the witness is present in court; ii) the witness is available for cross-examination and any questioning by the Judges; and iii) the witness attests that the written statement or transcript accurately reflects the witness’s declaration and what the witness would say if examined.1 5. A party calling a witness pursuant to Rule 92ter may seek to admit into evidence documents that have been discussed by the witness in his or her witness statement of previous testimony.2 III. DISCUSSION OF ARGUMENTS A The Chamber Should Admit the Witness Statement 6. Witness Savkić’s statement is relevant, reliable and probative, as set forth in greater detail herein below. 7. The witness will be present at trial, and thus will be able to attest to the evidence and will be available to be cross-examined by the Prosecution. Thereby the 1 Rule 92ter of the Rules of Procedure and Evidence. 2 Prosecutor v. Karadzic, Case No. IT-95-5/18-T, “Decision on Prosecution’s Submission regarding Additional Transcript Pages from Momcilo Mandic’s Stanisic and Zupljanin Testimony for Admission into Evidence.” 8 September 2010, para.5. IT‐09‐92‐T 1 September 2014 3 81797 requirements of Rule 92ter will be fulfilled, and fairness to the Prosecution will be observed. 8. The Defense submits that due to the nature of the Witness’s testimony 45 minutes will be necessary in order to conduct a limited and focused direct examination of the witness to clarify, expand on, and contextualize aspects of his evidence directly relevant to the Defense case. 9. In 1984, after completing his compulsory military service, the witness Savkić was employed at Bokslt in Milići where he worked until the outbreak of the war. In mid-1992 the witness was appointed commander of defence of the Bokslt mine, and on 1 November 1992 was assigned as Commander of the First Infantry Battalion in Milići. On 1 November 1993, the witness became President of the Milići Municipal Assembly and no longer carried out military duties. 10. Witness Savkić’s testimony is relevant to and probative of salient and material issues pertaining to the Indictment. The Defense is confident in that it will, among other things, establish the following: a. The circumstances and ethnic composition of employees of the Bokslt company prior to the war.3 b. In late1990 inter-ethnic problems began to escalate, particularly with the establishment of the national political parties.4 c.

A total of 194 interviews were carried out, covering 30 villages or towns within 12 municipalities, with minority returnees to the RS who had either fully returned or were in the process of return. The purpose of the this study was to gauge the national protection afforded to minority returnees to the RS, the living conditions of returnees, as well as the positive and negative factors which affect the sustainability of return. For example, interviewees were asked questions about security, schools, pensions, health care, etc. Through the 194 interviews, UNHCR was able to obtain information on 681 persons. Broken down by ethnicity, there were 657 Bosniacs, 13 Bosnian Croats, and 11 Other which included Serbs in mixed marriages, people of mixed ethnicity and several people of other nationalities who had immigrated to BH before the conflict. 20% of the study group was over 60 years old (elderly), 54% was between the ages of 19-59, 20% was school age (7-18 years), and 6% was 0-6 years old.
