I was residing with my parents in Sarajevo, in the Brankova Street; now I’m residing in the 21/4 Hiseta Street. I married Ljiljana, maiden name Andrić and we have a minor child together. In the period between 1985 and 1987, I was assigned as a commander of the police station in Hadžići; in 1987 I was assigned as a secretary of SUP in Hadžići, and I had per- formed this function until 1st June 1991. After that, I was transferred to the Police Admin- istration of the then Republic Ministry of Interior of BiH in Sarajevo. At the beginning of May 1992, Jusuf Pušina – the then Assistant Minister of Police, called me and without any explanation took my official ID and my weapon. After that, I took sick leave and, on 15th June 1992, I was issued a rescript on my transfer to the administration department in the Police Administration and my task was tracking dispatches in the field of public order, so I did not perform any operational tasks from that moment. Regarding the official documents, I was issued an accreditation card which I kept on my lapel all the time as a public ID document, in the MUP4 as well as outside of it. As I have already mentioned, I was excluded from all the operational tasks in the police. Privately, I could not move freely through the city anymore, as I could have done before, due to the situation in Sarajevo during that period. There were few Serbs left in the MUP. Certain members of MUP who were extreme Muslims were mounting pressure in different ways to make all the unknown persons leave the police and to have only Muslims, the SDA5 members, in the MUP. Persons who stood out in these actions were Enver Halvadžija, the Secretary of the National Defence in Novi Grad; Avdo Habib, the Assistant Minister of Police; Malik Krivić, Police Com- mander in the Novi Grad Station and Mehmed Kamenica from Goražde, the inspector. By the way, police was generally in some kind of disorganization and in a mess all the way until the middle June 1992, when they started organizing themselves more seriously. Ministry of interior was formed, led by Jusuf “Juka” Pušina, the Minister.

He emigrated in 1993 as an intelligence officer of the Croatian Intelligence Service (SIS), and he was replaced by his previous deputy, Nedžad Ugljanin – the extremist born in Mostar. A group of snipers belonging to the formation of the State Security Service was formed under his direct command. Persons from the group whom I know are Dragan and Boris Šošić, Croats and close relatives. Ugljanin personally came and participated in some of their actions. In September or October 1992, I was able to, circumstantially, see Dragan Šošić returning from one of the actions and writing a report on it. Among other things, this is what he wrote: “I was on a watch on top of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the “Elektroprivreda”. I fired two shots. One of them was successful as I shot a woman in front of the MUP School in Vrace. She was washing the pans, facing away from me”. Ostoja Janković conformed that this murder happened as described by Dragan Šošić. Janković was the head of SDB in Sarajevo before the war, and he was in the reserve police at the time when he talked to me about this. He made a comment on this case in my presence and said: “Fuck this State Security which kills women from the back”. Janković emigrated in 1993 and is currently in Austria. I am not familiar with where the Šošić brothers are. Members of the State Security participated in all the searches of Serbian apart- ments together with the military organs of the security. They were looking for the alleged “fifth column” and the “snipers”. After they would return from these actions, I could hear them say codes like “Fly, fly” – this code meant that they threw a Serb from a high-riser. Cases like this frequently happened in Alipašino Polje and in Novi Grad, but I am not familiar with any concrete cases. As far as I know, the State Security Service was behind the launching of Juka Prazina in Sarajevo. They were fully supported by the Party of Democratic Action, i.e. by Alija Izetbegović, who promoted him to the General and Commandant of all the special units in Sarajevo. This was publicly announced on TV and other media.

He was removed from this position and 1993 and replaced by Omer Stambolić from Hrasnica, a former Head of the Police Station in Stup, where he had robbed
