 7             Madam Registrar, would you please call the case.

 8             THE REGISTRAR:  Good morning, Your Honours.  Good morning,

 9     everyone in and around the courtroom.  This is case number IT-03-69-T,

10     the Prosecutor versus Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

12             Good morning, Mr. Jordash.

13             MR. JORDASH:  Good morning.  May I apologise for keeping the

14     Court waiting.  It was my fault entirely.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, well it's more exception than rule.  We accept

16     your apologies.

17             Mr. Bakrac, are you ready to continue your cross-examination?

18             MR. BAKRAC: [Interpretation] Yes, Your Honour.  Thank you.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Witness JF-047, I would like to remind you that

20     you're still bound by the solemn declaration you've given yesterday.  I

21     also have to apologise because I don't think that I instructed you

22     yesterday that you should not speak with anyone about your testimony

23     which you're not allowed to do.  Did you speak with anyone about your

24     testimony yesterday?

25             THE WITNESS: [Interpretation] No, Your Honour.

 2     non-existent.  Nevertheless, I apologise also to the parties for this

 3     failure.

 5             MR. BAKRAC: [Interpretation] Thank you, Your Honour.

 8                           Cross-examination by Mr. Bakrac: [Continued]

 9        Q.   [Interpretation] Witness --

10             JUDGE ORIE:  And could you please keep in mind what would be the

11     appropriate moment to turn into private session.  Please proceed.

12             MR. BAKRAC: [Interpretation] Thank you, Your Honour.  I think

13     that my first question will not require a private session.

14        Q.   Witness, you told us yesterday that while you were at Pajzos on

15     two occasions you saw Mr. Simatovic, and then that you also saw him at

16     the briefing; correct?

17        A.   Yes, that's correct.

18        Q.   Witness, after the briefing when you left for Bosnia, have you

19     ever seen Mr. Simatovic since?

20        A.   Yes.

21        Q.   Could you tell us when and where?

22        A.   On the 17th of April, 1993, on the occasion of the celebration of

23     the liberation of Bosanski Samac, he was passing through and he was in

24     company with Mr. Zvezdan Jovanovic.

25        Q.   So you say he was passing through.  Did you ever see him since?

Page 7685

 1        A.   No, not in person.

 2        Q.   Witness --

 3             MR. BAKRAC: [Interpretation] Your Honour, could we now please

 4     move into private session.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  We move into private session.
