 2                           [Open session]

 3                           [The accused not present]

 4                           --- Upon commencing at 9.10 a.m.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Good afternoon -- good morning to everyone in and

 6     around the courtroom.

 7             Today we'll have a housekeeping session but I'll first invite

 8     Madam Registrar to call the case.

 9             THE REGISTRAR:  Good morning, Your Honours.  This is case number

10     IT-03-69-T, The Prosecutor versus Jovica Stanisic and Franko Simatovic.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

12             The accused are not present.  Chamber was informed that both

13     accused have waived their right to be present today and that's not new

14     for housekeeping sessions.

15             Mr. Jordash, Mr. Petrovic, that is correct, I take it?  I haven't

16     seen yet the paperwork.

17             MR. JORDASH:  That's correct, Your Honour.

18             MR. PETROVIC:  [Interpretation] That's correct, Your Honour.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Now, next time if the accused waived their right to

20     be present, the Chamber advises you not only to inform the Chamber but

21     also the Registry because otherwise transport police is waiting and

22     there's all kind of confusion.  I do understand that Chamber has been

23     informed, but the Registry not, which caused quite a bit of fuss this

24     morning, so if you would please keep that in mind for future occasions.

25             Then I have quite a number of items on my agenda.  We'll start


Page 15069

 1     with the items which were found already in the Scheduling Order, and I

 2     start with what the Registry was supposed to prepare.

 3             Madam Registrar, has an English translation been attached to

 4     Exhibit P1287?

 5             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honour.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  It has been attached in e-court; therefore it now is

 7     part of it.  Then has the English translation of Exhibit P767, which was

 8     an erroneous translation, has it been replaced with document

 9     ID 0202-7320?

10             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honour.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Then have English translations been

12     attached to the documents with Exhibit numbers D280 up to and including

13     D290?

14             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honour.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Has document ID 1D06-4194 been attached to document

16     D266?

17             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honour.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  The next one needs a bit more attention.  The

19     Chamber has instructed the Registry to attach document 1D04-6949 to

20     document D274, but this -- under this document identification number we

21     also find a B/C/S attachment, whereas it was only intended that an

22     English translation should be attached to D274.  Therefore, the Stanisic

23     Defence is invited to detach the English translation -- the B/C/S

24     attachment so that only the English translation remains and that then

25     should be attached to D274.  Is this clear?  Madam Registrar, any


Page 15070

 1     questions in relation to this?

 2             THE REGISTRAR:  No, Your Honour.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Then has 1D05-6514 been attached to document D310?

 4             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

 6             Then I go through instructions given to the parties.  First,

 7     Prosecution, has a surrogate sheet been uploaded for Exhibit P2977?

 8             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, it has, Your Honour, um, it's been uploaded

 9     with doc ID V000-7024.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, Madam Registrar, that should then be attached

11     to surrogate sheet too, or does it get a separate number?

12             THE REGISTRAR:  No, Your Honour.  It can be attached [Microphone

13     not activated].

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Then it should be then attached to P2977.

15             Ms. Marcus, has a B/C/S version of Exhibit P243 [Realtime

16     transcript read in error "P2493"] been uploaded which corresponds to the

17     English version.

18             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  It's uploaded under doc ID

19     0209-4822.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

21             Madam Registrar, if something is uploaded, I take it that if it's

22     mentioned here, that you can attach whatever is uploaded to the original

23     document and if there are any problems, I'd like you to raise your voice,

24     and in the absence of any comments, we'll just move on.

25             Ms. Marcus, has a revised English translation been up loaded of


Page 15071

 1     Exhibit P813 which includes the translation of the pages 4 to 8 of the

 2     original document?

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  It is uploaded under doc ID

 4     X019-6203-EDT.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Then next on the agenda:  Has a revised

 6     document Exhibit P1050 corresponding to its English translation?

 7             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, it has.  It's uploaded as doc ID 0608-0177-ET.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Ms. Marcus, have revised English

 9     translations of Exhibit P1040, P1041 and P1042 been uploaded

10     corresponding in scope to the original documents?

11             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  For Exhibit P1040, we have

12     uploaded doc ID 0263-3400-EDT.  For Exhibit P1041 we have 0263-3404-EDT.

13     And for Exhibit P1042 we have 0216-2249-EDT.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Then moving to the next one, has a B/C/S translation

15     been uploaded of Exhibits P1043 and an English translation of

16     Exhibit P1011.

17             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, with respect to these documents, they

18     are the constitution, the SFRY constitution.  The difference between the

19     English and the B/C/S was that there were extra sections included but the

20     actual articles were corresponding, the English and the B/C/S.  So what

21     we've done is we've undertaken to ask the language assistants to compare

22     the two documents and we -- what we've done is we have made them

23     corresponds according to -- just to the articles of the constitutions.

24     So those corresponding versions, which I think Your Honours will find now

25     match each other, the English to the B/C/S, we have uploaded those two


Page 15072

 1     versions as 65 ter 2868.1 and 65 ter 715.1 respectively.

 2             So we would propose, with Your Honours' leave, that those 65 ter

 3     numbers be uploaded one as P1011 and one as P1043.  They now correspond.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  I hear of no objections.

 5             Madam Registrar, is this workable for you?

 6             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we have -- we have new content for

 8     Exhibit P1011 and P1043, although not that much different from what it

 9     earlier was.

10             Has a revised English translation been uploaded of Exhibit P839

11     which includes translation of the pages 13 to 16 of the original,

12     Ms. Marcus?

13             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, I have two doc IDs for this.  One

14     is X019-6320-BCST and X019-6329.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  That is one for the B/C/S and one for the English

16     translation?  What makes it two documents now?

17             MS. MARCUS:  Just one moment, please, Your Honour.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

19             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, apparently the original document has

20     some B/C/S and some English.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

22             MS. MARCUS:  So the B/C/S is the translation of English and

23     vice-versa.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, Madam Registrar, is that clear enough for you.

25             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.


Page 15073

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Next one:  Has a correct English

 2     translation been uploaded of Exhibit P732.

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  It's uploaded at doc ID

 4     0218-6591-EDT.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Has a revised B/C/S version of Exhibit P853 been

 6     uploaded in which extraneous -- the extraneous page 3 has been

 7     eliminated?

 8             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, it's uploaded as doc ID 0109-8852.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Then has the Prosecution verified

10     whether P1287 is a duplicate of P2482, and what is the result?

11             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, we've compared the two documents.  They

12     are the same original text but one of the documents has a lot of

13     additional markings on it which, for us, are relevant.  Therefore, our

14     proposal -- so the difference is P1287 is from the Croatian state

15     archives, and it contains the stamp of the Republic of Serbian Krajina,

16     whereas P2484 is from the ABiH archives, does not contain the stamp but

17     has handwriting which includes Roman numeral II and what we submit are

18     the initials of Franko Simatovic.  Therefore, the stamps and notations at

19     the end of these documents are different.  We uploaded the same

20     translation for both, which was incorrect because P2484 with the stamp

21     not appearing, it does appear in the translation.  So we would submit

22     that there should be two separate documents and we will undertake to

23     provide a revised translation for P2484.  We have submitted it already

24     and we anticipate that it should be ready sometime this morning.  I'll

25     keep Your Honours informed of that.


Page 15074

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, so the two documents remain known under their

 2     individual numbers and a new translation is being prepared for P2484.

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Correct, Your Honour.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Madam Registrar, P2484 was already admitted into

 5     evidence, let me just check.  Yes, I think it was.  It doesn't appear on

 6     the MFI list.

 7             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Therefore, it should be marked that a new

 9     translation is being prepared at this moment and should then replace the

10     translation which was attached to it until now.

11             Has an English translation been uploaded of Exhibit P3000?

12             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, it has been uploaded as doc ID

13     0600-7963-ET.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Then that exhibit now is complete with this

15     translation.  Has a complete English translation been uploaded of

16     Exhibit P1812?

17             MS. MARCUS:  Yes.  It has been uploaded with doc ID

18     Y001-2185-EDT.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Same question for P878?

20             MS. MARCUS:  It has doc ID 0104-7916-ET.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Ms. Marcus.

22             Then the next question is whether the Prosecution is of the view

23     that Exhibits D390 up to and including D392 and D395 can be public

24     exhibits, yes or no.

25             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honours, we suggest that they remain under


Page 15075

 1     seal.  We did not tender the documents so we did not notify Serbia that

 2     they may be used, therefore the Serbian authorities have not had an

 3     opportunity to seek protective measures.  So we suggest until the

 4     Stanisic Defence can notify Serbia and Serbia has this opportunity, that

 5     the documents remain under seal.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash.

 7             MR. JORDASH:  We'll do that.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  When will we hear from you?

 9             MR. JORDASH:  Well, we'll do that straightaway and we are in

10     Serbia's hands in relation to their response.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  If you need the assistance of the Chamber,

12     please don't hesitate to ask it.

13             MR. JORDASH:  Thank you.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  The next question of my list on this Scheduling

15     Order is that the Prosecution is invited to advise the Chamber whether

16     its comments about the status of parts of Witness Bosnic's testimony are

17     to be understood as a request to lift the confidentiality of these parts,

18     Ms. Marcus?

19             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, we so request.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Is there any objection against granting the request,

21     confidentiality to be lifted of part of the testimony?

22             MR. JORDASH:  No, Your Honour.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Petrovic.

24             MR. PETROVIC:  [Interpretation] No, Your Honour.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  Then the Chamber will decide most likely this


Page 15076

 1     morning about the status of those parts of the testimony.

 2             Ms. Marcus, the next number invites you to advise the Chamber

 3     whether the Prosecution intends to recall witnesses Novakovic, Corbic or

 4     Lekovic.

 5             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, with respect to these witnesses, we

 6     still have several outstanding RFAs to Serbia and to a number of

 7     different agencies.  We would appreciate the opportunity to wait until we

 8     receive and process those responses to make a final decision as to the

 9     recall of these witness.  We are doing our utmost to expedite that

10     process to the extent it's within our ability do so and we'll keep the

11     Chamber informed.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, which also means that witnesses Novakovic and

13     Corbic are still under a -- they are still barred from communicating with

14     whomever about their testimony, that remains in place.

15             Yes, number 17 as far as the Prosecution is concerned in the

16     scheduling, we'll come back to that later.  It was about the bar table

17     motion.  We'll revisit that matter soon.

18             Then I move to the Stanisic Defence, the questions outstanding.

19     Mr. Jordash, D451 needs to remain under seal or not?

20             MR. JORDASH:  No, it doesn't.  Thank you.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Then unless there's any objection, and apparently

22     there's not, D451 is now a public document.

23             Mr. Jordash, has a revised English translation been uploaded of

24     Exhibit D205?

25             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, it has.  Yes, it has.


Page 15077

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 2             Madam Registrar, again unless there are any problems, revised or

 3     newly uploaded translations or documents at the specific request of the

 4     Chamber of course can replace then the original -- originally uploaded

 5     documents.  If there's any question at any point in time, I would like to

 6     hear from you.

 7             Next one, Mr. Jordash, has a revised English translation been

 8     uploaded of D305?

 9             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, it has, at 65 ter 1D02395.1.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  For the previous one, you didn't give an

11     ID number and since that has been done consequently by the Prosecution,

12     that was about D205, perhaps --

13             MR. JORDASH:  It's been uploaded under doc ID -- sorry under doc

14     ID 0608-4196.  By the Prosecution.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Was that D205?

16             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, it was.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Okay.  Then that doc ID is now on the record

18     as well.  I move on, has a complete English translation been uploaded of

19     document D380?

20             MR. JORDASH:  No, we are still waiting a full translation.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Could the Stanisic Defence update the other

22     parties and the Chamber on its investigations about the provenance of

23     document D56, a document which was earlier not admitted but was

24     re-tendered by the Simatovic Defence.

25             MR. JORDASH:  We obtained it from Mr. Stanisic.  We've approached


Page 15078

 1     the National Council but we haven't received any responses yet as to

 2     whether they've -- have the document in their possession.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Can anything more be said about from whom

 4     Mr. Stanisic received it?

 5             MR. JORDASH:  No, not at the moment.  I can and should have asked

 6     Mr. Stanisic further about that, and didn't.  I can ask him about it and

 7     inform the Chamber at the next court hearing.  I beg your pardon, sorry,

 8     there is more information.  It was from one of Mr. Stanisic's assistants

 9     which is a Risto Vejovic [phoen] who is dead.  He died, I think, over the

10     last few years.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Is there -- but we have no further information

12     on where Mr. Vejovic got it, or you say it's one of his assistants.  Any

13     particular time-frame for assisting Mr. Stanisic or specific position?

14     Was he -- I mean, this is a name, it may well be that in the evidence

15     more is known about him, but I don't have that on the top of my head.

16             MR. JORDASH:  No, neither do I, but I do know he provided

17     statements to the Prosecution and so further information can be obtained

18     readily and I'll do that.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Could then perhaps the Stanisic Defence and the

20     Prosecution sit together and see what information they have about the

21     source of these documents, it may well be he said something about it in

22     the statement he has given, so that we get the best information available

23     at this moment.

24             MR. JORDASH:  Yes.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  I leave it to you whether it will be tea or coffee,


Page 15079

 1     Ms. Marcus, Mr. Jordash.

 2             The next item is about Exhibit P179 and Exhibit P473.  I think

 3     the Prosecution has expressed that there is agreement about signatures of

 4     page 2 of the B/C/S version of Exhibit P179 and page 1 of the B/C/S

 5     version of Exhibit P473.  I would just like to know whether the Stanisic

 6     confirms this agreement?

 7             MR. JORDASH:  We do.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  You do.  That's hereby on the record.  Now, I, as I

 9     said before, I come back to the bar table submission.  You were invited,

10     Mr. Jordash, to file not later than six days before the housekeeping

11     session an update on the -- your first bar table submission, which was

12     filed on the 3rd of February, 2011, and more specifically, whether you

13     still intended to bar table this document as opposed to tendering them

14     through witnesses.

15             Now, we have been informed that there was an informal

16     communication that the Stanisic Defence would file a broader bar table

17     motion which would include documents from this initial bar table motion.

18     The question then immediately arises when do you intend to do so?

19             MR. JORDASH:  May I just take a moment, please, and just consult

20     with my colleague.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

22             MR. JORDASH:  We'll be in a position to file the bar table motion

23     at some point next week.  The problem, however, will still remain that

24     some of these documents have redactions.  We are hoping to visit the

25     relevant archives in the next two weeks, so it may be that while we are


Page 15080

 1     in a position to file the bar table next week, it may not be the most

 2     efficient use of resources to do that before we've been to Belgrade and

 3     seen the relevant documents without redactions.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I tend to agree with you that it doesn't make

 5     much sense to hasten now to file a motion which has to be amended within

 6     ten days from it being filed.  Now at the same time of course bar table

 7     motions should be filed preferably before the judgement has been

 8     delivered, isn't it?  Don't forgive -- forgive me my bad sense of humour

 9     in the early morning hours of this day, but what about - today, we are at

10     the 24th of November - if the Stanisic Defence, I'm looking specifically

11     at you, Ms. Marcus, would have filed its bar table motion by mid-December

12     but then the final one, after having checked the non-redacted originals

13     in Belgrade, would that be a good idea?

14             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, generally speaking we are just a little

15     bit concerned about the lack of closure of the Stanisic Defence case and

16     the timing of that, so I just wanted to put that concern on the record.

17     But it seems to me that since we are going to have at least two of their

18     witnesses in December, anyway, that there wouldn't be any problem, I

19     think, with that motion being filed at the time Your Honour specified.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash, perhaps I take it that you worked on

21     the preparation of such a motion anyhow, so where you have to verify the

22     originals, the unredacted originals, perhaps you could already provide a

23     list of the documents you intend to bar table to Ms. Marcus so that she

24     can start working on it, knowing that there is uncertainty about some

25     documents where you still have to inspect the original non-redacted


Page 15081

 1     versions.  Is that a solution that you, for example, provide that by the

 2     end of next week to Ms. Marcus so that the Prosecution can proceed in its

 3     preparations?

 4             MR. JORDASH:  Yes.  Just for Your Honours' information, we intend

 5     to file, I think, at least two bar table motions.  The first one will

 6     relate specifically to state security reports and the like where

 7     obviously the issue of redactions is most relevant.  So we can provide a

 8     list of those documents, I think, probably by the end of the week to the

 9     Prosecution.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And then the other one, do I have to

11     understand that the other bar table motion that -- because we are not now

12     talking about one broader one but about two bar table motions, is there

13     any redaction issue involved there?

14             MR. JORDASH:  No, the second and maybe even the third will relate

15     to such things as supplies to Bosnia and supplies to Croatia.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  So when I earlier asked when do you intend to

17     file the broader bar table motion, I now have to be more specific.  The

18     first one is clear, we agreed that it is -- that the redactions play a

19     role there and that you provide Ms. Marcus with a list and the motion

20     will be filed by mid-December so as to avoid that we have to do it twice.

21     Now for -- I call them now bar table motion 2, when do you intend to file

22     that?

23             MR. JORDASH:  If we could have until the same time and if there's

24     a problem, we'll file for an extension.  What we are trying to do is cut

25     down a number of exhibits which is taking some time, so we are doing our


Page 15082

 1     best with the resources we have, but we would hope to file that by the

 2     middle of December.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  And that bar table motion 2 would contain what kind

 4     of material?

 5             MR. JORDASH:  Bar table 2 will be almost exclusively concerning

 6     supplies to Bosnia.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  And then bar table motion number 3?

 8             MR. JORDASH:  Everything remaining, such as supplies to the

 9     Krajina and then perhaps more miscellaneous, if I can put it like that.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Leftovers.  And what is your suggestion for the

11     timing of bar table motion 3?

12             MR. JORDASH:  Well, we would hope again to do that by middle of

13     December and that may be unrealistic but we are as keen as the

14     Prosecution to get this done and close as much as we can, or finish as

15     much as we can of our case.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Marcus.

17             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  Trying to be as understanding as

18     we can, I think the delay to mid-December was due to the redactions.

19     Frankly, I'm not so sure why the delay to mid-December for the other two.

20     It would be our preference to have those two have an earlier dead-line

21     than that, Your Honour.

22             MR. JORDASH:  It's simply not possible.  With the resources we

23     have, it's simply absolutely impossible.  We have moved almost all our

24     resources to dealing with these bar table motions and we are also having

25     to deal with Milovanovic who is a big witness and the outstanding


Page 15083

 1     witnesses in our case, one of whom is also a rather large witness who

 2     testified in, I think, four or five trials before this Tribunal.  So with

 3     the best will in the world with the resources we have, it's simply not

 4     possible.

 5             I should -- sorry.  I should say that we have a team of two

 6     counsel, three legal assistants, and interns of I think at the moment

 7     five and everybody is working extremely hard.  I just cannot see how we

 8     could do it earlier.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I'll not revisit the earlier discussions about

10     financing of the Stanisic Defence team.

11             Let me -- Ms. Marcus, I do understand that you -- again, it was

12     perhaps bad humour but you really would like to have the bar table

13     motions before the judgement and for you, of course, it would be for

14     further preparation.  Now, what exactly would be lost for you if you

15     would receive those let's say, by the 1st of January rather than the

16     1st of December?  I mean, what would be the impact apart from, of course,

17     the overall impact that the later it comes the less time you have to

18     digest it and to comment on it, but how would it affect and impact on the

19     proceedings in December?

20             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, this is simply part of the overall

21     concern about the lengthy delay in the ending the case and the sort of

22     murky nature of their case still being open.  That leaves a lot of

23     uncertainty.  The later we have the documents, the less opportunity we

24     have to put it to the witnesses who are coming.  We still don't know

25     which witnesses are coming, but the -- the analysis of the documentation


Page 15084

 1     is something which -- which tells us more and more about their case.

 2     It's how they present their case and the later they present their case,

 3     the less opportunity that we have during the remainder of their case and

 4     the start of the Simatovic case to rebut those contentions.  So generally

 5     speaking, it has to do with when their case closes and how we can prepare

 6     to respond to the documents that we receive, but I leave it in

 7     Your Honours' hands.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash.

 9             MR. JORDASH:  None of that, respectfully, is an accurate

10     portrayal of the situation.  The Prosecution have the documents.  They

11     can use them and have been able to use them over the last few months

12     during our case.  They know what they are.  They know the witnesses who

13     are outstanding.  I don't see what is lost and nothing my learned friend

14     has just said indicates that anything is lost.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash, I think you, yourself, told us that you

16     are trying to reduce the number of documents to find the most relevant

17     ones, and, of course, all the time spent by the Prosecution on documents

18     you at the end find not relevant enough to bar table them is, well, may

19     be time which is wasted, lost, but we'll have a -- we'll consider the

20     matter and we'll -- we'll see whether we give further instructions to you

21     as to the timing of --

22             MR. JORDASH:  Thank you.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  -- the filing of the three, as I now understand, bar

24     table motions.

25             Then I move to the Simatovic Defence.  The first question as


Page 15085

 1     found on page 4 of the Scheduling Order is moot by now or at least on

 2     hold.  The second question was the date of the two proposed Simatovic

 3     Defence expert reports.  I think you have indicated when you would file

 4     them, but we see that one of the reports is more than 700 pages and I

 5     think the Chamber has some concern about the size of the materials.  I

 6     think there was also a matter of whether or not one of the witnesses were

 7     experts -- no, let's see, that's -- I leave that apart at this moment.

 8             We have a more than 700 pages report from one of your expert.

 9     Are there any related documents because we haven't seen the report, but

10     we have had a look at the table of contents.  Are there any problems with

11     related documents and translation of related documents, especially if we

12     end up in this size of reports that create sometimes additional problems?

13     Could you update us on that.

14             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honour, as a Defence team we

15     will do our best to avoid any problems.  However, working with this

16     report and the accompanying documents is not going to be easy at all.

17     This report, 700 pages long, is supported by several hundreds of

18     documents and some of those documents are being identified, are being

19     compared with the documents which are on our 65 ter list, which are

20     Prosecutor's documents, and those documents which are on none of the two

21     and the report still refers to them.  When we finish the process of

22     identifying the documents and deciding which document falls under what

23     category, the remainder of the document will be sent for translation.  We

24     expect that a significant number of documents is already on some of the

25     lists belonging to a party to the proceedings, but they will be documents


Page 15086

 1     that were found on the EDS and that belong to other sources.  The problem

 2     is huge, the workload is huge, but we are doing as fast as we can.  We

 3     know, we are aware of the concern of our learned friends from the

 4     Prosecution with this regard.  We'll try to deal with the questions that

 5     they put to us as soon as possible.  However, as the Trial Chamber has

 6     remarked, the report is voluminous and refers to a significant number of

 7     documents.  We are doing our best but we don't expect the job to be

 8     either easy or fast.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  This is the -- if you do not mind,

10     Mr. Petrovic, this is the kind of observations like the winter will be

11     cold and dark and snow may fall and we would then have to remove that

12     snow from the roads.  I mean, where is your work-plan?  That's first of

13     all.  Where are we with the translation of the report itself?  Have you

14     provided the whole of the report to CLSS and have you any idea on when

15     they would finish the translation of the report?

16             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honour, first an observation.

17     I wish to be very honest before Trial Chamber and I would like to present

18     the situation as it is, the situation may be somewhat darker but I can

19     explain why, if you believe this may be necessary.  As far as the

20     translation of the documents is concerned, the report has been sent for

21     translation at the beginning of August of this year.  If I'm not

22     mistaken, that was on the 4th of August to be very precise.  According to

23     the update we received a few days ago, the translation of the report will

24     be finished by the end of this year.  I'm talking about the report which

25     is 700 pages long.  Our second report, which is much more concise, will


Page 15087

 1     be translated by the end of the month of November.  At least, that was

 2     what we heard from the translation service.

 3             We sent both reports in B/C/S versions to our colleagues from the

 4     OTP hoping that that would facilitate their preparation for the testimony

 5     of this witness.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Have you explored with the OTP whether there are

 7     parts of the report where there's no dispute about?  I mean, 700 pages is

 8     not nothing.  That's -- having looked at the -- having looked at the

 9     table of contents, sometimes of the overall structure of armed forces or

10     whatever, I wonder whether there are no areas where the parties have no

11     dispute about.

12             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honour, I have still not put

13     that question to my colleagues because I'm not sure whether they have

14     succeeded to review everything in detail - I'm talking about the B/C/S

15     material - but I believe that there are entire areas in both reports that

16     may be uncontestable.  That is my impression of the Prosecution's

17     position.  I believe that there are entire parts of those reports that

18     the OTP will not contest at all but it's up to them to say.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Whether or not that's true, then you are choosing

20     the wrong order, Mr. Petrovic.  You shouldn't ask someone to write a

21     report about matters which are not in dispute.  If you say the overall

22     structure - for example, I'm just giving one example - would most likely

23     not be contested, then you sit together with the other party and say we

24     want to establish the overall structures, we have an expert who could do

25     so but if we agree on it then we just present that agreement to the


Page 15088

 1     Chamber.  We don't have to hire a expensive expert to write a report

 2     about that, then to have it being translated which takes, that's August,

 3     September, October, November, December, that's five months.  It's not

 4     that you start with a report and then later try to find out whether

 5     there's disagreement.  You first should try to find out where the

 6     disagreement is, where the dispute is, and then to find an expert who

 7     will focus on that disagreement, rather than the other way around.

 8     I'm -- especially if it all results in 30 or 40 pages, fine, then perhaps

 9     it's easier to have that report written without, but if it results in 700

10     pages of report where you still are telling us that you now have to

11     identify what underlying documents are still there to be translated,

12     perhaps taking -- all that effort should be made only in respect of

13     matters which are in dispute and not in relation to matters which are not

14     disputed.  That's the concern of the Chamber, Mr. Petrovic.

15             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honour, as regards the police

16     expert, there may be some parts, but those parts could simply not be

17     omitted from the text of the expert report because the expert report

18     follows a logical line, it is a whole and some parts had to be included

19     because we wanted to present a Trial Chamber with an expert report which

20     is grounded, which has a basis, which has its inner logic and that inner

21     logic is necessary for the work to appear to be integral.  That's why

22     some of the parts seem to be superfluous.  There's not too many of them,

23     but they had to be included to provide the report with a certain logic.

24             As far as the military expert report is concerned I feel that it

25     is necessary for me to say the following:  Work with an expert who is a


Page 15089

 1     military expert and who is a joint expert of both teams, we started

 2     working with this expert many years before this Defence team was put in

 3     place.  For a long time, it was believed that the person responsible for

 4     the expert report would be our colleagues from the Stanisic Defence team.

 5     At one point in time, and that point in time came, if I'm not mistaken,

 6     in May or June, decided to withdraw from our joint team effort so the

 7     expert report that had already been drafted and that the current Defence

 8     team could not influence at all, that expert report existed.  There was

 9     no time, no resources to draft a new expert report.  So we were actually

10     put in a situation where we have very little choice.  We needed the

11     expert report.  The expert report was drafted much before.  It should

12     have been our joint effort, our joint expert report, and as I said, one

13     point in time it became only our expert report, although we did not have

14     a decisive influence either on the structure of the report or the way it

15     had been drafted.  This creates additional problems.  If my colleague

16     Bakrac and I had been in charge from the very beginning I believe that

17     things may have been different, however, this is the course that the

18     events have taken so far.  We are doing our utmost to remedy the

19     situation but we are asking for your understanding with that.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash.

21             MR. JORDASH:  I'm reluctant to intervene but my recollection is

22     that that report was a joint effort from the beginning and we did

23     withdraw from the report but our input into it was never intended to be

24     the decisive one.  It was a joint effort and I'm sorry to contradict

25     Mr. Petrovic, but that report from the beginning, the funding of the


Page 15090

 1     report was joint, the direction to the expert was joint, and we decided

 2     not to pursue it.  That's the situation from our perspective.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Now, apparently there are different views on what

 4     caused the present situation, I think it's not for the Chamber to explore

 5     that in depth.  As a matter of fact, the Chamber is more interested at

 6     this moment in how the matter was resolved and whether you together,

 7     whether the Simatovic Defence alone -- my comments were of a totally

 8     different nature.  They were why have you not sat together with the

 9     Prosecution to find out what really is in dispute so that the expert

10     could focus on that?  And now to say that the report was there already

11     and, therefore, we couldn't change it anymore, we had no influence, I

12     would say it would have deserved an intensified effort to get out of the

13     report whatever is not in dispute, and if need be, replace it in a

14     summary form whatever the parties agree on so the logic is not lost.  I

15     mean, it's not cutting out a whole part of an expert report, but to say

16     well, on this and this matter, the parties do agree that this and this

17     and they reach that agreement on the basis of A, B, C, series of

18     documents which they will not now further explore but that is where the

19     parties stand.  That aspect, and that was the main comment I gave,

20     Mr. Petrovic, that aspect has not been addressed satisfactorily as far as

21     I'm concerned, but I'll further discuss it with my colleagues.  And the

22     Chamber would like to be informed very quickly about the underlying

23     documents.  I mean, if that takes translation effort until May 2013, then

24     we might have a problem.  Therefore, I'm more interested in your

25     work-plan than an explanation on why things are as they are apparently at


Page 15091

 1     this moment.

 2             Ms. Marcus, you are on your feet.

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Thank you, Your Honour.  Just to add to what has

 4     been said.  We sent an e-mail, as I think my colleague Mr. Petrovic was

 5     referring to, on the 17th of November, which Your Honours have seen of

 6     course and which relates directly to what we are discussing here.  We

 7     are, unfortunately and regrettably, not able to process the reports in

 8     B/C/S, and we wouldn't even if they were in English, we wouldn't be able

 9     to process them without the underlying documents, as well as a

10     cross-referencing of the underlying documents, whether they are on the

11     65 ter list or not, et cetera, so that we can read the report which is

12     based on underlying documents.  So we would appreciate a specific idea of

13     when we might be provided with the underlying documents in addition to

14     the -- we have the approximate dead-lines of when we'll receive the

15     English translations, we'd also like to know exactly when we can expect

16     the underlying documents.  Thank you.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Mr. Petrovic, I mainly addressed what is in

18     dispute and what is not in dispute.  Of course, another matter is

19     relevance.  Now, perhaps it would be worthwhile to go through the report

20     again and also to find out what really is needed or not.  Of course, if

21     we have a paragraph on -- paragraph on the Socialist Federal Republic of

22     Yugoslavia armed forces and get an explanation of what the definition,

23     the purpose, and the tasks of a land army are or of the navy, I take it

24     that the navy will focus on what happens on the waters rather than on

25     land, but of course, I've got no idea what to expect there, but it may be


Page 15092

 1     very important also to find out what we really need for this case, what

 2     the relevance is.  Some portions of the document are very long.  But,

 3     again, not having seen the report, not having seen the appendages, the

 4     appendages alone are well over 100 pages.  I don't know what they are

 5     apart from that it's appendages to part 1, part 2, part 3 or part 4.  But

 6     I really need a story different from the winter will be dark and long and

 7     there may fall snow.  That's not the basis on which we can proceed.  So,

 8     therefore, I would suggest that you present a work-plan including meeting

 9     with the Prosecution, seeing how -- you understand what I mean?  It's

10     the -- we want this part of your Defence case not to end up in a

11     disastrous situation.

12             I'll further discuss with my colleagues what we exactly

13     understand by a work-plan because I'm using these words rather loosely at

14     this moment and we might set a dead-line for that so that we are informed

15     soon and that we do not -- it's like financial crisis or Euro crisis,

16     Mr. Petrovic, the longer you wait, the more problematic the situation may

17     become.  We'll discuss it and you'll hear further instructions from the

18     Chamber.

19             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Thank you, Your Honour.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Any further comment on this part of the agenda?  If

21     not --

22             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

24             MS. MARCUS:  Sorry, just one more point very briefly on the bar

25     table motion by the Stanisic Defence.  If the Chamber is inclined to


Page 15093

 1     grant the mid-December dead-line for the filings, we would also

 2     appreciate having a list for all three bar table motions this week or

 3     next week.  That would definitely facilitate things from our end.  Thank

 4     you.

 5             MR. JORDASH:  That's the problem, we are identifying which

 6     documents we want to put into the bar table.  That's what's taking the

 7     time.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  What the ones you intend not to have in the bar

 9     table motions or do you still have to identify which ones you would like

10     to include?  Of course, if you have a long list and you say we would like

11     to reduce it.  We have 300 and we are still considering how we can bring

12     it down to 210 or, then you could already give the 300 and then

13     Ms. Marcus would know that there's a risk that 90 out of them might

14     finally not appear on the bar table motion.  But if you say we have now a

15     list of 200 and it may well become 350 and we do not know yet the

16     remaining 150, then, of course, Ms. Marcus cannot possibly, with or

17     without risks, proceed preparing.

18             MR. JORDASH:  Can I just have a moment, please.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

20                           [Defence counsel confer]

21             MR. JORDASH:  We can certainly give a definitive list for the

22     Bosnian bar table by, I think, the end of next week.  I don't think we

23     will be able to move to the third one until --

24             JUDGE ORIE:  In addition to the security list?  There was -- I

25     would say bar table 1 was the one where especially the redactions play a


Page 15094

 1     major role.  There, I think you said that you could already provide a

 2     list.

 3             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, by tomorrow and then --

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, but this week.  Now, you are offering to

 5     Ms. Marcus a complete list of documents that will be covered by the

 6     second bar table motion by the end of next week.

 7             MR. JORDASH:  Yes.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  And would you then please think about when at least

 9     a list to be provided to Ms. Marcus on the third one.

10             MR. JORDASH:  Certainly.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Marcus, it's perhaps not yet everything you

12     would wish, but it's at least something.

13             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, thank you, Your Honour.  I also have a few

14     corrigenda to make regarding what we've discussed already this morning.

15     I don't know if Your Honour wants me to do that now or later.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, perhaps, if you do it now.  I must -- the

17     Prosecution has sent emails, I think, commenting on matters to be raised

18     during this housekeeping session.  I was not able to read them, so it's

19     good that you have prepared it, but just be aware that I have not been in

20     a position to read them.  It was, I think it was sent yesterday and I

21     couldn't spend time on it yesterday.

22             MS. MARCUS:  I understand, Your Honour.  Thank you, this is just

23     because of the transcript, a couple of the corrections are for the

24     transcript to make sure that it's correct.  Today at transcript page 3,

25     where it says it refers to Exhibit P243 -- sorry it refers to P-- sorry


Page 15095

 1     one moment.  The transcript refers to Exhibit P2493 and it should be

 2     P243.  That may well have been my error, I apologise.  At transcript page

 3     4, I made a mistake, it seems, with respect to Exhibit P1050, P1050, the

 4     translation is still being worked on.  The revised version will be

 5     available later today.  So I gave a doc ID for that which is not correct

 6     because it is not ready yet.  And I do apologise.  The doc ID I gave was

 7     0608-0177-ET but I reiterate that that is not correct and the revised

 8     version will be provided later today.

 9             On transcript page 6, I left off a dash at the end of the doc ID

10     number for P853.  The document has been uploaded, that's P853, the

11     document has been uploaded as 0109-8852-.  Apparently the dash is

12     important.  Finally on transcript page 6, Exhibit P2484 has a translation

13     apparently I gave the wrong doc ID for that.  The correct doc ID is

14     0608-0177-ET.  So in other words, I had given that doc ID for the wrong

15     document.  So that's the doc ID for P2484.  My apologies.

16                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Although there still are a few questions, I'll come

18     to that after the break, Ms. Marcus.

19             I now move to matters which are -- which were not on the

20     Scheduling Order, but also are not on the MFI list.

21                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

22             JUDGE ORIE:  There are a few documents where a decision still has

23     to be taken whether they can be made public and I address the parties to

24     see what comments they have.  P2448.  Any problem in making it public?  I

25     do not hear any objections.  P3046?  P3047?


Page 15096

 1             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, I'm so sorry, I simply can't check it

 2     this quickly to be a hundred per cent sure.  Is it -- I'm very happy to

 3     prepare that and get back to you in ten minutes.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, then at least you have the numbers now.  Then

 5     I'll complete the series of numbers.  Next one is D143 and the last one

 6     is D232.  The Chamber would very much like to hear from the parties

 7     whether there's any objection against makes these documents public

 8     documents.

 9             The next item is the following, that in relation to a pending

10     request for protective measures from Serbia, D150 should be placed

11     provisionally under seal.  It is a MUP SDB report on security issues in

12     relation to paramilitary formations including Arkan.

13             Madam Registrar, it should be provisionally now under seal.

14             I add to this that the Chamber informally has asked the Registry

15     to put Exhibit D372 provisionally under seal to protect the witness's

16     identity.  We are talking about Witness DST-044.  The Chamber has further

17     looked at P2151, and more in particular a description of a photograph, a

18     photograph found on page 9 of that document, whether it would reveal the

19     identity of the witness, Witness JF-024.  We have considered this and

20     decided that the exhibit should be under seal.

21             Similarly, P441, a witness statement should be under seal.  It

22     gives the comments of the witnesses about names on per diem lists and

23     these per diem lists are confidential documents.  More specifically,

24     because of the decision of the Chamber of the 3rd of November, 2009,

25     granting protection to active BIA members.  Therefore, P441 is now under


Page 15097

 1     seal.

 2             The Chamber has decided on admission of Exhibits D383 up to and

 3     including D385 on the 22nd and the 23rd of August, and those decisions

 4     were a little ambiguous, especially in view of the fact that there were

 5     replacement -- there was a replacement of the documents.  Therefore, the

 6     Chamber would like to clarify that 1D5019 was admitted as D383, that

 7     1D5020.1 was admitted as D384, and that 1D5021.1 was admitted as D385.

 8     The latter two, that is D384 and D385 under seal.

 9             And, Madam Registrar, you are instructed to make any changes to

10     the extent necessary in this respect in e-court.  Is that sufficiently

11     clear?

12             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Then we'll now take a break first.  Also

14     in order to avoid that we all start suffering from a bookkeeper's

15     syndrome, we'll resume at five minutes to 11.00.

16                           --- Recess taken at 10.31 a.m.

17                           --- On resuming at 10.59 a.m.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  I first want to further address the status of parts

19     of Witness Bosnic's testimony.  The Prosecution has requested to lift the

20     confidentiality.  The Chamber hereby decides that transcript pages 12818,

21     line 2, up to transcript 12824, line 7 are now public.

22             I hope that we'll finish this morning, if not, I will suggest to

23     the parties and explore the possibilities of continuing briefly this

24     afternoon so as to have a clean desk, but I do not know whether there are

25     any problems as far as the parties are concerned, neither have I yet


Page 15098

 1     explored with the Registry whether there will be a courtroom available

 2     and whether we will have teams to support us.

 3             MS. MARCUS:  No problem from the Prosecution.

 4             MR. JORDASH:  The same here.

 5             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] The same.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  I would then not start at quarter past 2.00 but

 7     rather let's say 3.00 or 3.15.  Madam Registrar, would you please try to

 8     find out whether all the technical requirements are met if need be.

 9                           [Trial Chamber confers]

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash, dead-lines for your bar table motions.

11     Numbers 1 and 2, 15th of December.  Number 3 at the end of the winter

12     recess.  Which would mean, I think it's the 9th of January or something

13     like that.

14             MR. JORDASH:  Thank you very much.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then, Mr. Petrovic, the Chamber will further

16     consider what we exactly understand to be a work-plan for you in relation

17     to the expert report and what we would expect you to -- and when you

18     would be expected to submit to the Chamber how you intend to proceed, and

19     again, very much on the practical level, the Chamber wants to avoid that

20     we end up in major trouble as far as timing is concerned.  We'll give you

21     further instructions for that.

22             Then I move on to the list of exhibits of which the status is to

23     be considered.  P2448.

24             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, from our view there is no problem with

25     any of the three Prosecution exhibits being made public.  Thank you for


Page 15099

 1     the extra time.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Is there any remaining concern with the

 3     Defence on P2448, P3046, and P3047?

 4             MR. JORDASH:  No, thank you.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Then these three exhibits are on from now public

 6     exhibits.  Then D143?

 7             MR. JORDASH:  Sorry, Your Honour, public is fine.  Thank you.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  No concerns --

 9             MS. MARCUS:  No objections.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  -- from the other parties.  D143 is a public exhibit

11     from now.  D232.

12             MR. JORDASH:  Same, Your Honour.

13             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Same, Your Honour.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  And Ms. Marcus remains silent on the matter but

15     agrees.  D232 is a public exhibit from now on.  I'd like to move on.

16             I'm at this moment more or less addressing the public that -- and

17     inform them that on the 7th of October, 2011, and the 11th of November,

18     the Chamber has issued two confidential decisions granting in part

19     applications from the Republic of Serbia for protective measures

20     specifying the kind of material that is to be protected for national

21     security interests for documents provided to the Prosecution and for the

22     testimony of two Prosecution witnesses.  Now, connected to this the --

23     pursuant to the 7th of October decision, the Prosecution filed on the

24     11th of November, 2011, a list of names of persons mentioned in those

25     documents whose identities the Chamber has decided to protect.


Page 15100

 1             As the Chamber has noted in its decision, it is not readily

 2     apparent from the parties' submissions which of the Prosecution documents

 3     subject to this decision are in evidence before the Chamber.  The

 4     Chamber, therefore, requests the Prosecution to file by the

 5     15th of December, 2011, a list of the exhibits which are subject to the

 6     Chamber's decision of the 7th of October, 2011.  Should documents subject

 7     to the decision be admitted at a later stage, the Prosecution is

 8     instructed to file a supplement to the list as soon as possible.  I just

 9     wanted to verify whether this is clear for the Prosecution?

10             MS. MARCUS:  Clear, Your Honour.  Thank you.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

12             Then -- then I would like to put on the record that the

13     Prosecution's oral motion to compel disclosure of interview notes for

14     Witness Novakovic, a motion of the 5th of October, 2011, was denied on

15     the same day, and that the parties were informed through an informal

16     communication.  As for the reasons for this decision, I refer the parties

17     to the Chamber's general reasons on this issue contained in the Chamber's

18     12th of October, 2011 decision on Prosecution urgent motion related to

19     non-compliance of Stanisic Defence with Rule 65 ter G and Rule 67 of the

20     rules.

21             The next matter I would like to raise is the statement that was

22     admitted in relation to Witness Dragicevic.  The statement was admitted

23     but the chart with comments and underlying documents were MFI'd.  Now,

24     there also were 45 associated documents where no numbers have yet been

25     assigned, and there may be some overlap in the -- in those associated


Page 15101

 1     documents and the chart documents.  I, therefore, instruct the Stanisic

 2     Defence to communicate with the Registry and the Registry to file after

 3     that an internal memorandum with numbers assigned to any outstanding

 4     documents.  Is that clear both to the Stanisic Defence and the Registry?

 5             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Then I'd like to hear further Defence submissions on

 7     the bar tabling of two suspect interview excerpts, excerpts that were

 8     tendered by the Prosecution after the testimony of Witness Helgers and

 9     would like to.

10             MR. JORDASH:  Your Honour, I was wondering if we might adjourn

11     this argument so that Mr. Stanisic could be present.  I know that he

12     would be interested to hear the argument and we didn't understand that --

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, I can understand that.  Then we'll put this one

14     on hold.

15             MR. JORDASH:  Thank you.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Perhaps it would be best also for the Simatovic

17     Defence to --

18             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Yes, Your Honour.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we move on --

20             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

22             MS. MARCUS:  Sorry, on that issue, just to inform the Chamber and

23     put it on the record, we sent an elaboration of our submission, also a

24     reply to what had been said in court.  We sent that via e-mail, it's a

25     lengthy one, we didn't file it yet, but this was an effort for us to


Page 15102

 1     begin this conversation with the Defence teams with a view towards

 2     possibly agreeing, which I understood was the request of the Chamber that

 3     we try to find a way to agree, maybe they would propose additional

 4     portions.  So we set out our position in greater detail in that, if the

 5     Chamber so requests we can file that or put it on the record some other

 6     way.  But I just wanted to put on the record that we had given them

 7     additional information about our position on those excerpts of the

 8     suspect interviews.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I take it those submissions are substantial in

10     the discussion, not merely practical, which doesn't even need to be put

11     on the record, not to be referred to in more general terms on the record

12     which we often do.  Let me just consult.

13                           [Trial Chamber confers]

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash.

15             MR. JORDASH:  The only problem we have with the Prosecution's

16     suggestion is that those submissions contain submissions which go beyond

17     the admissibility argument and goes to arguments about whether

18     Mr. Stanisic should be accorded any mitigation for his actions in

19     releasing the hostages and we would object to those submissions forming

20     part of the trial record at this stage.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Marcus.

22             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  Perhaps this issue -- I'm

23     perfectly glad to sit down with Mr. Jordash and have a discussion about

24     it, how to proceed.  The issue seems to get a little bigger as time goes

25     on.  If Your Honours request we can do written submissions.  It is quite


Page 15103

 1     extensive and it does contain both our position as to the mitigation

 2     aspect as well as the mens rea aspect of their Defence.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Now, of course, the first matter to be decided

 4     is whether they should be admitted, yes or no.  Therefore, I invite you

 5     to sit together with Mr. Jordash and see whether you can make a

 6     distinction between the question which is before the Chamber at this very

 7     moment, that is admission.  Now, I do understand that admission also is

 8     related to relevance.  Of course, relevance may touch upon what the

 9     relevance is.  Is it for mitigation, is it for sentencing, is it for ...

10     So, therefore, it might not be always easy to make a clear distinction

11     between admission and matters apparently raised by the Prosecution.  I

12     have not read it until now, which perhaps is a good thing, I'll check

13     with my colleagues whether they have read it -- yes, Mr. Jordash.

14             MR. JORDASH:  On reflection, I withdraw the objection to those

15     submissions being filed.  We'll file a written response, though, if

16     that's --

17             JUDGE ORIE:  That's fine because the Chamber decided that they

18     should be filed, so whatever you have sent in your e-mail, you know, if

19     it's of really substance, then it should be filed.

20             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we'll receive a response by the Defence and if

22     Mr. Petrovic want to respond as well, that's also, but a time-limit for

23     that.  Any suggestion, Mr. Jordash?  Preferably this year.

24             MR. JORDASH:  Not much left.  End of next week.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  End of next week.


Page 15104

 1             Mr. Petrovic.

 2             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, then if we are going

 3     to respond too, we'll do so in writing.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I only set a dead-line now for the Stanisic

 5     Defence to file any submissions in response to the Prosecution e-mail

 6     submissions still to be filed by Friday the 2nd of December.

 7             Then I move on.  On the 15th of November, the Stanisic Defence

 8     has requested a Chamber order for a retranslation of a part of Exhibit

 9     P1628, and specifically the words [B/C/S spoken], my pronunciation may be

10     very wrong.  First, Mr. Jordash, the Chamber informs you that document

11     P1628 was vacated in the Chamber's 10th of March, 2011 decision, a

12     decision on the Prosecution's motion for admission of excerpts from the

13     Mladic notebooks.  And I refer you to footnote 26 of that decision.

14     Nevertheless, the disputed excerpt was admitted in that same decision and

15     is in evidence as P2545.

16             Now, the Chamber understands from the request that the Stanisic

17     Defence has already asked CLSS for a revision of the translation, but

18     that it now continues to dispute the translation.  The Chamber hereby

19     invites the Registry to make a Rule 33(B) submission on the Stanisic

20     Defence request, a submission by the 5th of December, 2011.  And requests

21     that the Registry, in that submission, provide the Chamber with any

22     additional information it may have regarding the disputed translation of

23     the exhibit.

24             Mr. Jordash, so, therefore, we'll give it a follow-up, but now

25     not just we stick to the translation but whatever additional information


Page 15105

 1     can provide on why they did not change it and perhaps what they have

 2     considered, so a full explanation of the decision CLSS has taken and of

 3     course we'll then also find out whether it still takes that position yes

 4     or no.

 5             MR. JORDASH:  Thank you.

 6             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, excuse me.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, Ms. Marcus.

 8             MS. MARCUS:  We were going to file a brief response to that

 9     motion.  I don't know if the dead-line would be the 29th, we can

10     certainly expedite that.  I wonder whether maybe that could be filed

11     before the Registry's submission follows or as Your Honours --

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, if the Registry would wait until after you have

13     filed a response, that might save a further round of exchange of views.

14             MS. MARCUS:  Thank you, Your Honour.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Therefore, Madam Registrar, the Registry is urged

16     not to file the 33(B) submission before the Prosecution has filed its

17     response so the motion.

18                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Perhaps be a bit clearer on the submission by the

20     Registry.  CLSS -- the Registry is invited to inform the Chamber whether

21     it maintains its position, I think that's already what I hinted at, and

22     if so, for what reasons, also addressing the Stanisic Defence's arguments

23     for a different translation.

24             Yes.  I'm addressing now the Simatovic Defence and the Chamber

25     would like to have a list filed assigning provisional pseudonyms to each


Page 15106

 1     of your witnesses on your list, and that list should be filed before the

 2     first witness appears.

 3             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] That will be done, Your Honour.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Mr. Petrovic.

 5             The Stanisic Defence has indicated in an informal communication

 6     that it would like to call two of its witnesses out of turn, that is

 7     during or after the Simatovic Defence case.  On the 4th of November, the

 8     Chamber has encouraged the Stanisic Defence to make such applications

 9     without delay.  However, such applications have not been received to

10     date, and just to clarify, the Chamber mainly encouraged you to make such

11     applications formally so as to give the other parties as opportunity to

12     review whether the calling of these witnesses out of turn would cause

13     them any prejudice.

14   (redacted)

15   (redacted)

16                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

17             JUDGE ORIE:  I introduced the matter on historical grounds, how

18     it was, because DST-060 I do understand is part of an agreement now.

19     I'll put that on the record in a second.  Now, there are a few questions

20     in relation to this scheduling of witnesses.  First of all, the Chamber

21     does understand that there's an agreement that Witness DST-060 will be

22     called first next week and, therefore, will delay the start of the

23     presentation of evidence by the Simatovic Defence.  Is that correctly

24     understood?

25             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, it is.


Page 15107

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

 2             MR. JORDASH:  What is slightly uncertain at the moment is how

 3     long he will take.  My estimation -- we haven't had a estimation from the

 4     parties, but it may well be that that witness can finish in two days.  I

 5     don't intend to be more than an hour with him.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, then one day remains next week, Wednesday.  Is

 7     the Simatovic Defence ready to then call its first witness who could

 8     possibly start then on that Wednesday?

 9             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, in informal

10     communication, I'd addressed the Chamber, you have certainly seen what

11     our position on this issue are.  At this moment if my reckoning is

12     correct, we have six Stanisic Defence witnesses who will testify and have

13     not done so yet.  Out of the six, we have considered, in the case of two

14     or three of them, things carefully and we want to be as co-operative as

15     we can, but we agree that these two or three can testify during our case,

16     or perhaps after our case, although this may be a bit of a problem for

17     us.  But those two or three witnesses, DST-060, DST-071, and

18     Witness Milovanovic who are to testify yet, it is very hard, almost

19     impossible for us to begin our case unless these people have testified

20     before as Stanisic Defence witnesses because their testimony is related

21     to what the other two or three witnesses may say.  The structure of our

22     case itself depends on what we expect these witnesses may say before the

23     Trial Chamber here.  That is why we kindly request that these two

24     witnesses complete their testimony and then literally within two or three

25     days we will provide our witness list without any further delay.  But the


Page 15108

 1     testimony of our witnesses before at least this part of the Defence case

 2     of Mr. Stanisic is finished would be a huge problem for us, and we can

 3     provide further explanation in writing, if necessary.  Our understanding

 4     is that DST-060 can come on Monday.  There are indications that

 5     Witness Milovanovic may be able to testify the following week, and if

 6     that is so, as soon as that is done, we can bring our first witness on

 7     any day of the week.  We just kindly ask for some fundamental order that

 8     the orders of the Trial Chamber and the rules be observed.

 9             Thank you, Your Honour.

 9             Then, Mr. Jordash, do we well understand that Witness DST-081 has

10     been dropped by the Stanisic Defence?

11             MR. JORDASH:  No, but we are very close to doing so.  We are

12     trying to conduct some last-minute attempts to obtain some formalities

13     and I think we'll know the answer to that by Monday and be able to make a

14     decision, I think, early next week.  I think it's -- I'll be frank, it's

15     likely.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Okay the Chamber would like to be informed at

17     shortest possible notice.

18             Then, Mr. Petrovic, we have dealt with Witness DST-060, an

19     agreement is there.  We have dealt with Mr. Milovanovic.  Now, about the

20     two remaining witnesses out of turn, DST-061 and Mr. Brown -- no,

21     Mr. Brown and DST-071.  DST-071, we know your position.  We have

22     discussed that.  DST-061 is, let me just see, one second.

23                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, DST-061, Mr. Brown, these two, what is your

25     position in relation to them specifically to be called out of turn?


Page 15114

 1             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, although we believe

 2     that this is a departure from the usual order of things, we kindly ask

 3     the Chamber to accommodate us only in what is important to us.  DST-060

 4     and Mr. Milovanovic.  For the other two witnesses, we agree that they be

 5     heard at any time during our case or after our case, that means DST-061

 6     and expert Brown.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 8                           [Trial Chamber and Registrar confer]

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  So your position in every respect is clear,

10     Mr. Petrovic.  Of course, it depends on developments in the coming days

11     when the Chamber expects you to present your first witness.

12             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] I understand, Your Honour.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  And since there is a risk that we would not have --

14     that we would have neither Mr. Milovanovic or Witness DST-071, you

15     should, as I always requested also from the Stanisic Defence, you should

16     develop a plan B.

17             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] We will do our best, Your Honour.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Marcus.

19             MS. MARCUS:  Thank you, Your Honour.  Just with respect to the

20     Simatovic Defence witnesses, we would like to -- we've sent an e-mail to

21     them, I don't think we've received a response about the documents for

22     their witnesses.  We have not received the documents yet for the first

23     witness that they intend to tender through that witness, so we would like

24     to make sure that we receive those well in advance of the witness coming.

25     If there's a chance that the first witness starts next Wednesday, we

 


Page 15115

 1     would like to receive the documents, if possible, today.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Petrovic, in case of plan B, plan B documents?

 3             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, we will do that

 4     today.  We will provide the documents by close of business today.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Then we move into private session.  One

 6     second.

 6             THE REGISTRAR:  We are in open session, Your Honours.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

 8             Just to follow-up on the last part of the discussion before we

 9     went into private session, I see at this moment that -- but I have not

10     yet looked at the Prosecution, that there seem to be no objections

11     against Mr. Brown and Witness DST-061 to be called after the beginning of

12     the Simatovic case.  Any problems as far as the Prosecution is concerned?

13             MS. MARCUS:  We don't object, Your Honour, as long as they can

14     come as soon as possible.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, then just to have it clear on the record that

16     the Chamber accepts that at least -- I'm not pronouncing the Chamber's

17     views on the others, but at least Mr. Brown and Witness DST-061 are

18     called out of turn.

19             Then I have to deliver the reasons for a decision before we go to

20     the MFI list.  Let me just see.

21                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

22             JUDGE ORIE:  The Chamber delivers its decision on the Stanisic

23     Defence motion on the admission of transcripts and associated exhibits

24     pursuant to Rule 92 bis.

25             It was on the 27th of September of this year that the

 


Page 15117

 1     Stanisic Defence filed a motion to admit the transcripts of evidence and

 2     associated exhibits in lieu of viva voce testimony of four witnesses:

 3     DST-057, DST-068, DST-071, and DST-080, pursuant to Rule 92 bis.  The

 4     Prosecution responded to the request in relation to the witnesses 57, 68

 5     and 80 on the 11th of October, 2011, and in relation to Witness DST-071

 6     separately on the 20th of October, 2011.  This followed a corrigendum

 7     filing by the Stanisic Defence and a decision of the Chamber to grant the

 8     Prosecution until the 20th of October to respond to the motion in

 9     relation to Witness 71.

10             The Prosecution opposed the motion to tender the written evidence

11     pursuant to Rule 92 bis and request that all witnesses be called for

12     cross-examination.  On the 3rd of November, 2011, in an informal

13     communication, the Stanisic Defence dropped witnesses DST-068, DST-080,

14     and DST-057 from its witness list, leaving only the written evidence

15     relating to witness DST-071 to be considered by the Chamber.

16             On the 15th of November, 2011, the Chamber informed the parties

17     that the Rule 92 bis motion dealing with Witness DST-071 was denied, and

18     that the witness should be called for cross-examination.  The Chamber now

19     provides reasons for this decision.

20             The Prosecution argued that Witness DST-071 must appear for

21     cross-examination so as to clarify and give context to issues relating to

22     the JNA and Serbian DB's role in arming, financing, and providing

23     logistical support to military, TO, and volunteer groups, and to

24     determine the witness's knowledge, if any, regarding the role of the

25     Serbian DB members and the relation between the Serbian DB and the


Page 15118

 1     Red Berets.  The Chamber considered that the witness's evidence relates

 2     to live and important issues between the parties.  The Chamber,

 3     therefore, considered that the witness should be called for

 4     cross-examination and denied the Stanisic Defence request for admission

 5     of his written evidence pursuant to Rule 92 bis.

 6             And this concludes the Chamber's decision.

 7             We now move to the MFI list, the most exciting part of

 8     housekeeping sessions.  And we'll start with Prosecution exhibits.  We

 9     start with P2979.  The Prosecution has not sought to tender the document

10     on the 23rd of June, 2011, and it wanted it to have the document be MFI'd

11     and possibly tender it at a later stage.  At the same time, I note that

12     the Stanisic Defence has questioned Witness DST-051 and Witness DST-032

13     about the document.  Now, it has not been tendered.  Could I receive an

14     update from the Prosecution.

15             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, we do seek to tender it and

16     exactly for the reasons that Your Honours has just mentioned.  Since it's

17     been used by both parties, we believe that Defence may not object to

18     that, but we do seek to tender it at this time.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Any objections?

20             MR. JORDASH:  Can I just have a moment, please.

21                           [Defence counsel confer]

22             MR. JORDASH:  No objections.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Petrovic?

24             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] No objection.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  P2979 --


Page 15119

 1             MR. JORDASH:  Sorry, Your Honour.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 3             MR. JORDASH:  I'm just trying to get on top of this issue.  Our

 4     objection is -- we do have an objection.  We have an objection that the

 5     document is admitted for the truth of its contents; we do not object to

 6     it being admitted for impeachment purposes.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we'll further consider that and I'll refrain

 8     from a decision on the matter at this very moment.

 9             We move on, P2980, incomplete translation.  Is there a full

10     translation available?

11             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  It's been uploaded at

12     0609-4870-ET.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  There was nothing else which was an obstacle to

14     admission, if I'm not mistaken.  It's a document under seal.

15             Madam Registrar, the full translation may replace the incomplete

16     translation.  P2980 is admitted under seal.

17             Move on to P2984.  It was originally admitted as an excerpt.

18     Parties then agreed to have the entire document tendered.  The full

19     translation was not there yet.  Is it now?

20             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  It's uploaded as 65 ter 6208.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  And the uploaded full translation may replace the

22     incomplete previous one.  P2984 is admitted under seal.

23             Mr. Jordash.

24             MR. JORDASH:  Sorry, I just wanted to make sure that our position

25     on this is clear.


Page 15120

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  I thought it was that, that the parties had agreed

 2     that -- on the entire document to be tendered.

 3             MR. JORDASH:  But only in light of my initial objection to the --

 4     a portion of it being used, and once the portion had been admitted, we

 5     agreed to allow the rest of the file to be admitted because of the

 6     preliminary ruling.  So we object for the reasons well known to the

 7     Chamber concerning the admission of this personnel file.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  You say that -- but that was more or less

 9     rejected by our decision, and you say under those circumstances, then the

10     whole of the -- then the entire document, but you are still not happy

11     with the document to be admitted at all.

12             MR. JORDASH:  Exactly.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Full or in part.  That's clear.  It doesn't change

14     the decision.  It's now the full -- the full document together with the

15     full translation that is admitted into evidence.

16             Next one, P2986, stills from a video.  The Stanisic Defence

17     objected to admission until the relevance of this evidence was clear to

18     it.  The Prosecution then indicated that the relevance would be clear

19     after the next piece of evidence was shown to the witness.  However,

20     neither party ever revisited this matter.  Therefore, I'd like to receive

21     an update whether the Stanisic Defence still objects to admission, or is

22     convinced by the next piece of evidence that it is relevant evidence, and

23     if relevant, whether there are any other objections.

24             MR. JORDASH:  No objection.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  No objections.  And I don't think that the Simatovic


Page 15121

 1     Defence objected to it.  P2986 is admitted into evidence.

 2             Next one is P2988.  It is a document listing names of a

 3     commission.  Now, there is a similar, although not exactly the same list

 4     in P421.  It seems that no party has objected to the document but that we

 5     just had not admitted it.  Is that correctly understood, that there are

 6     no objections?  No objections.  P2988 is admitted under seal.

 7             I move on to P2989 which is objected to by the Stanisic Defence

 8     as it considers it to be an attempt by the Prosecution to covertly

 9     expound the Prosecution case, that's a matter that we dealt with in the

10     guidance.  Therefore, also in view of that decision, the prejudice is not

11     sufficiently demonstrated and P2989 is admitted into evidence.

12             For P2992, the same is true, same type of objection.  Here also

13     the prejudice is not sufficiently demonstrated, and P2992 is admitted

14     into evidence.  For P2995, excerpts from personnel files, the objections

15     against admission were not the same for the two Defences.  The

16     Simatovic Defence was concerned about a lack of evidence of who owned the

17     booklet contained in it and the lack of certification and the absence of

18     stamps.  Whereas the Stanisic Defence objected for different reasons, the

19     same as with the two previous documents, that is lack of notice.

20             There was another matter which is whether or not the excerpt, the

21     selection made by the Prosecution of this personnel file, it was only an

22     excerpt, whether there is any additional agreement between the parties

23     whether additional pages should be added to this excerpt in case the

24     Chamber would decide to admit it into evidence.

25             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, as far as we know, the entire personnel


Page 15122

 1     file for this individual was tendered by the Simatovic Defence as D456

 2     which is MFI'd.  We didn't object to the admission of the complete file.

 3     I wonder whether that probably renders the debate about the excerpt of

 4     that file moot.  I would suggest if the Chamber agrees with my

 5     assessment, that what we might do in this case, and this will come up as

 6     Your Honours probably already noticed, this comes up many times where one

 7     party tendered an excerpt of a personnel file and then later on the

 8     entire file is being tendered.  In such cases, I would like to request or

 9     suggest that when we vacate the Exhibit for the excerpt or that we

10     either, I don't know how technically it would be done but we mark it not

11     admitted with a surrogate sheet that enables someone to cross-reference

12     because, of course, in the record we are discussing one exhibit number

13     which later on becomes a part, an excerpt of a larger exhibit.  Just to

14     enable cross referencing we would recommend that as a technical solution

15     but of course we leave it up to Your Honours to think about that aspect.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Now, as far as D456 is concerned, there is a

17     translation missing, so whether or not it is exactly the same, the

18     Chamber has some difficulties in comparing this excerpt with D456, and

19     there's another matter, there's also a redaction issue in relation to

20     D456, where, of course, the -- it seems that this may have been resolved

21     between the Simatovic Defence and the government of Serbia, at the same

22     time as we indicated before, this does not in itself bind the other

23     parties so we do not know whether the Prosecution nevertheless would

24     insist on an unredacted copy.

25             MS. MARCUS:  I see, Your Honour, yes, I should have mentioned


Page 15123

 1     that we submitted the complete file for translation.  As soon as that's

 2     ready it can be uploaded and attached.  That's with regard to the

 3     translation.  With respect to the redactions, I'll have to check that.

 4     We do object to unredacted documents being tendered.  I would also like

 5     to confirm whether this file is probably part of our negotiations with

 6     the government of Serbia as to unredacted versions and Serbia has agreed

 7     to provide that for the ones that -- so I think that that will be

 8     forthcoming and we can provide that as soon as we get it.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Therefore, at this moment it's too early to already

10     decide on P2995, but we should clearly keep in mind that it's directly

11     linked to D456 and all the problems related to that last document.

12             Then we'll move on -- yes, Mr. Jordash.

13             MR. JORDASH:  Just to secure the record, we don't agree with

14     Ms. Marcus when she suggests that the issue is moot because the party --

15     a party then puts in an additional part of the record.  We still object

16     to the part of the personnel file and the full file for the reasons we've

17     given earlier.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I have to check, as a matter of fact, whether

19     you objected to D456.  Perhaps not because there was no translation yet.

20     We'll have a look at it.  We'll leave it open for the time being.

21             Then I move on to P2996.  I think that was also a notice matter.

22     The Stanisic Defence objected on the 14th of July.  Notice of the

23     Prosecution, what they are doing, why they are doing it, and why they are

24     doing it so late, that's -- I could refer to it again as the guidance

25     issue.  Now, there was another problem, that the English translation of


Page 15124

 1     page 3 was missing.  Could I first verify whether that translation is

 2     complete now.

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  The complete translation has been

 4     uploaded as BG03-2792-ET.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Then the new translation replaces the

 6     old incomplete one.  And P2996 is admitted into evidence.  The objection

 7     by the Stanisic Defence is overruled because the prejudice has not

 8     sufficiently been demonstrated.

 9             Then we move on to P2997.  The first question I'd like to ask the

10     Prosecution, whether apart from what else remains, whether this would be

11     a document that should be under seal?

12             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  That's then one.  Then there was a

14     Simatovic Defence objection about date and lack of probative value.  I

15     think it's on the record that I pronounce that this goes rather to weight

16     than to admissibility.  Now, the Stanisic Defence objected again on a

17     different ground, that is, lack of notice.  But apart from that

18     objection, the Stanisic Defence also wished to reserve its position

19     because you had not been in a position to re-examine the witness given

20     that the document came from a disclosure of 109 personnel files in B/C/S,

21     which you had no time to review.

22             Lack of notice is clear.  The other reservation, Mr. Jordash,

23     could you update the Chamber on whether now having had an opportunity to

24     look at this disclosure, and not having had a possibility to re-examine

25     the witness, whether you still wish now -- knowing the content, whether


Page 15125

 1     you still wish to re-examine the witness and that he should be recalled

 2     for that.

 3             MR. JORDASH:  Well, the issue of notice is what is at the

 4     foundation of that objection, that had we had, first of all, notice that

 5     the file would be used, we would have approached a significant part of

 6     our case differently, and in any event now the file has been used, we

 7     still do not know what the Prosecution say that man did, what his acts

 8     and conducts were and what the legal categorisation of them are.  So we

 9     are in the same position.  We --

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Now, you said at the time that you had no

11     opportunity to re-examine the witness because you had no time -- you had

12     had no time to review the material.  Now, you have had that time and

13     apart from all the other problems that may remain, does that trigger a

14     wish to recall the witness to be re-examined on this document?

15             MR. JORDASH:  No, for the reasons that I've just outlined, that I

16     don't know the significance of that person within the Prosecution case so

17     I wouldn't know how to re-examine the witness on it.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  So, therefore, there's no such request.  Then

19     the Simatovic Defence objection is denied due to weight rather than

20     admissibility.  The -- what remains of the Stanisic Defence objections,

21     prejudice has not sufficiently been -- has not been demonstrated

22     sufficiently and, therefore, that objection is denied.  P2997 is admitted

23     into evidence under seal.

24             We move on to P3008.  The Prosecution has sought only to tender a

25     few pages of this personnel file.  Had, however, uploaded the entire


Page 15126

 1     document.  The Stanisic Defence has objected that the Prosecution had not

 2     met the Prlic appeal threshold.  The Simatovic Defence agreed with that

 3     and also didn't think that it was appropriate for the Prosecution to

 4     tender through this witness.  That is, again, if I could say so, the

 5     guidance issue.

 6             Now, what I'm wondering is whether the Prosecution would be

 7     willing to reduce the documents to the pages shown to the witness plus

 8     whatever any other party would want to have added to that for purposes of

 9     contextualisation.

10             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, we have done that already.  We've

11     reduced the document according to what we understood to be the

12     instructions of the Chamber on this issue.  We have reduced it and

13     uploaded it to 65 ter 6240.1.  We are also, of course, happy to accept

14     any additional portions of the file that the Defence wishes to add to

15     that, but we have at this point only included the excerpts that were

16     discussed with the witness.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Is there any wish, apart from the objections against

18     admission, that if it would be admitted, that for further

19     contextualisation other parts of the document or, should I say the

20     personnel file, should be added?

21             MR. JORDASH:  Could we have some time to check that, please.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Mr. Petrovic, same time?

23             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Yes, Your Honour.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  How much time would you need, Mr. Jordash?

25             MR. JORDASH:  Middle of next week, please.


Page 15127

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Middle of next week.  I then set the dead-line at

 2     the 1st of December.

 3             Now, may I take it that since P3009 addresses exactly the same

 4     problems, that you would need that time for P3009 as well?  Also another

 5     personnel file.  Has it been reduced, Ms. Marcus, that one?

 6             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, and it's uploaded as 65 ter

 7     6241.1.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, if the Chamber would decide to admit, would any

 9     of the Defence teams want to add pages for contextualisation?  Also

10     1st of December, Mr. Jordash?

11             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, please.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, that's then true both for you and Mr. Petrovic.

13             I'm looking at the clock, I think it would be good to have a

14     break.  I meanwhile received confirmation that it is possible to have a

15     hearing this afternoon.  Now, at what time would we start.  I have a

16     meeting at 2.00.  I suggest quarter past 3.00.  Would that be ...

17             MR. JORDASH:  That's fine, Your Honour.

18             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] It's all right with us.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  So we'll now take a break and we resume at a

20     quarter to 1.00 and since it's very unlikely that we would finish this

21     morning, we'll continue this afternoon at quarter past 3.00.

22                           --- Recess taken at 12.25 p.m.

23                           --- On resuming at 12.54 p.m.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  I think we were at P3023.

25             Yes, Mr. Petrovic.

 


Page 15128

 1             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, please accept my

 2     apologies for interrupting you, but I would like your permission to say

 3     just a few words regarding the continuation of the trial and the bringing

 4     of witnesses.

 5             Your Honours, I'm now talking about the plan B that you ordered

 6     me to prepare.  If the Trial Chamber should not grant our request that

 7     Milovanovic testify before the beginning of our case, and if Milovanovic

 8     is unable to appear on Wednesday or the week of 5th December, I kindly

 9     ask the Trial Chamber that our plan B come into effect as of the

10     5th of December to avoid all uncertainty, first of all, as to what we are

11     supposed to tell our witnesses concerning organisation, procedure,

12     et cetera.  So basically, if our two requests are rejected, that the

13     plan B starts as of the 5th of December.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  We'll consider it, Mr. Petrovic.  I must say that

15     many things have changed over the last 30 minutes, one of them I'd like

16     to briefly discuss in private session.  Could we move into private

17     session.

19                           [Open session]

20             THE REGISTRAR:  We are in open session, Your Honours.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

22             I think we are at P3023.  That is the, if I could say so, the

23     Milosevic document.  The Stanisic Defence has accepted admission for

24     impeachment purposes but opposed for the truth of the content.  The

25     Simatovic Defence also opposed admission.  The Chamber admits P3023 and

 


Page 15130

 1     not explicitly or exclusively for impeachment purposes, which, by the

 2     way, does not mean that the Chamber would easily, on the basis of this

 3     document alone, accept the, if I could say so, the truth of what

 4     Mr. Milosevic submitted in that document and we'll carefully consider

 5     what weight to be given to the document in the context of the evidence in

 6     its entirety.

 7             Then I move on to P3025 up to and including P3028, four 1992

 8     reports concerning White Eagles.  Objections were there based on

 9     redactions.  The Prosecution submitted that it would be happy to tender

10     the unredacted documents but it just doesn't have them and that it would

11     request unredacted copies, Ms. Marcus.

12             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, we have those unredacted copies.

13     For P3025, the unredacted version has been uploaded as 65 ter 6263.1.

14     And for P3026, the unredacted version has been uploaded as 65 ter 6264.1.

15     For P3027, the unredacted version is uploaded as 65 ter 6265.1.  And for

16     P3028, the unredacted version is uploaded as 65 ter 6266.1.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you for that.  The objection was based on

18     redactions.  Simatovic Defence, are there any further objections?

19             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] No, Your Honour.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Which means that P3025, up to and including P3028

21     are admitted into evidence.  Now, Ms. Marcus, since they are now

22     unredacted copies, is there any need to have them under seal?

23             MS. MARCUS:  No, Your Honour.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Then they are admitted as public documents.  Next

25     one P3029, the Stanisic Defence sought an opportunity to inspect the


Page 15131

 1     content and the parties would further discuss whether anything else would

 2     be needed for contextualisation, and I'd like to have an update.

 3             Mr. Jordash?

 4             MR. JORDASH:  Sorry, I don't remember this issue in that way.

 5     I'm just looking at the Prosecution's chart.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Perhaps you take your time to look at it and then --

 7             MR. JORDASH:  I think these were uploaded only last night, I

 8     think, and that's why we haven't been able to turn our minds to it yet.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  They were uploaded last night?  Or ...

10             MS. MARCUS:  I'm double-checking, Your Honour.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Meanwhile, I abuse the time available to

12     instruct the Registry and this deals with the previous documents, to have

13     the new unredacted copies -- to have the old redacted copies be replaced

14     by the numbers mentioned before by Ms. Marcus, and I'm talking about

15     P3025 up to and including P3028.

16             Ms. Marcus, uploaded when?

17             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, I don't have that information yet, my

18     Case Manager is looking for it.  But if I could add on the issue of

19     P3029.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, that's what we were talking about.

21             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, exactly one more issue on this.  We made an

22     application on the 7th of October, 2011, I had like to renew that

23     application to admit other portions of this file.  We've uploaded those

24     additional excerpts as 65 ter 6271, as I say, this is a renewal of our

25     application that we made on the 7th of October.  They pertain to e-court


Page 15132

 1     pages 11 and 12 from this file.  We request that they either be added to

 2     the exhibit or admitted as a separate Exhibit.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then we'll hear from the Defence whether there

 4     are any further submissions.  Mr. Jordash.

 5             MR. JORDASH:  I can't remember the reasons why the Prosecution

 6     say they should be added so perhaps if we could hear what the reasons

 7     are.  I mean, I would in any event need to see the additions.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  I suggest that you deal with it -- that you explain

 9     each other's position out of court, that we'll then hear what then

10     remains as objections.

11             Then I move on to P3032.  The issue being that the OTP did not --

12     there are two statements.  They were not tendered and there seems to be

13     an agreement that only smaller portions of the statement would be

14     uploaded.  Further, the source of the statements was unclear.  Could I

15     hear whether smaller portions of the document have been uploaded and

16     whether there is further information as to the source of the documents.

17             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, the smaller portion has been uploaded

18     as 65 ter 6277.1.  As to the origin, I'm sorry, I didn't have that noted

19     down, but I will check that and get back to Your Honours.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we'll not decide on admission at this moment.

21     I then move to the last Prosecution exhibit, P3033.  B/C/S translation

22     was missing.  Is it there now?

23             MS. MARCUS:  Yes.  It is uploaded as 65 ter 6276.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  And, Madam Registrar, would you please attach that

25     to the Exhibit P3033.  Were there any objections against it?  I have not


Page 15133

 1     any notes of objections.  If not, P3033, report of the

 2     Humanitarian Law Fund, is admitted into evidence.

 3             We move to the -- to the Defence exhibits.  For D129, it may be

 4     better to put that on hold waiting for the new bar table submissions

 5     because they most likely would include or possibly would include this

 6     document, D129.  And the same would be true for the D130, D150.

 7     Mr. Jordash, would you -- is my assumption that they are likely to appear

 8     on a new bar table submission accurate?

 9             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, Your Honour.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  That would then be D129, D130, and D150.  Now, for

11     D159, I would say a similar matter applies, that they may appear on the

12     bar table submission.  At the same time here is an additional issue of

13     redactions.  Of course, we do not know whether this will be resolved in

14     your, if I could call them like that, your 54 bis discussions with the --

15     with the Serbian government, that's one, but if not, then, of course, the

16     Chamber would have to know what kind of redactions are made before we can

17     make any determination whether it's acceptable to have it admitted.  So,

18     therefore, if still redacted, I think it would be good to have it clearly

19     stated in the bar table submissions what the redactions are about.

20             Then I move on to a series of documents which is D230 up to and

21     including D251.  There's one in those series which might need specific

22     attention, but I first go to what is common to all of these.  The

23     Prosecution had objected to the admission of the associated exhibits

24     because it's -- these are associated exhibits to a -- to a witness

25     statement, a 92 ter statement, until it had some understanding of where


Page 15134

 1     and how these documents were covered in the statement.  Then on the

 2     24th of June, that's three days after these submissions, the

 3     Stanisic Defence said in court that the exhibit was still subject to

 4     further discussion between the -- between itself and the Prosecution.

 5     Therefore, for all these documents the Chamber would like to know whether

 6     there are still any authenticity or provenance concerns.

 7             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.  We do not object to the admission

 8     through the bar table, we'd submit, of D230, D231 and D235.  With respect

 9     to D232 MFI, we note that the English translation is incomplete and we

10     submit the document should remain marked for identification until the

11     complete translation is uploaded.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  That is D232.

13             MS. MARCUS:  232.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  You say English translation incomplete.

15             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, otherwise on D232 we do not object to its

16     admission provided we can have information about origin.  So that

17     document has the two issues, the translation and the provenance.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

19             MS. MARCUS:  With respect to D237 MFI, the document was not

20     contained in the witness comments chart nor included in the notice

21     documents for use with DST-051 to the best of our knowledge and we seek

22     further information as to its provenance.

23             With respect to D246 MFI we drop our objection to D246 and we

24     dropped our objection to D242, apologies for that being out of order.  So

25     we drop our objections to D242 and D246 MFI.  But we maintain our


Page 15135

 1     objection pending receipt of provenance information and unredacted

 2     versions for the following:  For D241 MFI we seek provenance information

 3     and unredacted version.  For D244 MFI we seek provenance information and

 4     an unredacted version.  For D247, the same holds, we seek provenance

 5     information and an unredacted version.  And for D248, we seek only

 6     information about its origin, same goes for D249, D250, and D251.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Which means that D246 is ready to be admitted, and

 8     is hereby admitted.  Now, for D245, Ms. Marcus, I'm asking you to assist

 9     me because since you didn't took the normal order, D245 is?  Was that the

10     one that was not dealt with?  Or ...  Let me just check because I lost

11     track for a second.

12             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, I'm sorry, I have that in a separate

13     entry.  Yes, we do have a position on that.  We maintain our objection

14     providing -- regarding authenticity until we receive information about

15     its origin.  That's for D245.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Okay.  And then D242 is ready to be admitted,

17     if I understand you well.  Objections dropped.

18             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  D242 is admitted into evidence.  Then D237,

20     Mr. Jordash, nowhere traced in the witness statement and apart from that

21     another problem, do you insist on -- then perhaps you explain to

22     Ms. Marcus, not necessarily at this very moment, why is it nevertheless

23     in the chart.

24             MR. JORDASH:  Well, we've -- I think the outstanding objection to

25     that was that it was -- they needed further information as to provenance,


Page 15136

 1     but we've provided it.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  I don't think it was -- I think it was -- let me see

 3     with respect to D237 MFI, the document was not contained in the witness

 4     comments chart, not included in the notice document for use with DST-051

 5     to the best of the knowledge of the Prosecution, and we seek further

 6     information as to its provenance.

 7             MR. JORDASH:  Well, in relation to the first part, it's unclear

 8     whether the Prosecution object to relevance and probative value.  We

 9     accept that the -- we accept the assertion that it wasn't connected to

10     the chart or witness, but we'd submit it pursuant to the bar table

11     procedure.  We've indicated to the Prosecution that -- we've indicated on

12     two occasions that it was received from the National Council and the RFA

13     was 1D4884.  Indicates on the 29th of June, and then the 3rd of July.

14             MS. MARCUS:  In that case, Your Honour, we drop our objection.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Which means that D237 is admitted into evidence.

16     What we then have the objections against D235 are still there,

17     Ms. Marcus, if I'm -- D232, English translation incomplete.  Have you

18     already asked for a new one?  It was not on my list of objections so

19     whether it's a new objection or whether it's -- could you take care,

20     Mr. Jordash, that the complete English translation will be there so that

21     we can further discuss admission.

22             MR. JORDASH:  We checked and it appears to us that the

23     translation is complete.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Is complete by now.

25             Ms. Marcus.


Page 15137

 1             MS. MARCUS:  I'll accept Mr. Jordash's assertion on that.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Did you have any other --

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, we wanted information about the origin.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Any information about the origin, Mr. Jordash?

 5             MR. JORDASH:  We've supplied that previously on the 29th of June

 6     and the 3rd of July, and it's RFA 1D1371.1 from the National Council.

 7             MS. MARCUS:  Objection withdrawn.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  D232 is admitted into evidence.  I think only two

 9     now of the series are still missing.  Let me just ... Yes, there were no

10     objections against D230 and D231.  Therefore, D230 is admitted into

11     evidence, D231 is admitted into evidence.  I think we had this series now

12     complete.

13                           [Trial Chamber and Legal Officer confer]

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, it was not complete yet.  Objections against

15     D235 were -- are not there anymore, therefore, also D235 is admitted into

16     evidence.

17             Then we come to D253.  There was a translation issue.  Yes, it

18     was a translation issue and apart from that I noted that it was a fax --

19     it was a document sent by fax which starts on page 9 and I wondered

20     whether there was any concern about the pages 1 to 8 not being tendered.

21             Has a translation been uploaded, Mr. Petrovic?

22             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, it has not been

23     resolved yet.  It could be our mistake but it also could be some

24     confusion.  I believe our friends from the Prosecution said they were in

25     a possession of a translation, but it has not been made available to us.


Page 15138

 1     It could be our mistake but it also could be that it got lost on the way.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Marcus.

 3             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, we sent the translation to the

 4     Simatovic Defence on the 9th of September.  It is ERN 0606-0093 up to and

 5     including 0606-0110.  We can find that e-mail and resend it if it seems

 6     to have fallen through the cracks.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Now, the other matter was that you would have a look

 8     at the pages 1 to 8, whether it was of any concern to you that we start

 9     only at fax page number 9.

10             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, I'd like another moment to check that.

11     I didn't have that aspect noted down.  I am sorry.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  Then next item D266, translation was pending.

13     Is the translation there now?

14             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, I believe that

15     document does not relate to our Defence team.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Apart from that -- yes, no, it has been dealt

17     with already in the housekeeping session we earlier dealt with it.  I

18     think, as a matter of fact, that we have instructed the Registry to

19     upload it.  The only remaining question then is whether there's --

20     whether there is any objection.  Not?  Ms. Marcus.

21             MS. MARCUS:  No objection, Your Honour.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  No objection.  D266 is admitted into evidence.

23     D271 -- D271 is the chart with the witness's comment on documents to be

24     ten dared as evidence with that witness, Witness DST-035.  Now, our main

25     focus will be on the underlying documents.  And there is another matter,


Page 15139

 1     the Prosecution has asserted that the witness has commented on 1D37

 2     instead of 1D377 as is indicated on the chart.  That's first a matter to

 3     be verified.  Has it been verified, whether there's any -- whether there

 4     is any mistake in the chart on what exactly the witness had commented on.

 5             MS. MARCUS:  Our concern is precisely as Your Honour has

 6     outlined.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And has the Defence looked at it?  I mean, if

 8     the parties agree that it's a typo, that may well be clear from the

 9     document itself, then the matter is resolved, I would say.

10             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, we would just request then that a corrigendum

11     cover sheet be uploaded so that it can be attached to the document.

12             MR. JORDASH:  Can we just return to that in two minutes.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Yes, what then follows is the -- is the

14     underlying documents because there were a few objections raised and if we

15     have dealt with all the underlying documents we then can move to the

16     chart itself.  For D272, is the first of the underlying documents.  Does

17     the objection stand?  At the time, Ms. Marcus, the claim was that you did

18     not -- could not understand the translation.

19             MS. MARCUS:  The objection is withdrawn.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Is withdrawn.  D272 is admitted into evidence.

21     D273, the -- there was no response of the Stanisic Defence against the

22     objection raised by the Prosecution, but the objection is denied because

23     it goes to weight rather than to admissibility.  And D273, therefore, is

24     admitted into evidence.

25             D274, a translation was pending.  It has now been attached and


Page 15140

 1     uploaded.  Any objections?

 2             MS. MARCUS:  No objection.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  D274 is admitted into evidence.  D276.  Prosecution

 4     objected to the irrelevance of this partial translation of a newspaper

 5     article.  Could the Stanisic Defence further explain the relevance.

 6             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, we drop our objection as to relevance.

 7     Sorry to interrupt, but we would maintain our objection until the full

 8     translation of the article is provided, that was the other aspect of the

 9     objection.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And is there a B/C/S original because I think

11     it was not there?  So you withdraw the objection but you are waiting for

12     the full translation, and then I have a note here that a B/C/S original

13     wasn't available.

14             MR. JORDASH:  B/C/S original is uploaded and we are just waiting

15     for the translation now.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  Then we'll leave it at that at this moment.

17     Yes.

18             MR. JORDASH:  Your Honour, in relation to D271 -- sorry, yes,

19     D271, the Prosecution and the assertion that the witness commented 1D37

20     instead of 1D377, the confusion arose because the B/C/S version was under

21     1D37 and the English version was under 1D377.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, and how are we going to fix this then?  Because

23     we have now established what the confusion was about.

24             MR. JORDASH:  I think we just select one, 1D377, and label both

25     in that way.


Page 15141

 1             MS. MARCUS:  Maybe I'm not understanding.  If our understanding

 2     as it is that the witness commented on 1D377, so are you saying - sorry -

 3     that the English version of 1D37 was uploaded as 1D377?  Because it's

 4     obviously the underlying document.

 5             MR. JORDASH:  Sorry, it was mislabelled in the chart.  That was

 6     my confusion.  In the chart that we put forward 1D377 was the English one

 7     and the B/C/S 1D37 and it would make sense since the witness commented on

 8     1D377 that that remains the number for both.

 9             MS. MARCUS:  Okay.  So it seems we agree.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, it seems you do.  Let me see where I was.  I

11     think we were at D277.  The Prosecution wanted additional information as

12     to the provenance of the document, and also who made the decisions about

13     what portions would be shown to the Chamber and what criteria were used

14     and how it can be assured that it was done accurately.

15             Could we hear from the Stanisic, is one of the famous reports

16     with redactions we discussed earlier this week or the excerpts, I should

17     say excerpts.

18             MR. JORDASH:  Precisely so, yes.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Then that is a matter still to be discussed, I take

20     it, with the Serbian government.

21             MR. JORDASH:  Yes.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we leave that open for the time being,

23     Ms. Marcus.  Any further comments?

24             MS. MARCUS:  We also sought information as to provenance, which

25     we can receive when we receive the other information as well.


Page 15142

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I take it it comes from the Serbian

 2     government, otherwise --

 3             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, for sure.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  We'll leave that open.  I move to D279 up to and

 5     including D290.  Translations were not there.  The translations have now

 6     been uploaded and attached.  The Prosecution has informed the Chamber

 7     that no more objections against admission do exist in relation to D280 up

 8     to and including D290.  In this series, I also have D279, Ms. Marcus, any

 9     objections against D279.

10             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour, we'd like information on

11     provenance.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash, can you answer?  These are all

13     commission documents.

14             MR. JORDASH:  If it's a commission document, I'm assured -- I'll

15     relatively sure and I'll have it confirmed that Mr. Stanisic received

16     them from the head of the commission.

17             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, to the best of our information this is

18     not a commission document.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Then I made a mistake because I referred to them as

20     commission documents.  Could you perhaps I could have a look at it, but.

21             MR. JORDASH:  I think we are going to need a bit more time to

22     find out the provenance, I am afraid.  Sorry.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Then D280 up to and including D290 are admitted into

24     evidence.  And D279 is still MFI'd.

25             The next one, D291, State Security Service 3rd department


Page 15143

 1     Official Note.  I think redactions was the problem.  Most likely subject

 2     to your conversations at this moment, Mr. Jordash, is it?

 3             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, it is.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Then that remains MFI'd awaiting the outcome of your

 5     conversations with the Serbian government.

 6             Then D292, translation was faulty, there was a revised

 7     translation.  Has the revised translation been uploaded?

 8             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Yes, Your Honour.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Then it may be attached to the -- to D292 and D292

10     since there were no objections as far as I know, but Ms. Marcus, you are

11     on your feet.

12             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, there are no objections.  We just would

13     suggest that the document remain under seal and that the

14     Simatovic Defence needs to inform Serbia that the document was used so

15     that they can have an opportunity to seek protective measures.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  D292 is admitted under seal, at least provisionally.

17             D293, the Prosecution would like to see the request for

18     assistance from the Stanisic Defence in relation to this document.  Does

19     your objection stand, Ms. Marcus?

20             MS. MARCUS:  Yes, Your Honour.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Does that mean that you have had no access to the

22     RFA or has the access to the RFA raised any further concerns?

23             MS. MARCUS:  To my -- to the best of my knowledge we have not

24     received the RFA, but I have to say that if we can be informed of which

25     RFA it was received, that may be sufficient for us to drop our objection.


Page 15144

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash?

 2             MR. JORDASH:  This is for the Simatovic team.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, I'm sorry.

 4             Mr. Petrovic, under what RFA was this document received?

 5             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, I have to put the

 6     ball back into the court of my colleague Mr. Jordash.  The document is

 7     1D2460.  It's from the 65 ter list of the Stanisic Defence and we used it

 8     from that list, so I don't believe I can answer the question of the

 9     provenance.

10             MR. JORDASH:  If we could have some time for that check, too.  We

11     think it came from the National Council.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, we leave it to that for the time being.

13             As I said before, there are some uncertainties about this

14     afternoon.  I would -- I would like -- the parties to remain standby so

15     that the Chamber has two or three minutes to further consider how we will

16     proceed.  We'll, therefore, take a very short break.

17                           --- Break taken at 1.41 p.m.

18                           --- On resuming at 1.46 p.m.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  As I said before, it was uncertain whether we could

20     proceed this afternoon.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, unforeseen

21     circumstances being circumstances not foreseen one hour ago, I should say

22     perhaps one hour and a half ago when I announced the be possibility of

23     sitting this afternoon, there are no three judges who are available and

24     fit to be in this afternoon session and that's the reason why we have to

25     cancel that option.  Now, that means that because we want to finish this


Page 15145

 1     housekeeping session, that we change slightly also the next week

 2     schedule.  We'll start on Monday finishing this housekeeping session

 3     which takes most likely anything between one hour and a half or close to

 4     two hours.  I do not know whether it's of any use to even apply for the

 5     possibility that the accused will arrive a bit later because they are not

 6     very much interested, which I fully understand, in this housekeeping

 7     session, but we'll start somewhere in the afternoon of Wednesday -- of

 8     Monday afternoon the hearing of the witness, DST-060.  That will then be

 9     continued and on the base of a schedule that might be possible to finish

10     that witness in two days, would that include cross-examination?

11             MR. JORDASH:  Well, we are waiting for the Prosecution and the

12     Simatovic team to give an estimation.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Any --

14             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honours, sorry, we stand by our estimate of

15     approximately four hours.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Petrovic.

17             MR. PETROVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, up to 45 minutes is

18     our estimate and we'll be trying to reduce it even further if it fits

19     into the schedule.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash, what was the time, I apologise for not

21     having the original estimate in mind?

22             MR. JORDASH:  I'm not sure I have it in mind, but I estimate I'll

23     be about an hour with the witness and in that vein I would simply remind

24     the Chamber of the usual examination to cross-examination distribution

25     of, I think it's 170 per cent for the cross-examining party.


Page 15146

 1             MS. MARCUS:  Your Honour, the Defence original estimate for that

 2     witness before he was converted to 92 ter was four hours.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Jordash, that would make four hours to four

 4     hours, that's a hundred per cent.

 5             MR. JORDASH:  Yes, but this is now 92 ter, so I'm just relying

 6     upon what we were asked to do.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  If I look at the whole of it, we would have one --

 8     up to one-half session on Monday which is effectively a little bit less

 9     than two hours, we would have three effective hours on Tuesday and we

10     would have three effective hours on Wednesday which should be enough to

11     conclude the evidence of the witnesses.

12             I would like to invite the parties to make a strict schedule so

13     that they reconsider again whether they really need all the time and that

14     the Chamber is being guided by the parties as when to stop, and it's

15     usually efficiency of examination-in-chief, and cross-examination is a

16     matter of being fully prepared and being fully focused.  I already add to

17     this that on Wednesday there will be only two judges.  We'll sit 15 bis,

18     I'll not be available on Wednesday.

19             Then we adjourn for the day and we'll resume on Monday, the 28th

20     of November, quarter past 2.00 in the afternoon in this same Courtroom

21     II.

22                           --- Whereupon the hearing adjourned at 1.51 p.m.

23                           to be reconvened on Monday, the 28th day of

24                           November, 2011 at 2.15 p.m.

25
