 2                           [Open session]

 3                           [The accused entered court]

 4                           --- Upon commencing at 9.33 a.m.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Good morning to everyone in and around this

 6     courtroom.

 7             Madam Registrar, would you please call the case.

 8             THE REGISTRAR:  Good morning, Your Honours, this is case

 9     IT-09-92-T, the Prosecutor versus Ratko Mladic.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

11             No preliminaries were announced.  Therefore, is the Prosecution

12     ready to call its next witness?

13             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, Mr. President.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Could the witness be escorted into the courtroom.  I

15     do understand that it's Ms. Gallagher.

16             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  And I also understand that there is an agreement

18     between the parties that we'll hear her evidence in chief only today.

19             MR. McCLOSKEY:  That's correct.

20             And good morning as well, Mr. President, Your Honours, everyone.

21             We have some rather old maps, so this will be an old-school style

22     presentation.  We do have map books that will help you, as well as I hope

23     they will be up on the screen.  The big maps that you'll see don't really

24     work well in e-court because they are so big, so we'll try to use the

25     smaller maps, though -- and I also noted that we don't expect you to be

 


Page 9417

 1     able to read the map from where you are, it's a bit far, but you'll get

 2     the feel of the positions and see some of the -- the translated version

 3     on the map book.  So ...

 4             And while the material is designed to be self-explanatory, I

 5     think it'll -- should be helpful to go over some things, but we, of

 6     course, encourage questions.

 7                           [The witness entered court]

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Good morning, Ms. Gallagher.  Before you give -- and

 9     first of all, could you please put in your earphones.

10             Before you give evidence, the Rules require that you make a

11     solemn declaration.  May I invite you to do so.

12             THE WITNESS:  I solemnly declare that I will speak the truth, the

13     whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

14                           WITNESS:  ERIN GALLAGHER

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.  Please be seated, Ms. Gallagher.

16             Ms. Gallagher, today we'll only hear your evidence in chief.

17     You'll not be cross-examined yet today.  You'll first be examined by

18     Mr. McCloskey.  Mr. McCloskey, as you may be aware of, is counsel for the

19     Prosecution.

20             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

21             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.

22                           Examination by Mr. McCloskey:

23        Q.   Can you state your name, please.

24        A.   Erin Gallagher.

25        Q.   And what is your position?


Page 9418

 1        A.   I'm an investigator with the OTP.

 2        Q.   And on what team?

 3        A.   With the -- over the years it's been with the Srebrenica team.

 4     I'm on the Mladic case now.

 5        Q.   How many years?

 6        A.   Seven years.

 7             MR. IVETIC:  Your Honour, I'm told there is no B/C/S translation.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  There is no B/C/S translation.  Could we check that

 9     the audio is the right channel, right volume.

10             You can hear the interpreters, Mr. Mladic?  It's okay.  Please

11     proceed.

12             MR. McCLOSKEY:

13        Q.   So, Ms. Gallagher, you've been an investigator for the Srebrenica

14     team for seven years now.  Can you tell us briefly about your educational

15     background and your professional background before coming here seven

16     years ago.

17        A.   I -- I -- the last 20 years of my life I was living in

18     San Francisco, California.  I went to the university at the University of

19     Wisconsin in Madison, and went to graduate school at San Francisco State

20     in San Francisco.  After graduate school I --

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Could I ask you to slow down for the interpreters.

22     We were -- you went to the -- perhaps you start all over because it went

23     in such a speed that ...

24             So you started you were living in San Francisco, you went to

25     university at?


Page 9419

 1             THE WITNESS:  University of Wisconsin in Madison.  Then I

 2     attended graduate school at San Francisco State University.  And after

 3     graduate school I joined the San Francisco Police Department and was a

 4     police officer for two and a half years before I joined the San Francisco

 5     District Attorney's Office as an investigator, and I worked there for

 6     eight years.  And that brought me to 2006, where I joined the ICTY.

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:

 8        Q.   And now can you briefly describe your work as an investigator

 9     here.

10        A.   I -- when I joined, I joined the Srebrenica team, so that has

11     been my focus for most of these years.  It's been an array of different

12     duties and responsibilities, everything from investigating aspects of the

13     case, components of the case, to conducting and leading missions to

14     Bosnia and Serbia, investigative missions, interviewing, archival

15     missions, as well as managing some of the forensic projects and analysis

16     here for the OTP.  And when in trial, also assisting with preparation of

17     witnesses and exhibits.

18        Q.   And in these years, can you give us a rough estimate on how many

19     times you visited the Eastern Bosnia area of Srebrenica municipality,

20     Zvornik municipality, Vlasenica, Eastern Bosnia?

21        A.   I would say it's between probably over 30, 30 missions.

22        Q.   And have you become familiar with the distances between the

23     various towns and villages by road?

24        A.   Certainly.  Some areas more so than others, but yes.

25        Q.   Okay.  Now for your testimony today, have you been involved in


Page 9420

 1     the preparation of what we call the Srebrenica court binder known as the

 2     map book with the trial team?

 3        A.   Yes, I've assisted putting it together.

 4        Q.   All right.  And is this a collection of both map illustrations

 5     and graphics made by the trial team and actual copies of original maps?

 6        A.   That's correct.

 7        Q.   All right.

 8             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And the map book, Your Honours, that you have in

 9     front of you is 65 ter 28747.  And if we can get that up on e-court.

10        Q.   And in developing some of the map graphics and information that

11     was placed on the graphics in the book, did you, actually, and the team

12     actually use information on the original maps?

13        A.   That's correct.  A number of the computer-generated maps do come

14     from the base information from the original VRS maps.

15        Q.   All right.

16             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And I'd like to go to one of those maps.  We have

17     three today.  And the first one is 65 ter 19563.  It should be on page 25

18     in e-court and on page C20 in the map book.

19        Q.   And have we -- have you brought the actual original map that the

20     OTP has in court today?

21        A.   That's correct.

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Could we get some help in just turning over that

23     first.

24             And be very careful, that tripod has been in use for too long and

25     it's very fragile.  If you could just turn that over.  And -- yes, thank


Page 9421

 1     you.  In e-court we can -- we now have that correct.

 2        Q.   And I don't want to go over all this information, but I just want

 3     to -- we can see that this map is entitled: "Decision of the DK Commander

 4     for Active Combat Operations," and what does DK stand for?

 5        A.   Drina Corps.

 6             MR. IVETIC:  Objection, Your Honour.  The witness is not

 7     qualified to render meanings of documents, or at least she's not been

 8     established foundationally for that purpose.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Is there any dispute about whether DK stands for

10     Drina Corps, Mr. Ivetic.

11             MR. IVETIC:  No, that's why I hesitated to rise.  But I do think

12     we need to set a standard for what this witness is qualified to testify

13     about, Your Honours.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  If there is no dispute about these matters, you can

15     use your time better, Mr. Ivetic.

16             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, I have had several discussions with the

17     counsel about these maps.  They have the maps.  I have not heard one word

18     of concern, Mr. President.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Well, just as it was not necessary for Mr. Ivetic,

20     it's not necessary to further comment on the matter.  I've dealt with the

21     matter sufficiently, I thought.

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Please proceed.

24             MR. McCLOSKEY:

25        Q.   Now we see in the right-hand, Commander


Page 9422

 1     Major-General Milenko Zivanovic.  Can you tell us what his position was?

 2        A.   All right.  In the --

 3             MR. IVETIC:  Objection, Your Honour.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 5             MR. IVETIC:  Yes.  This witness is a fact witness who is provided

 6     to enter maps into evidence, and I don't believe that she has been

 7     identified as someone who is going to testify as to personnel and as to

 8     their positions.  It was not listed on the original 65 ter summary nor

 9     the amended one.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Gallagher, do you have sources of information

11     which could tell you who Major-General Zivanovic is?

12             THE WITNESS:  Yes.  Over the course of seven years of an

13     investigation, I am aware of who he is.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Can you tell us what the sources of your information

15     are?

16             THE WITNESS:  It comes from -- from VRS documents, from

17     intercepts, from videos.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Is there any -- could you then tell us what

19     you learned from those documents.

20             THE WITNESS:  He was a commander of the --

21             THE INTERPRETER:  Kindly slow down for the interpretation.  Thank

22     you very much.

23             THE WITNESS:  He was the commander of the Drina Corps up until

24     July 13th, 1995.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  Is there any dispute about this, Mr. Ivetic?


Page 9423

 1             MR. IVETIC:  Well, Your Honour, it's about what witnesses are

 2     qualified to testify about.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic, I asked you whether there is any dispute

 4     about this position of this person during that period of time.

 5             MR. IVETIC:  The position of the person, no, I have no way of

 6     knowing whether this witness looked at what sources, Your Honours.  None

 7     have been identified for us.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic, again that was not my question.  My

 9     question was whether there was any dispute about this person having this

10     position at that period in time.  That was my question.  Whether there

11     was any dispute.

12             MR. IVETIC:  [Microphone not activated].

13             JUDGE ORIE:  I beg your pardon?

14             MR. IVETIC: [Microphone not activated] I believe I answered your

15     question, Your Honour --

16             JUDGE ORIE:  You have not switched on your microphone.

17             MR. IVETIC:  I believe I have answered your question,

18     Your Honour.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Could you give me the page and the line where you

20     did.

21             MR. IVETIC:  I guess it didn't get into the transcript, Your

22     Honour.  It should be at page 7, line 22.  I said I have no dispute as to

23     that.  But I have no way of commenting on the sources.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  That's -- no dispute.  Please proceed,

25     Mr. McCloskey.


Page 9424

 1             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.

 2        Q.   Ms. Gallagher, where did the OTP get this map?

 3        A.   This particular map came from a search and seizure of

 4     Milenko Zivanovic's department in 2009.  This is an original map that was

 5     obtained at that seizure.

 6        Q.   All right.

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And can we ask the usher to just show us the back

 8     of the map and if you could just lift it up a bit.

 9        Q.   And Ms. Gallagher, we can't read those green markings, but can

10     you tell us what the back of the map shows us about them and tells us

11     about the map?

12        A.   Well, you'll -- you see a stamp that says "Visegrad 1" --

13             JUDGE ORIE:  I think the -- yes, if you can come a bit closer so

14     that everyone can see it.  And there is one problem, Mr. Mladic may not

15     be able to see what it is.  Is there any way of having this picture at

16     this moment, perhaps it is on the video.  Yes.  Can you see it?  Could

17     someone assist Mr. Mladic to have the video there so that he can follow

18     what is now on the camera?

19             You need to push the video button.  That is on the back of this

20     map, Mr. Mladic.

21             Please meanwhile proceed.

22             There are three counsel and technicians.  I take it that -- no,

23     we are not going to change it, Mr. Mladic, because you can't look at from

24     two sides.  You have it on your screen.

25             Please proceed.


Page 9425

 1             THE WITNESS:  What you see on the back side of the map are --

 2     here are two stamps, and if we actually lift it up further, you'll see

 3     two similar stamps, and what it actually is is four individual maps that

 4     have been taped together.

 5             MR. McCLOSKEY:

 6        Q.   And does the -- is the scale of map indicated on -- on that green

 7     printing?

 8        A.   Yes.  I believe it's 1:50.000.

 9        Q.   And have you learned what that means?

10        A.   It means, in the scale of the map, 1 centimetre equals 500

11     metres.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic.

13             MR. IVETIC:  Yes, I have checked, Your Honour, and the maps that

14     were provided to us do not have the backside nor is it in e-court, so I

15     think that if we are going to be asking questions about something, the

16     parties should have that before them.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  You'll be given an opportunity to inspect it

18     yourself during the break, and we'll assure that Ms. Gallagher remains

19     available until after the break if you have some questions about it.

20             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

21             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Your Honour, Ms. --

22             JUDGE ORIE:  Have you offered to Mr. Ivetic to look at the

23     original maps?

24             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yesterday we both looked at that very map as it

25     sat right there.


Page 9426

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  It is my recollection that I saw it even there with

 2     the green parts visible.

 3             Mr. Ivetic, did you have an opportunity yesterday to look at the

 4     back of the maps?

 5             MR. IVETIC:  No, not the back.  The front, Your Honours.  But --

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. McCloskey, you said you were looking at the maps

 7     yesterday with Mr. Ivetic when the back was visible?

 8             MR. McCLOSKEY:  It was not like that.  It was the front --

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  It was --

10             MR. McCLOSKEY:  -- but it was there to be looked at.  I didn't --

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

12             MR. McCLOSKEY:  -- wasn't going to show him how to look at a map.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Mr. Ivetic might not have been aware that

14     there was relevant information at the back.

15             Please proceed.

16             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right.  I think we can flip it back down so

17     we can see the map.  And we can all see in the -- in the left corner:

18             "I approve, Commander Lieutenant-General Ratko Mladic."

19        Q.   But as we go farther down left, we see a flag with some red

20     around it.  Do you know the -- it's impossible to read it from where we

21     are, but can you tell us what that geographic location is, if you know,

22     symbolised by that flag?

23        A.   It's the headquarters of the Main Staff in Crna Rijeka.

24        Q.   All right.  And we see red marks drawn around blue marks.  Can

25     you tell us what the geographic area within those red and blue marks are?


Page 9427

 1        A.   That would be the Srebrenica enclave.

 2        Q.   And have you learned from the investigation what the -- the red

 3     and the blue marks are designed to depict?

 4        A.   The blue marks would be the position of the Bosnian Muslim

 5     territory, and the red marks would be the Bosnian Serb positions.

 6        Q.   And I think we all can see that within the red and blue area is

 7     two lines crossing each other.  Have you learned from anything in the

 8     evidence what this may, in fact, symbolise?

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic.

10             MR. IVETIC:  Your Honour, I object to -- now she's interpreting a

11     map and they are asking for anything that she may have reviewed.  We have

12     to be very clear that this witness is a fact witness, not an opinion

13     witness.  She is not here to analyse or give meaning to documents.  That

14     is contrary to the jurisprudence of the Tribunal as to what witnesses may

15     do, and analysing documents is for the Chamber to do based upon the

16     evidence.  And therefore I would strenuously object to this witness

17     giving meaning to things.

18             She can identify where things came from, she can identify things

19     that are apparent on the map, but to give meaning to things based upon --

20     on her work, that leads to crossing the border to an opinion witness of

21     document analysis, which is the type of testimony that has been barred by

22     several Chambers, including the Milutinovic and Djordjevic Chambers.  And

23     that's a purview of the Trial Chamber to interpret documents and what

24     they may mean.

25                           [Trial Chamber confers]


Page 9428

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. McCloskey, could you tell the Chamber, the red

 2     marks drawn around the blue marks -- no, let me see.  You said that:

 3             "Within the red and blue area two lines are crossing each

 4     other ..."

 5             Could you tell us what, in the view of the Prosecution, that

 6     depicts or what that means?

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:  It -- General Mladic said in a video what it

 8     meant and that is what our view is based on.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  I'm just asking you what it is in your view.

10             MR. McCLOSKEY:  We believe it's a cross.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  You believe it's a cross.

12             Any dispute about that?

13             MR. IVETIC:  It looks like a cross.  As to what it symbolises --

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  First question was:  Any disagreement?

15     Apparently not on that's a cross.  What does the cross stand for in the

16     Prosecution's position?

17             MR. McCLOSKEY:  The cross is simply something that is used by the

18     Republika Srpska in the Bosnian Serb army.  It's part of their coat of

19     arms.  We will see more of it with a little bit more information.  We

20     don't intend to go deeply into its history, it's meaning.  Just what it

21     is.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  What is it?

23             MR. McCLOSKEY:  A cross.  It's just a cross that's part of a coat

24     of arms.  It's a religious cross.  If I left out any doubt --

25             JUDGE ORIE:  A cross with a religious connotation.  Any dispute


Page 9429

 1     about that.

 2             MR. IVETIC:  It's a cross on a map, Your Honours.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  It's a cross on a map.  Fine.  Next question,

 4     please, Mr. --

 5             MR. IVETIC:  And may [overlapping speakers] ...

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  What I try to do -- Mr. Ivetic, you have reminded

 7     the Chamber and Mr. McCloskey what the case law of this Tribunal is.  One

 8     of the basics of this Tribunal is that we focus, and you will find that

 9     there are many rules, that we focus on matters that are in dispute.  Now

10     the Chamber wants and is best assisted to hear evidence on matters which

11     are in dispute.  Would you please keep that in mind when we proceed.

12             Mr. McCloskey, you may proceed.

13             And if similar objections will arise, the Chamber will focus

14     primarily to see whether there is dispute about matters or not, and where

15     agreement has apparently not been reached outside of this courtroom, then

16     we'll do it inside this courtroom and the Chamber even might assist the

17     parties at other occasions to avoid that we are spending much, much time

18     on matters which turn out to be not in dispute.

19             Please proceed.

20             MR. McCLOSKEY:  In that regard, Mr. President, I have asked the

21     Defence if they are in dispute that this is General Mladic's signature on

22     the left-hand corner.  I know they are under no obligation to answer

23     that, but it would be very helpful if we could hear their position.

24             MR. IVETIC:  There is no dispute, Your Honours.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  No dispute.  Okay.


Page 9430

 1             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

 2             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you very much.

 3        Q.   And, Ms. Gallagher, is there any evidence suggesting this is in

 4     fact a cross on the map?

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Well, it is a cross on a map.  The parties agree on

 6     that.  So there is no need -- unless Ms. Gallagher has any idea that it's

 7     a circle or it's a triangle, but a cross is a cross.

 8             Mr. McCloskey, if you have any other questions about the cross,

 9     of course, you could formulate them.

10             MR. McCLOSKEY:

11        Q.   Is there any evidence indicating what General Mladic --

12     General Mladic referring to a cross on a map?

13        A.   There is prior indication.  As you mentioned, a video where he

14     refers to a cross.  If I can elaborate further?

15        Q.   Please.

16        A.   In a video that's from June of 1996, he is speaking to other

17     Main Staff commanders and on video he mentions that when Zepa was

18     completed, and he gestures with his hands, he placed a cross on a war and

19     combat map and he did -- and signed his name, and he did the same on --

20     with Srebrenica.

21        Q.   All right.

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And I would --

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Mladic, you're supposed not to stand.  We

24     instructed you yesterday not to do that.

25             Please proceed.


Page 9431

 1             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Mr. President, I would like to offer the

 2     electronic copy of this map into evidence.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  This map only, Mr. McCloskey, or are you -- you

 4     first gave us a 65 ter number for the entirety of the --

 5             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, I would say this first 65 ter 19563 will --

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Just page C20.

 7             Mr. Ivetic.

 8             MR. IVETIC:  Actually, I believe it's a separate document in

 9     e-court, Your Honours.  So I think that would resolve the matter.  I

10     think it's number 19563, that's right, it's a separate document.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  It is uploaded as a separate document and tendered

12     as a separate document.

13             MR. IVETIC:  Correct.  And so no objection to the tendering of

14     that separate document.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Madam Registrar, the number would be?

16             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, 19563 will receive the number

17     P1084.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  P1084 is admitted into evidence.

19             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Now if we could go to another one of the original

20     maps that was used in the creation of the map book.  This is

21     65 ter 04770, e-court page 23, map book page C18.

22             And if we could get some help, it's -- it's this map right over

23     behind me.  And you may need to take off the current map.  Thank you.

24             And can we have on e-court the map -- the map book, 65 ter 28747.

25     And if we could go to e-court page 23, map book page C18.

 1        Q.   Now, Ms. Gallagher, is this another original map in your view?

 2        A.   Yes, it is.

 3        Q.   And is this also a glued or taped-together map like the last one?

 4        A.   That's correct.

 5        Q.   And is it the same scale, 1:50.000?

 6        A.   It is.

 7        Q.   And in these 1:50.000 VRS maps, can you tell us the -- the

 8     squares that are on the map, what are the size of those squares?

 9        A.   Each square represents 2 kilometres.

10        Q.   Okay.  And where did the OTP get this map --

11             JUDGE MOLOTO:  I'm sorry, Mr. McCloskey.  Which squares are we

12     talking about?  Okay.  Thank you.

13             MR. McCLOSKEY:  They are very --

14             JUDGE MOLOTO:  I've been helped.  Thanks.

15             MR. McCLOSKEY:  -- impossible almost to see on the current

16     product.

17        Q.   And where did we get this map from, and when?

18        A.   This map we got from what's called the Drina Corps collection.

19     It was a collection of Drina Corps documents, maps, records that the OTP

20     received in December 13th, 2004.

21        Q.   All right.  And we see in the --

22             JUDGE MOLOTO:  Received from?

23             THE WITNESS:  We -- we received it from the -- a combination of

24     the RS Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defence.

25             MR. McCLOSKEY:


Page 9433

 1        Q.   Where was the collection originally found?

 2        A.   It was originally found in Serbia.

 3        Q.   And just briefly, how did it find its way to the OTP?

 4        A.   It -- the -- the RS Ministry of Defence and Interior were

 5     notified of this archive that had been stored in Serbia and it was moved

 6     to -- eventually to Banja Luka, and the authorities there alerted the

 7     ICTY of the -- of this archive.

 8        Q.   All right.  And we can see on the English translation that -- a

 9     note that is written across this with it 12 July dated and under the name

10     Major-General, and it says "Rad Krstic."  Have you learned who

11     General Krstic is?

12        A.   He became commander of the Drina Corps after General Zivanovic.

13        Q.   And we see the same red and blue markings.  Can you tell us what

14     geographic area these two rough circles are covering?

15        A.   So the -- the top circle is the same from the -- the earlier map.

16     It's the Srebrenica enclave.  And then the lower area now is the Zepa

17     enclave.

18        Q.   And we can also see crosses over both those enclaves.  And in

19     addition to those crosses we see some symbols, four separate symbols on

20     each of the crosses.  Has the investigation led you to believe what those

21     symbols are?

22        A.   Yes.  I believe it's the -- the RS coat of arms and there are

23     four Cyrillic Ss.

24        Q.   And do you know what those four Cyrillic Ss are -- were to stand

25     for under the RS coat of arms?


Page 9434

 1        A.   It's -- it's "Only unity saves the Serbs."

 2             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And just, Your Honours, to go back briefly.

 3        Q.   Have you been able to see a map that was used in the Sarajevo

 4     portion of the case --

 5             MR. McCLOSKEY:  It's P3 in e-court at page 4.

 6        Q.   -- that indicated an army map?

 7        A.   That's correct.

 8        Q.   And on that map, the colours are reversed.

 9        A.   That's correct.

10        Q.   So can the actual colours tell us anything in specific in this

11     case?

12        A.   I've -- I've also seen some other ABiH maps where they have

13     changed the colours, so I don't want to speak for the ABiH maps, but with

14     the VRS maps they stay consistent, that the blue represents either the

15     ABiH or Bosnian Muslim positions and the red represents the Bosnian Serb

16     positions.

17             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And then, Your Honour, I would offer this

18     electronic map 65 ter 04770 separately into evidence.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Before we deal with that matter.

20             Mr. Ivetic.

21             MR. IVETIC:  No objection.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  No objection.

23             Mr. Ivetic, Ms. Gallagher has given her -- how -- has told us how

24     she understood and she agreed with you that she doesn't appear as an

25     expert.  Is there any of the -- I wouldn't say explanations, but any of


Page 9435

 1     what she told us how she understands what is written on those maps, is

 2     there any dispute about how she believed and how she perceived that, not

 3     as an expert, but on the basis of the work she performed over the last

 4     years?

 5             MR. IVETIC:  Your Honours, I am not in a position to say that

 6     I've looked at every single map to say that that's always the case.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  No, I'm not -- only about her testimony today, about

 8     the questions asked.

 9             MR. IVETIC:  You're asking me if I agree --

10             JUDGE ORIE:  For example, the four Ss, is there dispute about

11     what they stand for?  Is there any dispute about that these are four Ss

12     and not anything else?  Is there -- if there are points of issue, the

13     Chamber would like to hear from you so that further questions can be put.

14             MR. IVETIC:  If there were a dispute [Overlapping speakers] ...

15             JUDGE ORIE:  If you want to think about it -- if you want to take

16     more time --

17             MR. IVETIC:  There's -- I don't see -- it's visible on the map.

18     I mean, it's --

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, but earlier you said interpreting the maps by

20     putting questions to the witness was really reserved for experts.  And

21     therefore, I'm checking now, since Ms. Gallagher does appear as a witness

22     of fact, whether there is any dispute about it, because as you know, this

23     Chamber is highly interested in any matter in dispute between the

24     parties.  That's the reason why I am verifying it.

25             MR. IVETIC:  Okay.


Page 9436

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  You said it's -- you can see it on the map.

 2             MR. IVETIC:  I don't have a dispute as to this [Overlapping

 3     speakers] ...

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  No, no.  Any answer that is how Ms. Gallagher said

 5     she understood what she has seen on the maps and what she was asked

 6     about.  That is what I'm focussing on.  Take your time if there's any

 7     matter.

 8             Madam Registrar, the number will be?

 9             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, 65 ter 04770 will be Exhibit P1085.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  P1085 is admitted into evidence.

11             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

12             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.

13        Q.   Now I would like to ask you about and one of the last maps that

14     we brought in.

15             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And if I could ask the usher to remove the

16     current map.  And, Your Honour, if I could get your permission for myself

17     to go up and unclip the map, I appear to be the only one that can reach.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I don't know whether that's equality of arms

19     looking at the length of Mr. Ivetic, but please do so, Mr. McCloskey.

20             You even provided some evidence, Mr. McCloskey, showing us the

21     back with the same green markings.  Apparently Mr. Ivetic agrees with me,

22     I see.

23             MR. McCLOSKEY:

24        Q.   And, Ms. Gallagher, this is 65 ter 04342, and do you believe that

25     this is an original wartime map?


Page 9437

 1        A.   Yes, I believe this is also an original.

 2        Q.   Is it also scaled 1:50.000?

 3        A.   That's correct.

 4        Q.   Is it also glued and taped together in most places?

 5        A.   Yes, it is.  We can see the -- the taping of it on the backside.

 6             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And if we could go to e-court on page 15 of this.

 7     It's also B11 in the map book, and it's -- should be 65 -- the map book,

 8     as you know, is 28747, and it's the B11 in the map -- in the map book.

 9        Q.   And while that's coming up, can you tell us where did the OTP get

10     this original wartime map?

11        A.   This was seized from the Zvornik Brigade in a search and seizure

12     in -- on March 6, 1998.

13        Q.   All right.  And we can read for ourselves what this map is

14     entitled: "Operational Map of the Operations Organ of the Command of the

15     Zvornik Infantry Brigade, 1993 through 1995."  And we also see down in

16     the very right-hand corner of the map, in Cyrillic, the names of two

17     officers, Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations and Training Major

18     Mihajlo Galic and Major Miodrag Dragutinovic.  Can you tell us who

19     Major Galic is from your knowledge of the investigation?

20        A.   Well, also as stated in the map, he's the assistant chief of

21     operations and training for the Zvornik Brigade.

22        Q.   And what about Miodrag Dragutinovic?  Who is he?

23        A.   He is the deputy to Mihajlo Galic.

24        Q.   And has Dragutinovic testified at the ICTY?

25        A.   Yes.  He testified in the Popovic case in 2007.


Page 9438

 1        Q.   And have you reviewed his testimony?

 2        A.   I have.

 3        Q.   Can you briefly tell us what he had to say about the creation of

 4     this map?

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic.

 6             MR. IVETIC:  Your Honours, I don't believe it's proper for any

 7     witness to testify about what another witness said in another proceeding

 8     that is not evidence in this case, and I would strenuously object on that

 9     basis.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. McCloskey, the usual way of introducing evidence

11     from another case is to do that through 92 bis or ter.

12             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, Mr. President, though, I would look to the

13     exception to hearsay is clearly admissible, and I'm not asking for the

14     testimony and any significance to be entered into evidence, merely two or

15     three points related to the creation of the map and what a couple of

16     things mean, like the colours.  It is really incumbent upon us to prove

17     to you that this is authentic and what the material is, and this is the

18     kind of hearsay that I think will be very helpful without violating

19     Rule 92 bis.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Well, it may be that if you ask Ms. Gallagher

21     whether she has developed any understanding about the colours of the maps

22     that she gives an answer, and it might turn out not to be in dispute, and

23     then I think the whole issue may disappear.

24             MR. McCLOSKEY:  I understand, Mr. President, but sometimes there

25     will be facts that may not be in dispute but that we want the


Page 9439

 1     Trial Chamber to know precisely where they came from to show how reliable

 2     they are.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  If even that can be agreed upon.  I mean, if you say

 4     this map came from there and there, or authenticity, of course, is a

 5     matter under Rule 89 - forgive me about which one - where the Chamber can

 6     ask for proof of authenticity, the Chamber is not obliged to do so.  The

 7     Chamber will consider whether or not there are reasons to do so.

 8             And therefore I suggest to you that you proceed as I suggested.

 9                           [Trial Chamber confers]

10             MR. McCLOSKEY:

11        Q.   Ms. Gallagher, let's try to look at this map and the -- frankly

12     the -- if we can go to the map on the previous.  Well, no, let's leave it

13     the way it is.  Can you -- and you, I believe, have a laser pointer.  And

14     let's -- one thing I didn't ask you is:  Which direction is north on this

15     map?

16        A.   North -- in all of these maps, north is pointing, as it is north,

17     so north, south, east, and west.

18        Q.   And --

19             JUDGE ORIE:  You mean to say north is upwards.

20             THE WITNESS:  True.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  And south is downwards.

22             THE WITNESS:  True.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Please proceed.

24             MR. McCLOSKEY:

25        Q.   And do we have the -- do we have a river that helps us with that?


Page 9440

 1        A.   Yes, the Drina river always also travels north to south and you

 2     see it on the eastern portion of the map.

 3        Q.   Can you use that -- I hate to use technology, but can you use

 4     that laser pointer to show us where the Drina river is?

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  The Chamber has heard a lot of evidence about where

 6     the Drina is, Mr. McCloskey, so therefore there is no need to do that.

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you, Mr. President.

 8        Q.   Now, starting on the southern part of this map, we -- we again

 9     see the red surrounded by the blue.  What is the geographic area that

10     those marks are surrounding?

11        A.   I think you're talking about this southern portion here?

12        Q.   Yes.

13        A.   Once again this would be the Srebrenica enclave with the blue

14     being the Muslim positions and the red being the Bosnian Serb positions.

15        Q.   And we can also see, as we look down there on the translation,

16     a --

17             JUDGE ORIE:  For the record, Mr. McCloskey, Ms. Gallagher pointed

18     with a laser at the blue dotted line surrounded area, immediately left to

19     the marking on the map "assistant chief of staff for operations" and the

20     two names.  That's what she pointed at with the laser pen.

21             Please proceed.

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:

23        Q.   We also see down there in Cyrillic translated to Krivaja 95 from

24     4 July 1995 till 13 July 1995.  What, based on your knowledge of the

25     investigation, is Krivaja 95?


Page 9441

 1        A.   That's the code-name given to the Srebrenica operation.

 2        Q.   By who?  I mean, by what -- what side?

 3        A.   By the -- the VRS army.

 4        Q.   Okay.  And we can now also see in the northern -- north-western

 5     part of the Srebrenica enclave another circle, a -- more of an oval, that

 6     has arrows coming out of it.  What are the villages, if any, within that

 7     oval that you're aware of?

 8        A.   Susnjari and Jaglici.

 9        Q.   And are you aware of what these blue arrows that move in a

10     north-westerly direction represent for the VRS?

11        A.   It's the movement of the Bosnian Muslim column leaving the

12     Srebrenica enclave.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Here, Mr. McCloskey, of course, the witness is

14     really giving -- without knowing exactly what the sources are, she is

15     interpreting the map, and beyond what she did before.  Therefore, I would

16     like to check whether there is any disagreement that this is what the

17     arrow means.

18             MR. IVETIC:  I don't know, Your Honour.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  You don't know whether there is any dispute about

20     it?

21             MR. IVETIC:  No, I don't.  I don't know the totality of the

22     evidence yet.  As you'll recall, we received the materials for this

23     witness a few days before the weekend, so have I had an opportunity to

24     investigate, to check?  I don't know, Your Honour.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  So at the moment you cannot tell us that there is


Page 9442

 1     any dispute about this.

 2             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

 3             MR. McCLOSKEY:

 4        Q.   Ms. Gallagher, have you received specific information from the

 5     person that drew on this map what these blue arrows mean?

 6        A.   He also stated in his testimony what the blue arrows mean, that

 7     it was the movement of the column.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Who is he in this respect?

 9             THE WITNESS:  Sorry.  General Miodrag Dragutinovic.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  So if I understand you well, your understanding of

11     this map was confirmed to you by what you heard or have seen as the

12     testimony being given by General Milutinovic -- no, no, it's -- yes,

13     Dragutinovic.  That's how we have to understand your testimony.  Please

14     proceed.

15             MR. McCLOSKEY:

16        Q.   Just to clarify, are you aware of Mr. Dragutinovic's rank?

17        A.   Yes.  I did want to correct that.  He was not a general.  I

18     believe he was a major at the time.

19        Q.   And can you just briefly describe the route of these that the --

20     that's depicted by the blue arrows?  We can't really see them, read them,

21     but just -- these are the village names that the Court may be hearing

22     over and over again.

23        A.   So once again, starting with Susnjari and Jaglici, that's where

24     they left from.  They are crossing over the hills above Kravica, crossing

25     near towards Nova Kasaba, and crossing the asphalt road there.  Heading


Page 9443

 1     over towards the mountains near -- above Cerska, Udrc mountain, and

 2     continuing on, heading towards -- ultimately towards Nezuk.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. McCloskey, the map in the courtroom at this

 4     moment, of course, has no markings and wide boxes on it.  Do I take it

 5     that your question was about the blue arrows continuing above where it

 6     says "1st Milici Infantry Brigade," because it starts at an oval, which

 7     is not visible as an oval, but oval shaped, half of it we can see it, and

 8     then to continue up in a north-westerly direction, up to the level

 9     approximately where -- or is it going further north?  Is that what your

10     question was about?

11             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes.  And Mr. President, if you look at the B10,

12     you can see the map blown up without the translations obscuring the

13     arrow, and I asked Ms. Gallagher just to trace the route of the arrow and

14     give us --

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Up to where --

16             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And --

17             JUDGE ORIE:  I see -- at a certain moment I see -- near to the

18     blue arrows I see 16/07/95.  Is it up to there or is it even further?

19     But we could ask the witness --

20             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  -- what she explained to us.

22             You see on the map -- we see first the arrows being thick going

23     in a north-westerly direction, then they slowly bend to the north.  And

24     then we see a few thicker arrows again, and then they are slowly bending

25     to the left, and then we see 16/07/95.  Is it up till there you have


Page 9444

 1     explained or did your explanation go any further?

 2             THE WITNESS:  It actually brings us a little further north where

 3     you see the arrows end and where the blue dashes are representing the

 4     Bosnian Muslim territory.  So it moves into -- just past the -- into the

 5     Muslim territory and towards a town called Nezuk.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Thank you for that explanation.

 7             Please proceed.

 8             MR. McCLOSKEY:

 9        Q.   Now can you -- have you in your examination of this map been able

10     to find any markings that indicate a -- a possible northern border of the

11     Drina Corps?

12        A.   I can't see very well where the -- if there is a border marking

13     right there where it says "IBK," that is the acronym for the East Bosnia

14     Corps, so the Drina Corps is adjacent to the East Bosnian Corps.

15        Q.   All right.  I won't ask you to get up there to try and find that

16     mark.  I don't think that will be a problem.

17             We also see not far from -- well, where the blue arrows go

18     through, not far from Nezuk where you just pointed, various symbols in

19     Cyrillic.  Do you know what those -- and they appear to be on the Serb

20     side of the lines, do you know what those are indications of?

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Could we then zoom in?  Because if you say there are

22     various, I'd like to know exactly which ones we are talking about.

23             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And if we could go to -- it's page -- for the map

24     book 65 ter, it's e-court page 19, your map book page B15, Your Honour,

25     is the best blowup of this particular area.


Page 9445

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  That's fine.  We see some -- at least one.

 2             MR. McCLOSKEY:

 3        Q.   Now, Ms. Gallagher, as we look at 16 July 1995 written there with

 4     the arrows going past it in a north-westerly direction, where the red

 5     lines and the blue lines meet, what -- do you recall was that the area of

 6     a place called Baljkovica?

 7        A.   That's correct.  That's the territory and July 16 signifies when

 8     there was -- when the Muslims confronted the Bosnian Serbs in that area.

 9        Q.   All right.  And what I was asking you about originally, we see

10     Cyrillic markings 7, 4, 6, 3, 2, 1.  Do you know what those -- those

11     Cyrillic markings are?

12        A.   These ones through here, these are the battalions of the

13     Zvornik Brigade.

14        Q.   All right.

15             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Then, Your Honour, I would offer this map

16     individually into evidence.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

18             Now I take it, again, that you asked the witness how she

19     understood these markings.  What they were is a different matter.  But

20     how she interpreted it.

21             Is there any dispute about that, Mr. Ivetic --

22             MR. IVETIC:  No, Your Honour.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  -- that the 1 to the 7, et cetera, stand for the

24     battalions --

25             MR. IVETIC:  No, Your Honour, and I assume this is -- and I


Page 9446

 1     assume when he says "this map," I think he is talking about the original

 2     big map as opposed to just the blowup.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  It's just a blowup.  But that these Cyrillic

 4     markings stand for battalions of the Zvornik Brigade is not in dispute.

 5             MR. IVETIC:  No, Your Honours, it's a matter of translation.  I

 6     think on the one map some of them might be translated on the big map.

 7     That was my point.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 9             MR. IVETIC:  I am not positive but I know that OG 4 was

10     translated on the big map that we had before us even though it was in

11     Cyrillic.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  No, you can -- if you -- perhaps in

13     cross-examination if you'd like to further hear evidence from this

14     witness, you have an opportunity to elicit that.

15             Madam Registrar, and we are now talking about the map in its

16     entirety, isn't it -- or, just this -- the small portion we just looked

17     at?

18             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Actually, no, the map 65 ter 04342.

19             MR. IVETIC:  Correct.  And I have no objection to that.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

21             Madam Registrar.

22             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, that would be Exhibit P1086.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  P1086 is admitted into evidence.

24             Mr. McCloskey, I am looking at the clock.  We usually take a

25     break.  How much more time would you need?

 


Page 9447

 1             MR. McCLOSKEY:  I am pretty sure we can finish within 30 minutes.

 2     I just want to briefly go over the map itself, which is largely

 3     self-explanatory, and leave it at that.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, well, if it's self-explanatory and if it's in

 5     evidence, then perhaps a small conversation with Mr. Ivetic, what are --

 6     I mean, facts of common knowledge, of course, we can take judicial notice

 7     of that.  So what is blue or what is red is -- give it a try.  Perhaps a

 8     cup of coffee would help.

 9             Shall we take a little bit of a longer break, half an hour.

10             Yes, Ms. Hochhauser.

11             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, if I might just inquire in terms of

12     the administrative matters that you intend to deal with in the next

13     session, just whether specifically we would be prepared to talk about

14     the -- the items of evidence related to witnesses Suljevic and Brennskag

15     because if so, I'll have to ask two of my colleagues to join us for the

16     next session.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  We will let you know, and I just make a note.  You

18     said Suljic and Brennskag.

19             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  I believe I can handle the discussion as to the

20     rest of the items the Prosecution listed.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Did you say Suljic or Suljevic?

22             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Suljevic.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Suljevic, then I misunderstood you.  Suljevic and

24     Brennskag.

25             MS HOCHHAUSER:  The remaining items on the list that the

 


Page 9448

 1     Prosecution sent I believe I can address, but for those two categories I

 2     would have to invite colleagues down.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  We'll use that half-hour to further prepare for that

 4     as well.

 5             Could the witness be escorted out of the courtroom.  We'd like to

 6     see you back in half an hour.

 7                           [The witness stands down]

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Stojanovic.

 9             MR. STOJANOVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, I believe that

10     something should be corrected in the transcript.

11                           [Trial Chamber and Registrar confer]

12             JUDGE ORIE:  We move for a second to private session.

13                           [Private session]

14   (redacted)

15   (redacted)

16   (redacted)

17   (redacted)

22   (redacted)

23   (redacted)

24                           [Open session]

25             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, we are back in open session.

 


Page 9449

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.  We will take a break

 2     and resume at 10 minutes past 11.00.

 3                           --- Recess taken at 10.37 a.m.

 4                           --- On resuming at 11.10 a.m.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Before we continue, Mr. McCloskey, there were two

 6     items I thought whether we would deal with them on the list of

 7     administrative matters for which you would need to call someone else.

 8     That was Mr. Suljevic.  There we are waiting, I think, for further

 9     submissions by the parties.  If I -- if that's correct, the 50 documents?

10             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, I don't know if that --

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.

12             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  If they were -- sorry, if the Chamber was

13     expecting written submissions, but, Mr. Weber is prepared to deal orally

14     with those items.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Perhaps that's good if he would be in court later,

16     not necessarily now.  And the other one was about the --

17             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  The other one was the map agreed upon by the

18     Prosecution and Defence --

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, of course.  The Chamber expects the parties to

20     present something, and we do understand that they have agreed on it.  So

21     therefore we would like to see what the result is.

22             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Okay.  So I'll ask Mr. Shin to come down as

23     well.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Not necessarily immediately, but ...

25             Then could the witness be escorted into the courtroom.


Page 9450

 1             Mr. McCloskey.

 2             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes.  And, Mr. President, Mr. Ivetic did offer to

 3     buy me coffee, but before we got to that, we agreed on sections B and C

 4     of the map and agreed to disagree on section A of the map.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  Then we'll hear from that.  You said

 6     section A of the map, and that is the big map, then?

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:  No, it's section A in the map book, Your Honour.

 8     Those are the maps that the Prosecutor created themselves.

 9                           [The witness takes the stand]

10             MR. McCLOSKEY:  B and C were the sections of just reproductions

11     of the maps we've already gone over, and you've seen some of the

12     sections B and C, so they were just enlargements and reproductions of the

13     maps.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  So there is no objection against admission of

15     B and C and there is objection against A.

16             MR. IVETIC:  That's correct, Your Honour.

17             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  The first map in A is already in evidence, I

19     think.  So therefore that disagreement is not very productive.

20             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Is that A1?

21             JUDGE ORIE:  A1.

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, okay.  Then I --

23             JUDGE ORIE:  I think it's on the walls of almost everyone in this

24     building, but if there is disagreement on admission, the Chamber will, of

25     course --

 


Page 9451

 1             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, and it's really there just to put Bosnia in

 2     the context of the former Yugoslavia.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  Let's not discuss it at this moment.  It's

 4     clear where you agree and where you do not agree.

 5             Mr. McCloskey, you may proceed.

 6             MR. McCLOSKEY:  So if we could go to the map book, 65 ter 28747,

 7     and then let's start with what is on page 5 of e-court, it's A2 in the

 8     actual map book.  It's the next -- the next --

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Next page.

10             MR. McCLOSKEY:  -- page in e-court.

11        Q.   Who created this map?

12        A.   Our GIS mapping unit as part of the OTP created it.

13        Q.   And just one thing to clarify.  We can see that there is a

14     legend.  And the Dayton line, can you clarify to us where this thin black

15     line is, the Dayton line, because it's not -- was never clear to me until

16     you explained it.

17        A.   Well, it's basically where you see the separation of the colours

18     between the Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, so

19     between the orange and the yellow, the thinner black line is the

20     Dayton line.

21        Q.   All right.  And we see there is a scale on this, and has your

22     travel around Bosnia, does -- is that -- does that roughly correspond to

23     this scale?  Do you see any problems in the scale of this simple map?

24        A.   No, I don't.

25             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right.  Let's go to the next page, then, in


Page 9452

 1     e-court, page 6, A3 in the book, 6 in the e-court.

 2        Q.   And who created this map graphic?

 3        A.   Like before, the graphic is also created by our GIS mapping unit.

 4        Q.   And we see the -- the information in it identifying 6 VRS corps

 5     with the outline and the Bosnia-Herzegovina in the middle.  Who provided

 6     the information that is reflected in this map?

 7        A.   It -- the -- what you're referring to, I believe, is the corps

 8     boundaries where the corps are located, and those were derived from our

 9     military expert, Rick Butler, and I believe he used many different

10     sources for that information.

11        Q.   All right.  And we'll be seeing Mr. Butler eventually.

12             MR. McCLOSKEY:  So let's go to the next page.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  You said "Bosnia-Herzegovina in the middle."  It --

14     the legend says Bosnia-Herzegovina, wherever it's yellow.  So therefore

15     it seems that the whole of the map, apart from the Drina Corps, is

16     Bosnia-Herzegovina.  It's a bit confusing.

17             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Well, that's a -- also a political issue, what is

18     Bosnia-Herzegovina; but you're right, Mr. President.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  But you said that we found that there and I find

20     contradicting information on the map.  That's the only thing I want to

21     point at.

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:

23        Q.   And, Ms. Gallagher, can you -- the President is, of course,

24     correct.  Can you -- the corps that are marked in red with those

25     boundaries, should those be distinguished from the yellow in the middle


Page 9453

 1     that's marked "Bosnia-Herzegovina"?

 2        A.   Correct.  Ideally it would be better to have that a different

 3     colour.  I think the purpose of this map was to highlight actually the

 4     Drina Corps boundaries.

 5        Q.   And the Drina Corps, obviously, within Bosnia-Herzegovina;

 6     correct?

 7        A.   That's correct.

 8        Q.   And we'll get to the next page which will hopefully clear that

 9     up.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Consistency is a good thing.

11             Please proceed.

12             MR. McCLOSKEY:

13        Q.   And if --

14             JUDGE MOLOTO:  If I may just ask for a clarification for my own

15     self.  Does it then mean that the yellow part which is marked

16     "Bosnia-Herzegovina" but which is inside where there is no corps

17     mentioned, was there no corps there of the VRS at all?

18             MR. McCLOSKEY:  No, Mr. President.

19        Q.   Can you tell us, Ms. Gallagher, what -- who owned that at the

20     time of the war?

21             JUDGE MOLOTO:  At which time?

22             MR. McCLOSKEY:

23        Q.   At the wartime?

24             THE WITNESS:  That's correct.  That would be the Bosnian Muslim

25     territory.  And these maps reflect roughly the time-period of 1995.


Page 9454

 1             JUDGE MOLOTO:  Thank you so much.

 2             MR. McCLOSKEY:

 3        Q.   And of course there was the Bosnian Muslim Croat Federation,

 4     correct?

 5        A.   Correct.

 6        Q.   Okay.

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right.  Let's go to page 7 in e-court.  A4.

 8        Q.   Now we have -- this is a blowup, as we see, of the Drina Corps,

 9     entitled: "The Drina Corps Area of Responsibility," and we can see that

10     there have been lines dividing up the various brigades of the Drina Corps

11     with the two enclaves.  And the Drina river.  And who provided the

12     information that went into the creation of -- of this map?

13        A.   Obviously it's a map generated by our mapping unit, but the

14     underlying information of the different brigades comes from the

15     Dragutinovic Zvornik Brigade map that you saw earlier, also with the

16     assistance of military expert Rick Butler.

17        Q.   Okay.

18             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Let's go on to the next map graphic, page 8 in

19     e-court.

20        Q.   And we see this is a very basic map with Batkovic camp marked on

21     the -- the top north and Rogatica on the bottom south.  And who created

22     this map?

23        A.   It is also from our mapping unit.  And once again with the --

24     some of the underlying information coming from the prior Dragutinovic

25     Zvornik Brigade map, in particular the enclaves.


Page 9455

 1        Q.   All right.

 2             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Let's go to the next page 9 in e-court.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Could I ask for one clarification from the previous

 4     one, the last one.

 5             It seems to be just a map with -- is it true that only the

 6     enclaves are added, Ms. Gallagher?

 7             THE WITNESS:  That's correct.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic, what is the basis?  Because it seems to

 9     be apart from that just a geographical map, and is it that you consider

10     the enclaves not to be depicted in accordance with what we find in the

11     other maps, or what is the basis for the objection to this map?

12             MR. IVETIC:  Well, the basis of the objection, Your Honour, was

13     that this map did not identify the source that it came from.  That was

14     the objection at the time.  So we are presented with a map that appears

15     to present information that we don't know where it comes from.  I don't

16     have an objection to the geographic layout of the regions.  I cannot know

17     because I have not seen the entirety of the evidence if the -- I'd have

18     to look at the other map, but as I recall, there were two colours on the

19     other map and now we have three colours.  So it cannot be --

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Let me see which -- where is that --

21             MR. IVETIC:  There is purple, red, and blue on the map that I see

22     in the map book, Your Honour, so again -- correct, as to the Srebrenica

23     and the Zepa, there is now purple, red, and blue, whereas I believe in

24     the map that we had before it was just --

25             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.


Page 9456

 1             MR. IVETIC:  -- blue and red.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Blue and red.  Is there any explanation for the

 3     purple around Srebrenica.

 4             THE WITNESS:  No, I don't know the reason for that.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  So for you it's blue as purple can be is that --

 6             THE WITNESS:  I think it would -- it would --

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  The legend does not give any explanation.

 8             THE WITNESS:  No, that's correct.  I think it would be more clear

 9     and consistent if it were blue, but I believe that the dimensions, the

10     locations are the same.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, okay.

12             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

13             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Okay.  Thank you.

14        Q.   And while we're on that map, as well, is the confrontation line

15     noted in a grey colour as well?

16        A.   On map 5.

17        Q.   It's A05 --

18        A.   5.

19        Q.   -- yes, and page 8 in e-court.

20        A.   That's correct.  The dark grey line is the confrontation line.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  And the border with Croatia as well?  I see in the

22     north -- north --

23             THE WITNESS:  That's correct.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  -- of Backo.  So it's not consistent confrontation

25     line but it has several meanings.


Page 9457

 1             THE WITNESS:  Correct, yes.  And you see it also used as the

 2     boundary with Serbia.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  So that's not consistent whether it's

 4     confrontation line or could it be -- I don't know, Republika Srpska BiH

 5     border --

 6             THE WITNESS:  Be boundaries, yes.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Then it's not a confrontation line.

 8             THE WITNESS:  No, the -- some of it is consistent with the

 9     confrontation line, but, no, not the -- I think it represents more of a

10     boundary.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

12             Please proceed, Mr. McCloskey.

13             MR. McCLOSKEY:

14        Q.   All right.  And not to get too picky, but the confrontation line

15     was the boundary in many respects at that point between the RS and the

16     VRS, was it not?

17             JUDGE ORIE:  That's what the witness said a minute ago.

18             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Oh, I don't recall that.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  I think that's what you explained, that they were

20     congruent often but that the grey lines are more than just a

21     confrontation line.

22             THE WITNESS:  That's correct.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Please proceed.

24             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right.  Can we go to page 9 in e-court; map

25     book 06.


Page 9458

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  If it assists you, Mr. McCloskey, page 40, line 25,

 2     "Some of it is consistent with the confrontation line ..."

 3             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  That's where the witness said so.

 5             Please proceed.

 6             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Okay.  If we could -- I'm just waiting for that

 7     to get up in e-court.

 8        Q.   That's the the northern half of that, as we can see in the map

 9     book, which is fine.  Now we have a different graphic.  Can you tell us

10     who -- who created this graphic?

11        A.   This is a combination of our mapping unit providing some of the

12     underlying data, but in 1999, our team consulted with the Dutch

13     Topographic Institute, and they were able to actually create most of the

14     map also using some of the information from Major Dragutinovic's

15     Zvornik Brigade map.

16        Q.   And we don't see it in e-court, but we can see a scale down at

17     the bottom of -- of kilometres.  Is that a scale based on your knowledge

18     of the distances?  Is this a to-scale map?

19        A.   It is to scale, that's correct.

20        Q.   And I think the scale and the other material speaks for itself.

21             MR. McCLOSKEY:  So I think we can go to the next page, page 10 in

22     e-court.

23             MR. IVETIC:  And just for the record, since counsel said it

24     speaks for itself, we maintain an objection to the rest of the material

25     as we do not know what was the base map and what was added by the OTP or


Page 9459

 1     the source for the OTP, and that we do highly dispute the qualifications

 2     of sites as execution sites, as I don't believe any of those are on the

 3     Dragutinovic map that is now being identified as the source for this map.

 4             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right.  We are on page 10 of e-court.

 5        Q.   Is this merely a blowup of the previous map or is it -- what is

 6     it?

 7        A.   No, that's correct.  What's on the screen is the more southern

 8     portion of the -- the same map.

 9        Q.   And there isn't a -- a legend on this particular map, but these

10     red lines that are coming out of Jaglici and Susnjari, what are they

11     supposed to depict?

12        A.   In referring back to the large Zvornik Brigade map created by

13     Major Dragutinovic, it is the movement of the Bosnian Muslim column.

14        Q.   And the green lines?

15        A.   That's the delineation of the Bratunac Brigade.

16        Q.   All right.  And so we can see here that there was not an attempt

17     to try to replicate the colours used by the VRS?

18        A.   No, that's correct.

19             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right.  Let's go to 11 in e-court.

20             JUDGE FLUEGGE:  You should avoid overlapping because it's very

21     difficult for the interpreters, and you see there are some problems in

22     the record.

23             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.  Thank you, Your Honour.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Perhaps in this respect you repeat what was said

25     about the colours of the VRS because that was ... could you have a look


Page 9460

 1     at page 43, line 3, or at least the sequence between line 2 and 4.

 2             I don't know whether anything is missing, but the green lines,

 3     perhaps you could just repeat that.  What do the green lines depict?

 4             THE WITNESS:  The green line represents the border of the

 5     Bratunac Brigade, the word I used there is "delineations."

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And that colour stands for -- the colours of

 7     VRS it reads now?

 8             THE WITNESS:  Right.  I think that Mr. McCloskey had asked

 9     whether the colours represented on the large Zvornik Brigade map were the

10     same or different from the colours on our generated map and they are

11     different.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

13             Mr. McCloskey, please proceed.

14             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you for clearing that up.

15             Now we should go to page 11 in e-court.

16             JUDGE MOLOTO:  Before we do that, Mr. McCloskey, if I might just

17     ask.  Can I be helped as to what 1.pb, 5.pb, 2.pb, mean, et cetera,

18     et cetera?

19             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, and that is in -- that's on your page A8 --

20             JUDGE MOLOTO:  That's correct.

21             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes.  And that's now up on the screen.

22        Q.   Yes, Ms. Gallagher?

23        A.   Those are the Zvornik Brigade battalions, so the 7th Battalion,

24     4th Battalion, 6th Battalion.

25             JUDGE MOLOTO:  Thank you so much.


Page 9461

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  The same ones we saw earlier on the other map in

 2     Cyrillic.

 3             THE WITNESS:  Correct.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 5             JUDGE MOLOTO:  Thank you.

 6             Thank you, Mr. McCloskey.

 7             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, thank you.

 8        Q.   And the areas identified of schools and mass executions, that's

 9     the material set out in the -- in the indictment, in the pre-trial brief

10     from the investigation?

11        A.   That's correct.

12        Q.   All right.  That's the -- that is the last page.  Oh, no it's

13     not, I'm sorry.  There is one more.

14             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And this is on e-court page 12, A9.

15        Q.   We can see two Cyrillic Ss.  Is that -- is this a part of the map

16     that we saw General Krstic noted on, which is now P1085, that had the

17     cross and the four Ss on it, Zepa and Srebrenica?

18        A.   That's correct.  It's a -- a small blown up portion of that same

19     map.

20        Q.   All right.  And here we have noted various IKMs, and at the risk

21     of being a bit redundant, can you tell us what IKM stands for?

22        A.   It's the forward command post and those were the forward command

23     posts of the Drina Corps.

24        Q.   And what operation?

25        A.   This in particular refers to Zepa.


Page 9462

 1        Q.   And where did this information fundamentally come from?  Who?

 2        A.   This would be through the course of the investigation and

 3     something certainly that Rick Butler can explain.

 4        Q.   All right.

 5             MR. McCLOSKEY:  All right, Mr. President.  That is the last page

 6     in dispute, and I would offer the entire book, 65 ter 28747, into

 7     evidence.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic.

 9             MR. IVETIC:  Your Honours, I would not object to sections B and

10     C.  I also would not object to page A01 from the map book and A02 in the

11     map book, but I would object to the remainder of section A from the map

12     book for various reasons, including the fact that the witness has

13     testified that other persons provided the information and has not

14     identified the sources with the degree of detail that would permit the

15     Defence to examine the same.

16             And based upon the fact that as Mr. McCloskey -- well, I don't

17     know if it's the witness's answer, but at page 44, lines 19 through 21,

18     Mr. McCloskey offered in a leading question that the Prosecution was the

19     source of the information, that the indictment and the pre-trial brief

20     was the source of the information.  So we would object at that point in

21     time as well.  If this is being tendered as a demonstrative exhibit that

22     must be used with witnesses who have factual knowledge who can assist the

23     Chamber with understanding things, it cannot be presented into evidence

24     as -- for proof of the matter asserted as being a Prosecution-produced

25     piece; that is, it can only be introduced as a demonstrative exhibit

 


Page 9463

 1     through witnesses with personal factual knowledge about the material.

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Ivetic, for you also, please slow down in your

 3     speech.

 4             MR. IVETIC:  I apologise.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  But you do not oppose against the use of those other

 6     maps for other purposes just because they present, I take it, more or

 7     less, the position of the Prosecution about what happened where and ...

 8             MR. IVETIC:  If they have other witnesses who can provide

 9     information, then perhaps the accused and this witness cannot.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  We'll consider the matter.  But it's clear now that

11     for A1 and A2 and for sections B and C, there's no objection, so it's

12     likely, Mr. McCloskey, that the Chamber will decide to admit those.  But

13     we have to see what to do with the other ones and whether to do it in one

14     bunch, because we have one or two already in evidence as separate maps at

15     this moment, isn't it?

16             MR. McCLOSKEY:  And, Mr. President, I --

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Three already, yes.

18             MR. McCLOSKEY:  I would just point out I believe that a very

19     similar map for Sarajevo, P3, is in evidence, and for consistency's sake,

20     I would just point that out.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Now, Mr. McCloskey, if you want to be consistent,

22     that's appreciated, but to say the other party should be consistent is --

23     we leave that to the parties.

24             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.  And --

25                           [Trial Chamber confers]


Page 9464

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  For the time being we'll MFI the whole binder.

 2             Madam Registrar, the --

 3             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, 65 ter 28747 will be P1087

 4     [Realtime transcript read in error "P0187"], marked for identification.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  And keeps that status for the time being.

 6             Mr. McCloskey, these were all your questions.  I think

 7     cross-examination is delayed, Mr. Ivetic.

 8             Which means, Ms. Gallagher, that this is not the conclusion of

 9     your testimony.  I also have to instruct you that you should not speak in

10     any way even -- yes, that that's -- Mr. McCloskey, I'm not saying not to

11     speak with but about your testimony.  That's what I wanted to say.  Of

12     course this is not to say that you're paralysed in your work, you cannot

13     speak anymore, but you should be very cautious and careful not to discuss

14     any issue that arose during your testimony here or any matter

15     specifically related to those maps, and that certainly I would say even

16     would be more true for those who are appearing as counsel or are directly

17     assisting counsel in this courtroom in this case.

18             I can imagine that it's a bit uncomfortable.  But that is, to

19     some extent, the consequence of the offer to lead the evidence in chief

20     and then to delay the cross-examination.

21             At the same time, Mr. Ivetic, I think the sooner

22     cross-examination could start, the better it would be to not

23     unnecessarily hinder Ms. Gallagher in her performance of her duties.

24             Is this clear?  It's a bit longer instruction than I usually

25     give, but -- Mr. Ivetic.


Page 9465

 1             MR. IVETIC:  That's fine, Your Honours.  As a matter of fact, I

 2     would suggest any time in the first week following the break in

 3     proceedings would be appropriate for Ms. Gallagher to return.  I don't

 4     know what the scheduling of the other witnesses is, but if there is a

 5     time-period there, I would be agreeable to have her come back and be the

 6     next or one of the first witnesses thereafter.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 8             Mr. McCloskey, we don't have to decide this immediately, but if

 9     you could agree with the Defence on when Ms. Gallagher will be called for

10     cross-examination, that would be ...

11             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, Mr. President.  We -- we need to call

12     Mr. Ruez on April 8th, but after that we'll work on a good time to put in

13     Ms. Gallagher soon thereafter, and he'll probably buy me a coffee and

14     we'll work that out.

15             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And let's not leave it to just an offer, but

16     let's -- please do drink that coffee as well.

17             Then, Ms. Gallagher, with this instruction you are excused for

18     the time being and you may follow the usher.

19             THE WITNESS:  Thank you.

20                           [The witness stands down]

21             JUDGE FLUEGGE:  May I put on the record that the last P number is

22     incorrectly recorded at line 11 of page 47.  It should be P1087.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  That's hereby corrected.

24             Then we'll move on with -- Mr. McCloskey, you want to perform

25     your duties elsewhere?

 


Page 9466

 1             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Yes, thank you.  I also forgot to mention, we do

 2     have copies of that map and the map with General Mladic's name on it for

 3     anyone that would like them.  The Defence has them.  If Your Honours

 4     would like them, we have them available.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  You mean at this size?

 6             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Not quite that big.  And they are folded.  They

 7     are just right over here.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I don't know what the size is and whether I

 9     can carry them, but it's appreciated if you give them to the usher so

10     that --

11             MR. IVETIC:  And if possible, could we have one for Mr. Mladic as

12     well.  I have one copy, I'm told, at the Defence side, so if we could

13     have one hard copy for General Mladic to have for his review in the UNDU.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  I think there was one copy for Mr. Mladic.

15             Dealing with some administrative matters.  I don't know,

16     Mr. McCloskey, whether this you are -- whether this is your cup of coffee

17     as well, but --

18             MR. McCLOSKEY:  Thank you.  I'm ready to go --

19             JUDGE ORIE:  I'm not --

20             MR. McCLOSKEY:  -- Mr. President.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  I'm not expelling you in any way, but it might not

22     be very interesting if you are not directly involved in the matter.

23             MR. McCLOSKEY:  That's much appreciated.  Thank you.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Then, Ms. Hochhauser, one of the things that were

25     not on the list is the follow-up of yesterday's.


Page 9467

 1             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, that's just because the e-mail was

 2     sent previous to that.

 3             Mr. Traldi is available to come down whenever Your Honours would

 4     like to proceed with that argument.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  I think that we would like to deal with that as

 6     well.  Let's then start.  And could you please, Ms. Hochhauser, introduce

 7     the matters.  We have a lot of numbers now.  One of the staff members who

 8     was best -- who is most knowledgeable about all these matters was not

 9     available today to us, so if you would just briefly introduce the few

10     matters.  Some of them are clearly on our mind, but others may be less on

11     our mind.

12             Let's start with the -- and that's not with numbers, that the

13     Mladic Defence has undertaken to provide cross-examination estimates for

14     the first several weeks in April.  It now reads "once that's done," but I

15     do understand that it was done, that the scheduling can be finalised.

16     And whether there is any schedule matter the Chamber should address.

17             We have not received the final estimates?

18             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, I believe we sent out yesterday

19     the -- our finalised schedule with -- inclusive of the Defence estimates.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then we'll have a look at it.  And since we'll

21     not sit for almost a month, we might communicate with the parties on

22     matters of concern in an informal way, and then ...

23                           [Trial Chamber confers]

24             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, we'll not in any way comment on it at this very

25     moment but first have a careful look at it.


Page 9468

 1             Then the next one is about a number of MFIs in relation to

 2     witness Martin Bell.

 3             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honours, those -- those exhibits were MFI'd

 4     pursuant to the Chamber's oral decision on 31 -- pursuant at -- sorry, at

 5     transcript page 7761, line 21.  That refers to seven -- seven video-clips

 6     played in court with Martin Bell, and they were pending CLSS review of

 7     the transcript.

 8             Those -- that review has been completed and those transcripts

 9     have been uploaded, and so if the Registrar could then replace the

10     existing transcripts, the MFI designation could be removed.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  There were no other matters in relation to

12     that.

13             Madam Registrar, Exhibits P834, P835, P836, P837, P838, P839, and

14     P841 are admitted.  Therefore, their status changes from MFI in exhibit.

15             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, the status will be changed.  I

16     would just appreciate if counsel could communicate the new ERN numbers

17     for the translations.  Thank you.

18             JUDGE ORIE:  So that they can be attached to the present MFI

19     numbers.

20             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  That's being sent by e-mail now.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  A copy has been sent to the Defence so as to have an

22     opportunity to verify the accuracy of the communication.

23             If not, there is still a possibility to copy the Defence on it so

24     that it's --

25             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  We'll see that it's done.


Page 9469

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  -- it's fully transparent.

 2             Then the next one is about the Witness Edin Suljic, Exhibit P957,

 3     and 65 ter number 28605.  You are waiting for a decision, I think?  Is

 4     that?

 5             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Well, on 65 ter 28605, this was a set of

 6     photographs where the Chamber directed that it be re-uploaded with only

 7     the actual photographs that were shown to the witness during court.  That

 8     has been done.  It's uploaded as 28605A.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

10             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  And so I believe that those can now be admitted.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  And P957?

12             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  P957, Your Honour, is the actual statement of

13     witness Edin Suljic.  The Defence raised an objection to the admission of

14     the testimony, and I can recall, Mr. Ivetic sent an e-mail on 15 February

15     highlighting a portion of the transcript on which his objections were

16     based, pointing to the transcript at pages 8771 to 8773.

17             I didn't know whether the Chamber sought more information from

18     the Prosecution or a response from the Prosecution.  I can provide what

19     our response would be, but otherwise, yes, we were just --

20             JUDGE ORIE:  I think the Chamber is preparing a decision on that.

21             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Okay.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  But 65 ter 28605A, now the reduced series of

23     photographs, there are no objections against it.

24             MR. LUKIC:  No objections.  We didn't have objections on these

25     photos at that time either.


Page 9470

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, Madam Registrar, 65 ter 28605A will now receive

 2     number?

 3             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, that will be P01088.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  And is admitted into evidence.

 5             Next one, Exhibit P143 in relation to Witness RM010.

 6             Ms. Hochhauser.

 7             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  This is just a small administrative change,

 8     Your Honour, but in looking back at the transcript, we saw that the

 9     Chamber requested a change in the description of this exhibit based on a

10     later witness's testimony, but I don't think that we are able to effect

11     that, that it would need to be done by the Registry at this point.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Have you suggested a new description or?

13             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Yes, Your Honour.  If you give me one moment --

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

15             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  -- I can just look here what that was.

16             The adjusted description should read:

17             "Video showing the exhumation of mass grave," and then I'll spell

18     the next two words, C-r-v-e-n-a, new word, Z-e-m-l-j-a, and then in a

19     parenthesis "red earth," end parenthesis, "dated 11 October 1996."

20             JUDGE ORIE:  There are no objections against this new

21     description, Mr. Stojanovic.

22             MR. STOJANOVIC: [Interpretation] No objections, Your Honour.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Madam Registrar, you are invited to change the

24     description in e-court.

25             Next one is Exhibit D49 in relation to Witness RM067.


Page 9471

 1             Ms. Hochhauser.

 2             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honours, I believe that this is a

 3     translation that needed verification and we have done that.  It's been

 4     provided to the Defence.  But I believe it's the Defence that needs to

 5     then upload it since it's a D exhibit, but I just wanted to alert that it

 6     has been done and provided.

 7             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Stojanovic, has the translation as provided by

 8     the Prosecution been uploaded so that it can be attached?

 9             MR. STOJANOVIC: [Interpretation] Your Honours, I need to check

10     whether it's been uploaded.  However, in preparation for today's session,

11     we established that this document has already been admitted into evidence

12     on page 2838.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  That apparently is not the problem.  I could check

14     whether a translation is already attached.  I suppose it is because

15     otherwise it should have been MFI'd instead of being admitted.

16             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  I'm sorry, Your Honour, the transcript reference

17     that I have is - for Your Honour's instruction - is at 2845, so I think

18     it came later in the testimony.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Let's first have a look at what is now in e-court.

20             We have in e-court a statement and we have in e-court also a

21     translation into English.  Now, the question may arise whether this is

22     the translation as has now been presented or reviewed.  Apparently there

23     is a new translation or is this already the new translation, which would

24     surprise me because then there should be no issue.

25                           [Trial Chamber confers]


Page 9472

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Stojanovic, you can't tell us at this moment

 2     whether this is an old or a new translation?

 3             MR. STOJANOVIC: [Interpretation] No, Your Honours, but I will do

 4     my best to take care of that immediately.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Madam Registrar, could you tell us when this

 6     translation was uploaded?  Whether it was at the same time when the

 7     original was uploaded or at any later point in time?

 8             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, from what I can see in the e-court

 9     record, on 11 October 2012, the Prosecution informed the parties and the

10     Registry that a revised translation of the exhibit was received.  And

11     subsequently, on 7 November 2012, the Chamber instructed the Registry to

12     upload and connect the revised version of the translation to the exhibit

13     once informed by the party of the document.

14             So from the Registry record, Your Honour, I think the translation

15     has already been linked.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Well, unless there is any mistake here and that we

17     need another translation, we'll consider the matter to have been dealt

18     with --

19             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Yes, I'll --

20             JUDGE ORIE:  -- Ms. Hochhauser.

21             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  -- check again.  Thank you.

22             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

23             Then we have a long series of MFI numbers in relation to

24     Witness RM138.  Could you introduce that matter, Ms. Hochhauser.

25             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Yes, my understanding is that these exhibits


Page 9473

 1     were tendered through the witness and that the Chamber suggested that the

 2     Prosecution provide the Registrar with a list with the 24 65 ter numbers

 3     and that the Registrar would provide provisional P numbers and the

 4     Chamber would then decide on admission.

 5             We are not aware of any objection from the Defence to these

 6     exhibits, so in the absence -- I see --

 7             MR. STOJANOVIC: [Interpretation] No, Your Honours.  Not after

 8     this.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  There are no objections.  Then I'll go through them

10     one by one.

11             Documents, until now MFI'd, P693, 694, 695, 696, 697, 698, 699,

12     700, 701, 702, 703, 704, 705, 706, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712, 713,

13     714, 715, and 716 are admitted into evidence.

14             If I would have looked better, I would have said 693 up to and

15     including 716.  Apologies for that.

16             Next one in relation to Witness RM055, in relation to

17     Exhibit P750.

18             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Yes, Your Honours.  P750 is the table of

19     clarifications that was related to this witness's witness statement.  If

20     Your Honours would recall, there has been a series of e-mails about --

21     about this exhibit, and I understood from the last e-mail that the

22     Defence had raised an objection based on the verification of the

23     French-English translation.

24             The Chamber's e-mail requested a suggestion -- requested the

25     Prosecution suggest what the next procedure should be, and we e-mailed


Page 9474

 1     back requesting information specifically from the Defence as to which

 2     portions of the table of clarifications needed -- needed verification,

 3     and then we would seek that.  And that is because the table does not

 4     purport to be, for the most part, actual direct translations from English

 5     to French and vice versa.  It contains French corrections to the French

 6     version of the statement and English corrections to the English version

 7     of the statement.

 8             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Lukic.

 9             MR. LUKIC:  We also checked it later on more thoroughly and we do

10     not have objections anymore.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  P750 is admitted into evidence.

12             Then the next item, the exhibits related to the testimony of

13     Ekrem Suljevic.

14             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Actually, before Mr. Weber rises to address

15     that, Your Honour, I could also add that there's been -- I recently sent

16     an e-mail to the Chamber regarding another exhibit to -- regarding,

17     sorry, RM055's final outstanding exhibit, and that is 65 ter 05746, and

18     the parties have agreed that that -- that exhibit can be admitted.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  If the parties agree on that, the Chamber has no

20     reason to deny admission.

21             Has a P number already been assigned?  Not yet.

22             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  No, it had not.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Madam Registrar, 65 ter 05746 receives number?

24             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, that would be P1089.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  P1089 is admitted into evidence, and we strike from


Page 9475

 1     our list the last item which related to the same document.

 2             Exhibits related to the testimony of Ekrem Suljevic.

 3             Mr. Weber, there were many exhibits related to that witness.

 4             MR. WEBER:  Good afternoon, Your Honours, and thank you just for

 5     allowing us some time to recap the remaining issues from the testimony of

 6     Mr. Suljevic.  There are three outstanding issues from this testimony.

 7             The first one, the Prosecution re-tendered P889, which was the

 8     statement of the witness, with additional unredacted portions

 9     corresponding to topics addressed by the Defence during its

10     cross-examination.

11             The second issue is --

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Shall we deal with that one?

13             MR. WEBER:  I --

14             JUDGE ORIE:  -- first or is it related to the other ones?

15             MR. WEBER:  It may be in part at least related to the second one.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.

17             MR. WEBER:  The second issue was the associated exhibits to P889.

18     There are a total of 19 including the now unredacted parts of the

19     re-tendered exhibit.  These are not yet marked for identification, so the

20     Prosecution just wanted to again put it on the record that these were

21     something that we had tendered.

22             At transcript page 8588, the Trial Chamber did say that it would

23     first -- that it would further consider these first two matters.  So the

24     Prosecution is able to address these matters here today and go through

25     them if it's something that the Chamber would like to resolve.


Page 9476

 1             The third issue is the comment chart marked for identification as

 2     P890 and the documents commented upon by the witness in the chart.  These

 3     are P891 and P929, marked for identification, and I believe Your Honours

 4     referenced this earlier today.  The Prosecution did provide a chart to

 5     the Defence for them to provide their comments on the 11th of February.

 6     We have not yet received that back.  With respect to this, we'd simply

 7     ask the Chamber to set a dead-line for the Defence to provide us with the

 8     comment chart so we can actually formally file a submission on the

 9     comment chart and the related documents.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then perhaps we start with the statement of

11     the witness first.

12             Redacted version, any objection?

13             MR. LUKIC:  Actually, unredacted.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Unredacted.  Yes.  Yes.  The redacted -- some of the

15     redactions are --

16             MR. LUKIC:  Removed.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  -- removed, yes.

18             MR. LUKIC:  No objections on that.  No objections on that part.

19     We really checked and I did open the door for this unredacted part to

20     come into the evidence.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then the new -- it has been uploaded under a

22     new 65 ter exhibit number, Mr. Weber.

23             MR. WEBER:  That's correct, Your Honour.  At this time the

24     Prosecution re-tenders 65 ter 28668B, as in "boy."

25             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.


Page 9477

 1             THE INTERPRETER:  Kindly slow down for the interpreters.  Thank

 2     you very much.

 3             MR. WEBER:  As Exhibit P889.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 5             Madam Registrar, has 28668B [Realtime transcript read in error

 6     "2866B"] been uploaded so that you can replace the same number without

 7     the B with now the number with the B?

 8             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours, indeed, 28668B is available in

 9     e-court and will be replaced.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  I think I said "28668B," therefore page 60,

11     line 9, and the same problem arose in line 11, should be corrected and it

12     hereby is put on the record.

13             Now as far as the associated exhibits are concerned, they have

14     not yet been given a number.  There were 19, the one we just dealt with

15     included, Mr. Weber, not included?

16             Mr. Lukic, objections to any of the 19, and if so, which ones so

17     that Mr. Weber --

18             MR. LUKIC:  Objections to all of them.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  To all of them.

20             MR. LUKIC:  Yes.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  That's easy.

22             MR. LUKIC:  Yes.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Well, at least it's simple and straight-forward.

24             The reason for the objection being?

25             MR. LUKIC:  Since those documents were not integral or


Page 9478

 1     indispensable to the written statement, the witness neither authored nor

 2     received nor saw those documents during the time-period where -- and he

 3     has no personal knowledge of the documents whatsoever.  He does not have

 4     a personal knowledge of a single document enumerated on this list.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

 6             MR. LUKIC:  We have more but --

 7                           [Trial Chamber confers]

 8             MR. LUKIC:  Sorry.  He is not even in the position to properly

 9     authenticate the documents because he has no knowledge of any of those

10     documents whatsoever.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  So I do understand that the main reasons for

12     your objection is that whatever these documents are, they are not

13     suitably be admitted through this witness?

14             MR. LUKIC:  Yes, Your Honour.

15                           [Trial Chamber confers]

16             JUDGE ORIE:  In view of the present situation, Mr. Weber, I

17     cannot verify at this very moment whether I have all the 65 ter numbers

18     ready, which selection.  If you would have a list, then we'll first look

19     at the documents and then decide whether it's of any use to assign

20     numbers to them or not.

21             MR. WEBER:  Yes, Your Honour.  I can again provide the list.  We

22     would at least that they be marked for identification.

23             And if I could just note for the record, just so it's on the

24     record, that 11 of the 19 documents are documents that were either

25     drafted by the witness or directly involved investigations that he was


Page 9479

 1     part of, so he does have direct personal knowledge of them.  So I don't

 2     know whether Mr. Lukic would be willing to reconsider his position.  I am

 3     happy to at least read in what those documents would be, one by one, and

 4     then further address the eight remaining.  However the Chamber would

 5     like.

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Mr. Lukic, you're invited to closer look at the

 7     documents and -- I suggest the following:  You provide the Chamber with

 8     the list of 19.  We'll not mark them for identification at this very

 9     moment.  Mr. Lukic will informally communicate with the Chamber within

10     one week from now - would that be reasonable, Mr. Lukic? - whether your

11     position that you object to all of them stands or whether there are

12     exceptions.  The Chamber will then also look at the documents, will look

13     at any further information provided by Mr. Lukic, and then we may - I am

14     not saying we will - we may already invite Madam Registrar to

15     provisionally assign numbers to them and deal with admission thereafter.

16             MR. WEBER:  Yes, Your Honour.  And then the Prosecution remains

17     available to address any further matters with respect to all

18     19 documents.

19                           [Trial Chamber confers]

20             JUDGE ORIE:  As you'll understand, whether we'll ask the

21     Registrar to provisionally assign numbers may depend on after having

22     reviewed the documents whether we expect that we would admit them.

23             Having dealt with that, the Chamber would be happy to receive

24     through Chamber staff the list of 19.

25             MR. WEBER:  I do have a list.


Page 9480

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Well --

 2             MR. WEBER:  I have multiple copies of the list

 3     available [overlapping speakers] ...

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  We are not going to read them at this moment.

 5     But if you would give three or four copies to Chamber staff, then that

 6     would be appreciated.

 7             Next one, expert report on --

 8             MR. WEBER:  Your Honour, I'm sorry to interrupt you.  But there

 9     was the third matter.  We were just asking if we could have a dead-line

10     set --

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

12             MR. WEBER: -- for the comment chart and the [overlapping

13     speakers] ...

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, I had forgotten that you -- you're not seeking

15     a decision yet, but, Mr. Lukic --

16             MR. LUKIC:  Obviously I --

17             JUDGE ORIE:  -- for P890 --

18             MR. LUKIC:  For the record, just maybe I mixed.  There were two

19     statements and actually the second one, I was addressing the second one,

20     and Mr. Weber is addressing this one as a comment chart.  So now I stand

21     corrected in regard of the first statement, since there might be some

22     documents we can accept but it's better to do in writing.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  Then I suggest the following:  The only

24     decision that has been taken at this moment was about P889.  That is

25     admitted in its new version.  If you mixed up anything as far as


Page 9481

 1     associated exhibits are concerned, please, coffee or tea, I leave it to

 2     you, with Mr. Weber, try to find out whether all your objections stand,

 3     because that's where we were anyhow.  We have a list of 19 and we'll hear

 4     from you whether it changes or whether your discussions with Mr. Weber

 5     changes anything.  And apart from that, you're invited to give your

 6     comments on the other document.

 7             If you have done so already, then there is no need to put a

 8     dead-line if -- but that could be part of your coffee discussion as well,

 9     I take it.

10             MR. LUKIC:  Thank you, Your Honour.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Then we leave it -- that in the hands of the

12     parties.

13             Next one, expert report 65 ter 28541, Patrick Van der Weijden.

14             Ms. Hochhauser.

15             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, the Prosecution just sought to know

16     from the Chamber whether it was wanting any additional arguments or

17     anything --

18             JUDGE ORIE:  No, I think that the Chamber is preparing a decision

19     on the matter and is not seeking at this moment any additional argument.

20             Next one, the map agreed by the Prosecution and Defence with

21     respect to the location of the incident in Geteova Street 12, which was

22     discussed, Mr. Shin, when Mr. Brennskag testified.

23             MR. SHIN:  Thank you.  Good afternoon, Your Honours.  And good

24     afternoon, counsel.

25             At the Chamber's request, I did meet with Mr. Stojanovic, and we


Page 9482

 1     agreed to mark -- we agreed on a map that shows where the approximate

 2     location of that incident was, and I just wanted to briefly explain how

 3     the map should be read.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Could we then have it our screen --

 5             MR. SHIN:  Yes.  Could I have 65 ter 28754, please.

 6             THE INTERPRETER:  Yes, once again, the interpreters are kindly

 7     asking the parties to slow down.  There are many numbers.  Please slow

 8     down, thank you.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  We admire you for not being lost far earlier.

10             Please proceed.

11             MR. SHIN:  Yes.  And slowly, I will proceed.  This 65 ter shows

12     two maps, two pages.  If we could go to the second page on e-court first,

13     please.

14             Now on this map we can see to the right of the G6 a blue circle

15     which, as the legend in that box in the lower right-hand corner shows,

16     marks the approximate location of that projectile's impact.

17             If I could then please go back to the first page.  There is

18     actually a blue circle in that same place indicating the same.  You may

19     need to zoom in to be able to see it, but it's -- this map will provide

20     the context within which you may be able to look at that at that second

21     page.  We do note that, as agreed with Defence counsel, this shows the

22     approximate location of the impact.

23             The more precise location, Your Honours may wish to take a look

24     at D240, particularly pages 15 and 16 of the B/C/S version.  And if I

25     could please have D240 brought up on e-court.


Page 9483

 1             Pages 15 and 16 together constitute two halves of a diagram

 2     that -- that indicate the more precise location of the impact, and I just

 3     note that on page 16 Your Honours will see at the bottom the S which I

 4     understand to mean "north" in B/C/S, so for some map readers this map may

 5     be upside down.

 6             In addition, Your Honours may wish also to refer to P993, which

 7     we do not need on e-court, but those are the photographs accompanying

 8     this -- photographs -- I'm sorry, photographs that are relevant for this

 9     site, and the photographs also show more precisely the -- the context in

10     which the impact occurs.

11             And finally I would note that on the same D240 --

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Could I ask --

13             MR. SHIN:  Yes.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  -- do I understand that the arrow with the S points

15     in northerly direction.

16             MR. SHIN:  Yes.  My understanding is that S stands for "sjever"

17     or "sever" and this is "north" in B/C/S.  This is the B/C/S version we

18     are looking at.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And just for me to know for sure that I fully

20     understand, could we go back to the map you agreed upon.  The detailed

21     map of the location. [Overlapping speakers] ...

22             MR. SHIN:  Page 2 please.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Page 2.

24             Yes.  I therefore do understand that where this road which is

25     indicated by Geteova bends, that that is the same bend as we saw on the


Page 9484

 1     other one but just opposite direction, 130 degrees different.

 2             MR. SHIN:  Yes.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Because I do understand that this map shows north

 4     above, perhaps not exactly but almost completely to the top of the map.

 5     Is that the situation then?  I think I understand it.

 6             Yes.

 7             MR. SHIN:  Yes.  Thank you, Your Honours.  And just one final

 8     point, with regards to D240, which we don't need on e-court, there is

 9     also at page 14 of the B/C/S and page 12 of the English a more detailed

10     legend for that diagram, that two-page diagram, which indicates what

11     those numbers on the diagram mean and which show the precise location of

12     the impact.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And that's all on D240 which is admitted, I

14     think.  Is that --

15             MR. SHIN:  Yes, that's correct.

16             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  So therefore the only thing we now have to

17     admit is the new two-page document uploaded, the broader and the more

18     detailed map indicating the location of the impact of G6.

19             MR. SHIN:  That's correct, Your Honours.  And if I may just point

20     out that these two pages do come from exhibit -- the underlying maps are

21     from Exhibit P3 and they constitute pages -- e-court page 37 and e-court

22     page 6 from that exhibit, plus, of course, the markings that we

23     discussed.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  They looked very familiar to the Chamber.

25             Madam Registrar.

 


Page 9485

 1             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honour, 65 ter 28754 will receive number

 2     P1090.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  And is admitted into evidence.

 4             MR. SHIN:  Thank you, Your Honour.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Then, Ms. Hochhauser.

 6             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, if I might just go back for a

 7     moment to number 5 on the list, which was D49, in regard to

 8     Witness RM067.  I think we still have some dispute over whether the

 9     transcript currently uploaded is the most recent one.  We've sent an

10     e-mail to Defence, Chambers and Registry with the -- what we believe

11     should be the correct transcript.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  That's hereby on the record and we don't need to

13     further deal or decide with it at this moment.

14             Then one of the outstanding matters, Mr. Traldi, were a long list

15     of exhibits or not exhibits, depending on what you discussed over tea or

16     coffee.

17             MR. TRALDI:  Yes, Your Honour, and I'd suggest we discuss this in

18     closed session.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  We discuss it in closed session.

20             We turn into closed session.  Would private do under the

21     circumstances, Mr. Traldi?

11                           [Open session]

12             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, we are back in open session.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

14             I have a few items to deal with.  The first is D44, which was

15     MFI'd with Witness Vulliamy.  Per e-mail of the 25th of January, 2013,

16     the Chamber inquired from the Defence whether it still intends to tender

17     D44, and if so, when the Chamber can expect the transcripts of the video

18     in question, as well as the position of the Prosecution, and we have not

19     yet received a response, I think.  It's the video.  You certainly will

20     remember, "The Way to Omarska," I think it was.

21             MR. LUKIC:  I have to admit that it escaped our attention,

22     Your Honour.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Okay.  Then we'll hear from you.  Will you please

24     come back to it as soon as possible.

25             MR. LUKIC:  Yes, thank you.

 


Page 9501

 1             JUDGE ORIE:  Then I'll move on.

 2             D184, marked for identification.  It was marked for

 3     identification on the 18th of February, pending submission by the Defence

 4     of a complete translation in English.  The Defence notified the Chamber

 5     that a complete translation is now uploaded in e-court as 1D02-3256, and

 6     the Defence seeks to leave to replace the version currently in e-court

 7     with the complete translation.

 8             On the 26th of February, the Prosecution informed the Chamber

 9     that it does not object to this replacement.

10             Therefore, Madam Registrar, you are hereby instructed to replace

11     doc ID R106-8801-1 with the complete translation, and D184 is admitted

12     into evidence with this complete translation.

13             Next, D65 MFI'd, also a missing translation, was marked for

14     identification through Witness Husein Aly Abdel-Razek, due to the lack of

15     a final translation - I refer to transcript page 3661 - and admitted into

16     evidence on the 10th of December as the awaited translation had already

17     been received, transcript page 5994.

18             The Chamber notes the request of the Defence sent via an informal

19     communication on the 20th of February, 2013, to replace the English

20     translation of D65, as it is currently in e-court, with doc 1D00-6282

21     with another English translation with doc ID 1D02-3138.

22             Is there any objections from the Prosecution to a -- I take it to

23     replace it by a better translation, Mr. Lukic?  Or if you would like to

24     check first.

25             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Is it a translation that -- that is from CLSS?


Page 9502

 1             MR. LUKIC:  Yes, from the CLSS.

 2             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Okay.  Then I don't have an objection to its

 3     replacement.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Then, Madam Registrar, the new translation of which

 5     I just read out the number may replace the old one in D65 and you are

 6     instructed to replace it.

 7             May I take it that that was uploaded already?

 8             MR. LUKIC:  I was informed that it has been uploaded already,

 9     Your Honour.

10             JUDGE ORIE:  Madam Registrar, could you confirm that

11     1D02-3138 ...

12             THE REGISTRAR:  Yes, Your Honours.  The translation is available

13     in e-court.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Then it may replace the old one.

15             Then I move to the next one on my list.  D113, which was MFI'd

16     during the testimony of Witness RM163 on the 12th of December due to a

17     reservation by the Chamber to verify whether a handwritten original

18     exists and if there are earlier or later entries into the log-book.

19             In an e-mail of the 22nd of February of this year, the

20     Prosecution notified that it was unable to find any indication with

21     regard to an underlying handwritten version and that it doesn't possess

22     any other entries into the log-book.  It submits that the document was

23     obtained from the UNPF in Zagreb on the 27th of August, 1996, and that it

24     does not contest the authenticity of D113.

25             Since the Prosecution, as indicated before, has no objection to


Page 9503

 1     the admission, the Chamber admits D113 into evidence.

 2             I move on to the next item.  The Defence has requested delays,

 3     extensions of time, for responses to 92 bis motions.  I think it's

 4     standing procedure that the Prosecution does not object to that, and

 5     therefore the Chamber allows an extension of 30 days for the 14th

 6     Rule 92 bis motion; 15 days for the 15th motion; 60 days for the

 7     17th motion; and finally, 45 days for the 17th Rule 92 bis motion.

 8             I think I misspoke.  Yes.  It was 60 days for the 16th motion.

 9     Apologies for that.

10             Then we move onto the next item.  The Defence has sent an e-mail

11     on the 22nd of February informing the Chamber, as it was instructed on

12     the 18th of February, as to when it would anticipate being in the

13     position to file its Rule 94 bis (B) notice to the Prosecution's notice

14     of disclosure of expert reports by six forensic witnesses.

15             The Defence submits that the forensic expert appointed by the

16     Registry will need at least 60 days to review the report.

17             Now, Mr. Lukic, does the Chamber understand correctly that the

18     Defence is requesting to submit its notice 60 days from the date of the

19     disclosure of -- or date of the -- of the e-mail?  Which one?

20             MR. LUKIC:  But there are some new developments, actually, we

21     tried to solve with the Prosecution, Your Honour.  We notified that there

22     are some missing translations -- actually, not some, several, of the

23     reports.  And our experts in Serbia cannot work without those

24     translations, so I think it was sent yesterday.

25             JUDGE ORIE:  Then I suggest that the Chamber hears within a week


Page 9504

 1     from the parties.

 2             Mr. Lukic, it may be clear to you that the Chamber would like to

 3     know whether it's from the date of your e-mail.  I take it that your --

 4             MR. LUKIC:  At that time --

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  -- experts can start working already, even if they

 6     have not all the material.  So therefore -- but at the same time, the

 7     Chamber will consider any further shortcomings or flaws in the way in

 8     which the material was presented to the extent it has such an effect that

 9     you would need more time.

10             Mr. Traldi, Ms. Hochhauser, any further comments?

11             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  No, Your Honour.  We are in possession of the

12     e-mail and we'll take a look at -- take a look at it and refer back to

13     you.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  And then the Chamber - whatever the outcome of

15     this is, and the Chamber would like to be informed about it - then the

16     Chamber would also like to be informed about whether 60 days from the

17     date on which the e-mail was sent should be sufficient.

18             MR. LUKIC:  We will do so, Your Honour.

19             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you.

20             And then the Chamber might informally communicate its decision

21     and then put it on the record later.

22             Military lexicon.  The Chamber was informed in e-mails sent by

23     the Defence on the 22nd of February that upon review of the revised

24     military lexicon under Rule 65 ter number 28687, it has no objections to

25     its admission.


Page 9505

 1             Therefore, Madam Registrar, 65 ter 28687 would receive number?

 2             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, 65 ter 28687 will be P1097.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  P1097 is admitted into evidence.

 4             I move on to my next item.  In court on the 18th of February, the

 5     Prosecution informed the Chamber of its intention to use the upcoming

 6     court adjournment to prepare and file bar table motions concerning crimes

 7     related to the municipalities and the siege of Sarajevo components of its

 8     case, requesting the Chamber to allow for such filings in apparent

 9     deviation from its guidance with respect to the timing of bar table

10     motions.

11             Through informal communication on the 22nd of February, the

12     Defence informed the Chamber that it objected to the timing of such bar

13     table motions, adding that, in accordance with the Chamber's guidance,

14     any such filings should be made at the end of the case and that it does

15     not have the capacity to deal with such motions during trial.

16             The Trial Chamber -- the Chamber takes this opportunity to remind

17     the parties that the guidance referred in fact permits the submission of

18     bar table motions at the close of the presentation of individual

19     components of the case as long as they comply with the Chamber's general

20     guidance on bar table submissions.  The parties can find this guidance at

21     transcript pages 234 up to 236.

22             And the Prosecution request to file the relevant bar table

23     motions is therefore moot.

24             We briefly move into private session.

25                           [Private session]

15                           [Open session]

16             THE REGISTRAR:  Your Honours, we are back in open session.

17             JUDGE ORIE:  Thank you, Madam Registrar.

18             On the 14th of February of this year, at transcript page 8621,

19     the Chamber reminded the Defence to make submissions regarding

20     Exhibits P802 to 805, four documents that were MFI'd during the testimony

21     of Witness Rupert Smith on the 24th of January, 2013.

22             The Defence was again reminded through an informal communication

23     sent on the 18th of February, 2013, in which the Chamber requested the

24     Defence to make oral submissions in court by the 22nd of February, 2013.

25     No submissions have yet been received.

 


Page 9507

 1             Mr. Lukic, any explanation for this course of events?

 2             MR. LUKIC:  I will just -- I was trying to inquire about the

 3     issue, and my colleague Ivetic told me that actually we are waiting for

 4     the Prosecution to file bar table and then we will respond.

 5             JUDGE ORIE:  Ms. Hochhauser.

 6             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  Your Honour, I don't have specific information

 7     about communications that Mr. Lukic or his team may have had with

 8     Mr. Groome, and so I can't confirm or deny, but I would suggest that I

 9     will send an e-mail on the topic when Mr. Groome returns.

10                           [Trial Chamber confers]

11             JUDGE ORIE:  It is -- Mr. Lukic, numbers have been assigned

12     already which would not be the case if we were still waiting for a bar

13     table submission, I think, unless it was that they were tendered and that

14     the discussion -- but my recollection doesn't serve me well at this

15     moment whether it would not be preferable to have them bar tabled in

16     relation to this witness rather than to have them admitted through that

17     witness.

18             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  It's been -- it's been pointed out to me that

19     there were some documents that were bar tabled at the time that the

20     witness was testifying or offered orally through the bar table in court.

21             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, I can imagine --

22             MS. HOCHHAUSER:  And that may be the case with these documents.

23             JUDGE ORIE:  Sometimes there is an objection against a document

24     being admitted through that witness and then sometimes oral bar table

25     applications are made, and I think that might have been the case here.


Page 9508

 1     And then we are still waiting for any responses to those applications to

 2     have them admitted, even if not through that witness.

 3             MR. LUKIC:  Obviously I -- I didn't understand properly at the

 4     time.  I was thinking about -- I was waiting for a written bar table

 5     but --

 6             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 7             MR. LUKIC:  -- if we can get a couple of additional days so we

 8     can respond.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  One week, would that do?

10             MR. LUKIC:  Yes.  Thank you.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then we'll hear from you in one week.

12             MR. LUKIC:  Thank you, Your Honour.

13             JUDGE ORIE:  Finally, the last item on my agenda is the one I had

14     stricken because it was dealt with already.  Therefore, the previous one

15     was the last one.

16             Any further matter to be raised by the parties before we have a

17     period of non-sitting, a relatively long period of non-sitting?

18             MR. TRALDI:  Just, Your Honour, last Thursday, during the

19     testimony of RM045, and I believe it's at transcript page 9157, Mr. Lukic

20     said he would give -- he would make submissions this week about P1003,

21     MFI.  That's the chart of names used with that witness.  I spoke to him

22     during the break and he said he might -- he'd be prepared to make -- to

23     say something briefly now, or at least that's how I understood him.

24             JUDGE ORIE:  If that's the case, you have an opportunity to do

25     so, Mr. Lukic.


Page 9509

 1             MR. LUKIC:  All we have to say is that we maintain our

 2     objections.

 3             JUDGE ORIE:  Well, that's a short submission.  My recollection

 4     doesn't serve me well enough to know whether you had given grounds for

 5     that earlier.  If not, I would invite you to do it.  If you have given

 6     full grounds, then we'll consider the matter and decide on it.

11             JUDGE ORIE:  Is that an issue of admissibility or is it an issue

12     of probative value and weight to be attached?

13             MR. LUKIC:  I think it's more of probative value.  Yeah.

14             JUDGE ORIE:  Then, may I then take it that -- for probative value

15     it's usually not -- or do you say it has nonprobative value whatsoever

16     and therefore should not be admitted, which of course is --

17             MR. LUKIC:  Yes, that's what [overlapping speakers] ...

18             JUDGE ORIE:  That's your position.

19             MR. LUKIC:  Yes.

20             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  The absence of any probative value opposes the

21     document to be admitted.

22             Mr. Traldi.

23             MR. TRALDI:  Your Honour, on the merits, we would submit that

24     that's an issue of weight.  Separately, I would request that lines 8

25     through 11 of page 91 of today's transcript be redacted from the public

 1     version.  I think that's a reference to testimony given --

 2             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.

 3             MR. TRALDI:  -- in private session.

 4             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Madam Registrar is hereby instructed to

 5     prepare the redaction.

 6             Nothing else on the matter.

 7             MR. TRALDI:  Your Honour, if I could just briefly seek that we go

 8     into private session.

 9             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes, but --

10             MR. TRALDI:  I would seek leave to correct one matter from

11     earlier.

12             JUDGE ORIE:  Yes.  Then we'll move into private session.

24     are scheduled to resume in early April, on the 8th of April.  Do we know

25     already in which courtroom?  Courtroom I, my colleagues tell me.  We then
