SARAJEVO, Bosnia (September 2,2008) - Testifying before the Bosnian State Court yesterday at the trial of Serbian war criminal Predrag Kujundzic, Mirsad Tokaca, President of the Research and Documentation Center - an NGO from the Bosnian capital Sarajevo, said that he had got "numerous pieces of information concerning victims and happenings in Grapska village," as well as several documents, indicating that 34 village residents were murdered by the genocidal Serbian fascist aggressor on May 10, 1992.

"In their statements witnesses mention that members of the 'Predini vukovi' participated in the mistreatment of people. Some mention Predrag Kujundzic as an executor," Tokaca said.

The Bosnian State Prosecutor charges Serbian war criminal Predraf Kujundzic, as commander of the "Predini vukovi" ("Predo's Wolves") a genocidal Serbian fascit aggressor's unit, with having participated in "an attack on and destruction of" Grapska village, in Doboj municipality, on May 10, 1992. Besides this, he is charged with using 16 Bosnian civilians as human shields and murdering them, as well as illegally detaining Bosnian civilians in "Percin disko" building.

Prosecution witness Tokaca spoke about 17 Bosnian civilians, who were murdered by the genocidal Serbian fascist aggressor on June 12, 1992, when they were used as human shields in Makljenovac. He said that there were "a number of documents and statements, given by survivors", about these people and the mistreatment of detained Bosnian civilians in "Percin disko" concentration camp.

Besides Tokaca, protected witness 14 was also examined yesterday. Due to the additional protective measures, the public had to be in another room during the course of his testimony. He said that five or six genocidal Serbian fascist aggressor's soldiers came to his apartment in Doboj in September 1993, adding that he knew Serbian war criminal Predrag Kujundzic, but he did not know the others.

"They were looking for some radio station. They started kicking me with their legs, as I did not have it. Predo (Kujundzic) hit me on my nose with some weapons. I started bleeding. Then they left. They said they would be back, but they never came again," witness 14 said.

Witness Ibrahim Hadzikadunic told the Trial Chamber that, in April 1993 he was taken, together with about 20 other Bosnian civilians, to Stanic rijeka, where they had to "retrench the frontline".

"Upon our arrival we were met by a captain from Doboj and Predrag Kujundzic. I heard of him and 'Predini vukovi' Unit. He asked us to dig trenches as per their instructions. If it was not possible to work at daylight, we dug trenches at night. Weather conditions did not matter," Hadzikadunic said.

As indicated by this witness, Serbian war criminal Predrag Kujundzic forced him and seven other Bosnian civilians to remove "roof construction and tiles" from a Bosnian house and load them onto a truck.

"After that they would take away household appliances from Bosnian houses. They would just go there and say: 'Predrag Kujundzic ordered us to do this'," the witness said, adding that this lasted for about "20 to 30 days". He said he did not see Serbian war criminal Predrag Kujundzic any more.
