For crimes committed on Serbs from the municipality of Konjic in Celebici camp, which was "open" from May 21st to December 1992, The Tribunal pronounced an acquittal for Zejnel Delalic, while Esad Landzo Zenga was sentenced with 15 years of prison, Hazim Delic 20 years of prison and Zdravko Mucic Pavo only seven years of prison.

That Yugoslav Army since April 1991 on the territory of former Yugoslav Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a legal army of the internationally recognized Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, was subjected first to provocation and than attacks, witness, among other things, the statement of Yugoslav Army officer delivered officially to the Federal Government Committee for collecting facts about the crimes against humanness and international law.

In that statement a witness claims that on April 1st 1992 he found himself in "Ljuta" installation near Konjic with five officers and 23 soldiers.

Since March 1992 the road near arms factory "Igman" on Konjic was strictly controlled by Muslim guards and during night they took out the ammunition and weapons in trucks and carried them to Visoko, the warehouse of "green berets" which were Muslim paramilitary units.

"On April 2nd Muslims didn't allow our vehicle to go to Konjic for food supply that we received from "Igman" factory kitchen. Afterwards we practically had to do it illegally, sending for food exclusively Yugoslav Army Muslim and Croat members which later on all went over to Muslim and Croatian side", the witness says.

Already on April 4th 1992, the witness reminds, the Muslims posted their guards in the village of Spiljani, on the bridge over Neretva river, and cut off the only way for officers and soldiers to leave the installation "Ljuta".

On April 5th, in the same village, the commander from "Ljuta" signed an agreement with the president of the local community, and the following day he agreed with the commander of Territorial Defense on mutual nonaggression treaty.

In the night between April 6th and 7th Konjic Territorial Defense commander brought to Yugoslav Army commander in "Ljuta" a written order to hand out Muslims the arms, and the following day Yugoslav Army commander was told "that Yugoslav Army was no more legal because Bosnia and Herzegovina had become an internationally recognized country."

Since that day the group of officers and soldiers is in a permanent blockade, under threat of attack.

The commander of Yugoslav Army installation in Celebici, sergeant first class Narcis, with the help of Velija Niksic, surrendered "Ljuta" to Green Berets and the police form Konjic, while he dismissed about twelve soldiers", the witness reminds.

The following day, on April 22nd, the commander of "Ljuta" went to Konjic to pick up nine Serbian soldiers from Celebici that Muslims had in the meantime arrested. The commander returned but without soldiers who, allegedly didn't want to come. Later those soldiers were taken to Split where they disappeared leaving no trace.

In his statement the witness points out that on April 25th the president of the municipality of Konjic Rusmir Hadzihasanovic stated in public that "Ljuta" would be attacked, and on May 1st all telephone communications were cut off and the members of "green berets" dug in around it.

According to witness's statement, Yugoslav Army officers decided on May 5th at 7 PM to begin pulling out people towards Zlatar. About all that Muslims were probably informed by Yugoslav Army members: Muslim Serif or Croat Rajko Andric, because the onslaught on "Ljuta" begun on the same day at 6:40 PM.

During the attack sergeant major Simovic was wounded. The answer to Yugoslav Army members demand to Muslims to take him over and offer him help was negative, so Simovic soon died.

Other officers and soldiers left "Ljuta" during the night through a manhole and managed to pull out across a hill towards Bjelasica, across very hard terrain and without food and water.

"In June 1992 I saw on Muslim TV how Alija Izetbegovic visited Konjic and building D-O, which was a marking of Supreme Command commanding position located nearby Igman factory in Konjic", the officer states.

Statement of Yugoslav Army member is one in a series which The Tribunal didn't take into consideration in Celebici case. It's obvious that it doesn't fit into the planned scenario about "Serb aggressors" in the war on the territory of former Yugoslavia.
