5 JUDGE MAY: Yes. Yes, Mr. Nice.

6 MR. NICE: Your Honour, we've only asked the witness to remain

7 outside because there is, I think, technically outstanding the issue of

8 the 92 bis application in respect of which the Chamber sought a further

9 filing from Mr. Kay. That's been provided. We haven't been in a position

10 to provide further written material in the time available. We have,

11 however, made available to you a draft of the proof of evidence of the

12 witness concerned, which reveals how, of course, his evidence --

13 JUDGE MAY: Just a moment. We'll be handed it.

14 MR. NICE: I'm sorry that it hadn't found its way to Your Honours

15 yesterday. It was provided yesterday. It may be that the better course

16 would be to put this consideration back rather than delay evidence. But

17 our point arising from the draft proof of evidence is that, of course, all

18 the matters that relate to the accused are going to be dealt with by the

"Slobodan Milošević managed to mislead the court, the witness and some journalists who, most likely uninformed, fell for the hoax", writes JD in the last issue of "Vremena" under the title "Who is Peja 'Gypsy'".

I think I know who signed himself with the initials JD: your journalist and Hague witness Jovan Dulović. I do not know, however, why Dulović did not sign and why, when he quotes me, he does not mention my name; why does he transmit NIN's writing and not cite NIN as the source; and finally, why does he refer to me in the plural, as "some journalists" and "reporters", when I am the only journalist to whom his words refer.

I also don't understand why Dulović takes the testimony of Rajko Đurić and Mihajlo Ulemek as confirmation that there were two officers named Pejović on the Vukovar front, one of whom was an Arkanian called Ciganin, when it was Dulović who testified about this at the Hague court this fall. Slobodan Milošević must have been listening to him carefully, as soon as he emphasized in the cross-examination of S. Lazarevic that he was asking about Arkan's of

4 [The witness entered court]

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

6 JUDGE MAY: Mr. Groome, before we begin today, there is a matter

7 which I want to deal with now, because it is becoming urgent. I

8 understand that Witness C-036, it's proposed, should be the witness after

9 next.

10 MR. GROOME: That is correct, Your Honour.

11 JUDGE MAY: And that the next witness is comparatively short.

12 MR. GROOME: That is also correct, Your Honour.

13 JUDGE MAY: We have had the opportunity to consider the

14 application under Rule 92 bis, and the conclusion that we've come to is

15 that this is not strictly a matter of record or background, that the

16 evidence which the witness gives deals with some matters which are very

17 much part of the story in this case, and therefore it is better that all

18 matters be dealt with live.

19 Now, we recognise too that there is a great deal of evidence which

20 this witness can give, and therefore there is a difficulty for all parties
