Kilde: Drazen Erdemovics vidneudsagn ved domstolen i Haag

”The Lieutenant Colonel took us to a farm. I did not know the name of that farm. I just explained the location. I knew that the village of Pilica was there, but it was only when we got there that I learned what was happening. They told us that a bus load of civilians would come from Srebrenica. I said immediately that I did not want to take part in that and I said: “Are you normal? Do you know what you are doing?” But nobody listened to me and they told me, “If you do not wish to, if you… you can just go and stand in the line together with them. You can give us your rifle”. […]

I told you last time, if I had been alone, if I had not had my wife and a son, I would have fled and something else would have happened. I had to do that. I was forced to do that.” […]

“Your Honors, I would first like to say that I did not wish to do that. It was… I was under orders. If I had not done that, my family, would have been hurt and nothing would have been changed.” […]

I do not know how many people I killed, nor would I like to know how many people I killed, but I did tell Mrs. Vanessa Vasic Janekovic that I killed 70 people. That is what I told her and that is what I told the Court in Novi Sad, but I wish to tell you, it destroyed me, it killed me. I simply thought that my life was worthless after that. I lost everything I had. Finally, I lost my wife, my child. We parted. I just wanted the truth to be known and for someone to understand that this actually happened and how these people had lost their lives because, as we heard today, nobody knew about the place of Pilica, that a crime had happened there and what kind of a crime. Perhaps that is where most people were killed. To have someone believe me that I really had to do it, that I did not want to do it. That is why.” […]
