2 [Open session]
3 [The accused entered court]
4 --- Upon commencing at 2.15 p.m.
5 JUDGE ORIE: Good afternoon to everyone.
6 Madam Registrar, would you please call the case.
7 THE REGISTRAR: Good afternoon, Your Honours. This is case
8 number IT-06-90-T, the Prosecutor versus Gotovina, et al.
9 JUDGE ORIE: Thank you, Madam Registrar. If there are no
10 procedural matters to be raised, Ms. Mahindaratne, may I take it that you
11 want to continue your examination on subjects for which we'd have to move
12 into private session.
13 MS. MAHINDARATNE: Yes, Mr. President.
14 JUDGE ORIE: Then we move into private session, and the usher is
15 invited to escort the witness into the courtroom.
16 MS. MAHINDARATNE: Mr. President while the witness is coming in,
17 I just wanted to inform the Court that I received --

22 MS. MAHINDARATNE: I beg your pardon, Madam Registrar.
23 I just wanted to inform Court that I did check the evidence of
24 the citations I gave yesterday with regard to Witness 82, and I don't
25 find any inaccuracies that are cited.

1 JUDGE ORIE: Is it about the Gracac --
2 MS. MAHINDARATNE: Donji Lapac road, Mr. President.
3 JUDGE ORIE: Yes. I checked that as well. What we see as a
4 matter of fact that the witness said that on their way to Donji Lapac
5 that he saw 90 per cent destroyed. At other moments, he talks about
6 coming from Gracac but the direct link between the 90 per cent and the
7 route, Gracac-Donji Lapac, is not there, from what I see. And that may
8 have caused the objection.
9 MR. KUZMANOVIC: That's correct, Your Honour, and that's the
10 point I was going to make after counsel graciously gave me the citations,
11 and I looked at them myself as well.
12 JUDGE ORIE: Yes. And so the 90 per cent is there, Donji Lapac
13 as a destination is there, Gracac, at another moment as where the -- they
14 departed from is there, but the 90 per cent for that trajectory from
15 Gracac to Donji Lapac is -- I haven't found it, and I have verified all
16 the quotations you gave.
17 [The witness takes the stand]
18 MS. MAHINDARATNE: Mr. President, if that's the case, my
19 apologies.
