Was there a way for you, to be the first through the Army, to react to what was going on?
Jeste li imali ikakvih načina da vi možda prvi putem vojske, reagirate na to što sse događalo?
Well, the Army knew about this, I cannot say that they turned a blind eye because this always happened when no one was looking.
Pa vojska je to znala, ne mogu ja reći da su oni to slepo posmatrali, to se uvek događalo kad nitko ne gleda, kad nitko ne vidi.
Lovas was saturated in fear, people did not leave their houses unless absolutely necessary; so in order to inform the population that all the work able men needed to gather at the agricultural co-operative the local authorities had sent drummers to all the important streets to read this order out loud .
U Lovasu je vladao strah i nitko nije izlazio iz kuće bez preke potrebe, da bi obavestili stanovništvo kako se svi radno sposobni muškarci moraju okupiti u poljoprivrednoj zadruzi, lokalne vlasti su poslale dobošare da u svim važnijim ulicama pročita naredbu.

The most horrifying event happened on 18th of October 1991 when a group of 50 villagers from Lovas was forced to enter a mine field.
Najstravičniji događaji zbio se 18. oktobra 1991. kada je grupa od 50-tak stanovnika Lovasa naterana u minsko polje.
The night before they were collected from the village and they spent the night at the co-operative where they were maltreated and tortured.
Večer pre toga pokupljeni su po selu u celu noć u maltretiranji i fizičku torturu proveli su u zadruzi.

What happen to the dead, to those that were killed?
Šta je bilo s mrtvima koji su stradali?
So how many dead, how many bodies were there?
Znači, kolki je bio broj mrtvih, koliko se tu mrtvih nalazilo?
I think 17.
Ja mislim da je to bilo 17.
According to official information of the Office for Detained and Missing Persons of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, altogether 85 villagers were killed during the occupation of Lovas, and another two are listed as missing.
Za vreme okupacije Lovasa, prema službenim podacima Ureda za zatočene i nestale Vlade RH, poginulo je ukupno 85 stanovnika tog mesta, a još dvoje se vode kao nestali.
This makes 5.5% of population of Lovas in 1991 before the war.
To je 5,5% svih stanovnika koje je to mesto imalo pred rat 1991.

We are now standing in front of the site where the mass grave was, meaning that the mass grave was situated above these monuments, here next to us.
Evo mi se sad ovdje nalazimo pred, gdje je bila masovna grobnica, znači masovna grobnica je bila od ovih spomenika gore ovdje do nas.
This grave was one meter wide, and we used it bury people, that is me and other 5-6 of us,
Ta je grobnica bila metar široka u kojoj smo mi sahranjivali, odnosno ja i nas 5-6.
I have buried 35 people, everyone except the last ones from the mine field.
35 ljudi sam ja sahranio sve osim ovih koji su bili zadnji iz minskog polja.
A tractor would come here, with bodies piled on a trailer, bodies we collected in the village, and then we threw them into the ditch and in the beginning we buried them by hand, on the other side there was soil and we covered them by hand.
Ovdje je dolazio traktor, na prikolici su bili, ovaj, ljudi pobacani, koje smo kupili po selu i onda smo ih bacali u tu raku i prvih dana smo ih rukama, s druge strane je bila zemlja i mi smo ih rukama zatrpavali.
The reservists were standing at the edge and they were laughing at us, because we did not know what would happen to us, who were there doing the burning.
A tamo pri kraju su rezervisti stajali i smijali se nama jer nismo znali, ustvari kako ćemo i mi proći, ti koji smo tu sahranjivali.
Several days later, when we came back to bury other people, because the earth staged you could see parts of arms and legs sticking out from the ditch.
Nakon par dana, kada smo ponovo dolazili da sahranjujemo ljude, pošto se zemlja, ono, secovala se, dijelovi ruku i nogu su se vidjeli iz te rake.
We spent days burying them here.
I tako smo ih danima tu sahranjvali.

It all seemed unimportant.
Sve mi je se činilo nevažno.
Tomislav Šelebaj received an order he had to read:
Tomislav Šelebaj dobio je naredbu koju je morao da pročita:
Well, I did read what they wrote , umm, what was it; it was mostly regarding the gathering, everyone from 18 to 55 years old had to gather, they had to come to the machine work shop for some sort of meeting, there outside.
Pa čitao sam to što su oni napisali, ovaj , šta je bilo, uglavnom za ovo skupljanje je bilo da se skupe svi od 18 do 55 godina , da moraju doći radi nekog dogovora pred mašinsku radionicu, evo ovde vani.
And he, I said, gave this to him to read.
I on je, kažem, dao mu da to pročita.
Did Devetak know that people were being beaten here?
Jel Devetak znao da ljude tuku ovde?
There was no way he could not have known when people were being beaten some 5 m behind his back.
Pa kako ne bi znao kad je bio tu a 5 metara iza leđa su mu ljudi tukli unutra.
That man was, if you saw him you would be scared, he was very loud and he had some teeth missing, it was very arbitrary behaviour.
To je čovek, kad ga vidi da se uplaši, tako je bio bučan i malo bez zuba, to je bilo jedno samovoljno ponašanje
They cut the hair of one young man with a knife, he later on died at the mine field, actually he died in Šid, he had long hair, it was a horrific sight.
Ovog su jednog dečka tu, on je kasnije poginuo na minskom polju umro u Šidu ustvari, njega su šišali sa nožem, on je imao dugačku kosu, tako da je to bilo jednostavno strašno.
In the morning they were told that they are going to pick grapes, then they were escorted by members of JNA and paramilitary formations and forced into a mine field covered with clover.
Ujutro im je rečeno da idu u berbu grožđa, a onda su ih razvrstali i u pratnji pripadnika JNA i paravojnih formacija oterali u minsko polje zasejano detelinom.
It all happened some 2-3 km from the village, on Vukovar-Šid road.
Sve se odigralo na dva tri kilometra od sela prema putu Vukovar - Šid.
22 people were killed at the mine field, some form the mine explosions and some were shot in the back by soldiers .
U minskom polju poginulo je 22 ljudi, što od posljedice eksplozija mina što od rafala vojnika koji su im pucali u leđa.
Different voice: stupid?
Drugi glas: glup?
some two to three days later, three days at the most, Lieutenant Colonel Dimitrijević arrived who was his commander, with additional forces, that is with one entire additional unit.
, a nakon jedno dva ili tri dana, najkasnije tri je došao potpukovnik Dimitrijević koji je bio njemu komandant, ovaj, sa dopunom, još ovaj celom jedinicom.
I said we were not going to pick grapes, I saw that immediately.
reko mi ne idemo brat grožđe, ja sam odmah to vidio.
We entered /the field/, they positioned us diagonally and we had to rake the clover with our feet, we came there, there the mines were tied to little stakes, they asked us why we had stopped.
Ušli smo, isto tako su nas rasporedili popreko i morali smo nogama razgrtat tu djetelinu, došli smo tu, tu su bile povezane te na kolčićima, mine te i jedan, rekli su šta smo stali.
We had to cover the whole width of the field, hold each other hand and walk down the entire field.
Tu smo morali ići cijelu širinu ovoga polja, uhvatit se za ruke i cijelu širinu polja smo hodali naprijed.
Young clover covered the field and they ordered us to mimic the scythe with our legs while walking.
To je bila mlada djetelina i oni su nam zapovjedili da mašemo nogama kao da kosimo.
They kept their distance, the distance from there, on this hill, little further down the road they had us in their gun sights and shouted that they would kill anyone who tries to run away.
A oni su bili na pristojnoj udaljenosti, na udaljenosti od evo ga , na ovom brdu, na cesti malo dalje i oni su nas držali na nišanu i vikali su samo da koji proba bježati da će ga ubiti.
We reach the middle of the field where we stopped because we saw the mines.
Došli smo tu negdje blizu do polovice polja i tu smo stali, vidjeli smo mine.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a Chetnik approach the first man in the line and he fell down.
Ja sam krajičkom oka vidio gdje je jedan četnik skočio prvome koji je bio u toj vrsti i on je padao dolje.
As he was falling I threw myself backwards and then the explosions and shooting started, and we fell to the ground.
Kako je on padao, tako sam se ja bacio nazad i onda je počelo eksplodirati i pucnjevi se čuli, mi smo popadali.
After we finished demining, the wounded were ordered to stand up, and those who couldn't do it by themselves had to be helped to get out .
Kad smo to razminirali, onda su nam zapovjedili da ranjeni ustanu i tko ne može da im se pomogne izaći van.
I had the most serious injury and my friend Stjepan Peulić together with my cousin, they picked me up under my arms and started to drag me out.
Ja sam bio, pa, najteže ranjen i mene je prijatelj ovaj Stjepan Peulić i moj bratić uzeli pod ruke i krenuli smo da me izvuku van.
After few steps there was another explosion and we fell down.
Kad smo otišli par koraka, ono je opet eksplodiralo i mi smo popadali.
Then I saw that Stjepan Peulić's shoe was all bloody and broken and I saw that his big toe was gone.
Onda sam vidio da je Stjepanu Peuliću cipela se ovaj izašla, pala, sva krvava, rascjepana i vidio sam da mu je otišao palac nožni.
What were my thought at that time?
Šta sam u tom trenutku razmišljao?
I do not know myself.
Ne znam ni sam.
Perhaps, as they say your entire life flies before your eyes.
Možda, kažu da se čovjeku u tim trenucima odvrti cijeli život.
Maybe I thought that as well.
Možda sam i ja tako razmišljao.
The moment when we stood up I did not care any more.
Onog trenutka kad smo se ustali bilo mi je sve svejedno.
When we were picking up the wounded and when Uncle Stipa stepped on a non-magnetic anti-personnel mine, I was some two steps from them.
I kad smo kupili ranjenike, i kad je Čika Stipa nagazio na „paštetu“, ja sam bio dva koraka od njih.
He was even shouting, telling us "let's run away, they will kill us anyway, we will not survive, we will just get butchered".
On čak vikao, govorio nam „ajmo bježat, svejedno će nas ubit, nećemo svejedno ostati živi, mrcvarit će nas samo“.
And one man then said" don't, I might still see my wife and children once more".
A jedan je čovjek tu rekao „pa kaže nemoj, možda još jednom vidim ženu i djecu“.
So simply we, how ro say, we fought, whether or not we will survive, we did not know what was going to happen to us.
Tako da jednostavno smo mi, kako da kažem, borili, hoćemo ostati živi ili nećemo, ne znamo šta će bit sa nama.
We, the wounded, we were put on a truck and taken to Šid, and two Chetniks followed us in a private car to make sure no one escaped from the truck.
Nas, ranjene potovarili u taj kamion i vozili nas u Šid, a dvojica četnika su sa jednim autom, privatnim nas pratila da ne bi koji pobjegao iz kamiona.
Those two Chetniks that followed us brought a mop and a bucket of water and we had to mop up our blood from the waiting room floor.
Ona dva četnika što su nas pratila, oni su donijeli jednu kantu vode i krpu i morali smo svoju krv po čekaonici kupit.
After that we were brought back to the co-operative, across the road where we were at the machine work shop.
I onda su nas vratili u zadrugu, preko puta gdje smo bili u onoj mašinskoj radionici.
Because, as he said, it was pure luck that we survived.
Jel kaže, to je samo sreća što ste vi ostali živi.
They were properly buried. a military excavator dug a communal grave and we buried them there nicely.
Njih su uredno zakopali, vojni bager je iskopao jedinstvenu grobnicu, tu smo ih lepo zakopali.
I am not sure, 17-18, there was some 15 wounded, some seriously and some with minor wounds.
Nemojte me držati za riječ, 17-18, bilo je jedno 15-tak, ovaj, ranjenih, što lakše, što teže.
Well, how to say this, as I saw it, Ljuban was alpha and omega, I mean beginning and end.
Ovako, da se izrazim, po mome, Ljuban je bio, ako ćemo reći, alfa i omega, mislim početak i kraj.
In order...Is it clear?
Kako bi… Jasno?
I mean, did I say enough?
Mislim sad, jesam dovoljno rekao?
This is how I saw it, we can all conclude that this was his role.
To je po mome, to mi svi možemo zaključiti njegova uloga.
That he was, meaning, he was asked about everything, all is here, normally, he had his executors.
Da je bilo, znači, njega se sve pitalo, sve je tu, a onda je on imao svoje izvršioce, normalno.
During a lunch, umm, I asked Trpotin Dimitrijević why did he create Jasenovac in the village, you know ...and he, verbally, he protested and screamed at me.
Za ručkom, ovaj sam pitao Trpotina Dimitrijevića zašto je napravio u selu Jasenovac, znate …i on je, verbalno, ovaj prosto protestovo i viko na mene.
In the evening, around 17.00 hours a Pinzgauer /personnel carrier/ arrived, umm, on the 18th, in the evening.
Navečer, oko 5 sati je došao picgauer, ovaj 18-og, znači navečer.
A Pinzgauer came for him and for me, it was send by comm... that is, Colonel Lončar, Dušan from Tovarnik.
I došao picgauer po njega i po mene, poslao kom...ovaj pukovnik Lončar, Dušan iz Tovarnika.
I was in the office, somebody came in to tell me and then I , you know, with some trepidation, I said: "why Pinzgauer to take me to Tovarnik at this time", you understand.
Ja sam bio u kancelariji, neko mi je došao da kaže i sad ja onako sa zebnjom sam malo, reko šta sad picgauer da ja u ovo doba idem u Tovarnik, razumete.
This happened, I had nothing to do with it, but things are as they are.
Em se to dogodilo, em nemam veze s time, ali sad šta je tu je.
I moved away so the man could enter, and I was about to enter the vehicle when I was called by an orderly.
Ja sklonim se da čovjek uđe, i već zakoračim jednom nogom u vozilo, da uđem i zove me kurir.
After the mine fields we were reassigned to do tasks around the village, and then some new order came, from them, I do not know, to collect those of us who were there.
Poslije minskog polja su na rasporedili da radimo nešto po selu, onda je došla neka nova naredba, njihova, šta ja znam, da pokupi nas koji smo bili tu.
We have to separate the mine field event from the rest of the situation in the village because this was a clear nonsense that was done, it was something that was absolutely not all right, I mean you cannot even use those word "not all right".
Moramo od ostale situacije u selu apsolutno razdvojiti minsko polje jer to je stvarno nonsens jedan koji je napravljen, to je nešto što apsolutno nije u redu, mislim to se ne može ni reći se tim riječima „nije u redu“.
Look, I knew that things were going on.
Vidite, ja sam znao, ovaj, da se događalo svašta.
In this building, that private house where the police were, I do not believe anything special happened there, but that basement at the village hall ... it was held by the volunteers.
U ovoj zgradi, toj privatnoj kući gdje je bila policija, tu ne vjerujem da se nešto posebno događalo, a onaj podrum u mjesnoj zajednici je… držali su dobrovoljci.
What was happening there.... even i did not dare to go there.
Šta se tu događalo…, ja se čak nisam ni usudio da odem tamo.
However, it couldn't go on I don't know for how long, because the Army begun to control things.
Međutim, nije to moglo trajat ne znam koliko, jer to je već vojska, ovaj, i počela da ureduje.
The gave me a chair to sit on.
Stavili su mi stolica da sjednem.
When I sat down, the said to put hands on my knees.
Kad sam sjeo, stavi ruke na koljena.
I did, hit, these were, let's say, wooden bats, baseball, not to say it, these were wooden bats they had, being hit with the bat, the hand was broken immediately like so.
Stavim, udarac, to su ove bile, ajmo reći, palice drvene, bejzboj, sad da ne kažem, to su ovako drvene palice imali, evo udarac sa palicom, odmah je tu ruka ovako pukla.
I moved my hand, I got hit on the knee.
Sklonim ruku, dobijem po koljenu.
"Why are you moving your hands?
„Što izmičeš ruke?
Get up." Then put your hands on the kitchen, like so.
Ustani.“ Onda me ovako stavi gore na kuhinju, evo ovako ruke.
Of course, I was beaten on the back.
Normalno, po leđima sada tuku.
"Keep your hands in the air" and they are beating me.
„Diži ruke u zrak“ i tuku.
Later on, I sat on the chair again, and the guy with a bet hits me across the mouth like this, you can see the scars here; of course my teeth were kicked in, and here they broke my jaw, all this is deformed.
Kasnije, opet sjednem na stolicu, ovaj sa palicom udari me ovako preko usta, može se vidjet, evo ga tu su ožiljci; izbije normalno zube, ovo ovde mi slomi vilicu, ovo sve deformira se.
As I fell down, they started to kick me.
Kako sam pao na pod, oni su me počeli nogama udarati.
I began to defend myself automatically, so I wouldn't be hit in a face.
I ja sam se počeo mehanički braniti, da me ne udaru po licu.
He told me to lower my hands.
I rekao je pusti ruke.
When I moved my hands, they started to hit me again and I was struck in a face, there was blood.
Ja kad sam sklonio ruke, počeli su me udarati i dobio sam po licu, to je krv curila.
When I stood up again I had to lower my hands so that they could beat me.
I onda kad sam ponovno ustao, morao sam pustiti ruke da me oni tuku.
And this happened many times during the night, they would get drunk and come in to beat us and then leave.
I tako su puno puta tokom noći, kad se napiju, dođu pretuku nas, odu.
Then several of them came and they began to pull my teeth using pliers, those pliers used to pull teeth of pigs, they pulled my teeth.
Tada su dolazili njih po nekoliko pa su počeli, počeli su mi sjeći zube sa onim kliještima šta se svinjama, zubi, onim prascima sijeku, sjekli su mi te zube.
And then, because I had this wound too, they stuffed a cup of slat into my mouth.
I onda, pošto sam imao i tu ranu, iza toga su me onda natrpali jednu šalicu soli u usta.
And then various interrogations regarding some weapons, that I had never had or used in my entire life.
I onda raznorazna ispitivanja o nekakvom oružju, koje ja nikad u životu nisam imao niti koristio.
There was no food.
Jela nije bilo.
One litre of water for the ten of us, altogether, me included, there was ten, beside me nine others.
Jedna litra vode je bila na nas deset, nas sveukupno sa mnom računam deset nas, još devet, znači, osim mene.
One litre of water for three days.
Jedna litra vode na tri dana.
And nothing to eat.
A jela nije bilo ništa.
Although, they did come to ask if anyone was hungry.
I, ako, dolazili su dakako pitaju, da li smo, da li je netko gladan?
In the evening, they drove each of us to our respective homes.
U večernjim, kažem, satima su odvezli nas svatko svojoj kući.
They probably thought that we cannot survive this any longer, so they took us to our homes to die, because then we were nor murdered but died of natural causes, I mean that is what they would write.
Vjerovatno su mislili da mi više to preživit nećemo pa, eto, neka svatko u svojoj kući umre jel znači nismo ubijeni, nego smo prirodnim, mislim, bi se pisalo da smo umrli.
Here, in this house the Army Command was situated.
Evo ovdje, u ovoj kući je bila vojna komanda.
Here, people who wanted to leave the village, here they would receive a certificate from the Army Command allowing them to leave the village.
Tu su, koji su ljudi htjeli izaći iz sela, tu su dobijali potvrdu od vojne komande da mogu izaći iz sela.
Here you had to write the vehicle number and who was driving and everything.
Tu se moralo napisati broj vozila i tko je izvaža i sve.
So you could not leave the village without the certificate from the Command.
Tako da nisi mogao izaći iz sela dok nisi dobio potvrdu iz vojne komande.
I also have a copy of this permit issued by the Army Command allowing me to leave the village.
Ja isto imam jedan primjerak, ovaj, te dozvole što je izdala vojna komanda da možeš izaći iz sela.
And here across the road, at this corner, police was here.
A ovdje preko puta, na ovom uglu, tu je bila milicija.
SAO /Serbian Autonomous Region7 Krajina Police was stationed here.
Tu je bila milicija SAO Krajine.
They had SAO Krajina Police insignia and this was their headquarters where they brought people to interrogate and torture.
Oni su imali ambleme milicije SAO Krajine i tu je bilo njihovo sjedište i tu su oni dovodili ljude, ispitivali, mučili.
And they further killed and did I do not know what in the village.
I dalje ih onda vodili i ubijali i šta sve radili sve po selu.
Many of the villagers were forced to leave Lovas, but before they were forced to leave they had to sign a statement that they wish to leave voluntarily, of their own free will, with their movable property.
Mnogi od stanovnika bili su prisiljeni da napuste Lovas, a pre protjerivanja morali su da potpišu izjavu da slobodno i bez prisile žele da se isele sa pokretnom imovinom po vlastitom izboru.
Until the fall of Vukovar and even later on those from Western Slavonia started to arrive, you know... And it just started to calm down.
Do pada Vukovara pa i posle, posle već počeli da dolaze ovi iz zapadne Slavonije, znate… Taman se smirilo.
______ has betrayed and he is saying, reading the announcement, I asked him who had given him that and he said it had been Lieutenant Colonel Dimitrjević, because he came, I sad that before, this Valjević he came with that unit on the very first day on the 11th,
______ je izdao i govori, proglas čita, ja ga pitam tko mu dao, kaže potpukovnik Dimitrijević, jel on je došao, rekao sam već, taj Veljević je došao s tom jedinicom odmah prvog dana, 11.
The day before leaving for the mine field for the bloody grape harvest, on 17th of October 1991,
Dan pred odlazak u minsko polje na krvavu berbu grožđa, 17.oktobra 1991.
Prodanović told me that I had to go, that I would only be with them at the municipality and he told me that i would go out with this drum to read the announcement out loud, the drum belonged tot he village from before, and I also received a piece of paper with the text I had to read.
Prodanović mi je rekao da moram ići, da ću bit samo kao njih pri u općini i rekao je da ću ići oglašavat s tim dobošem, to je taj doboš što je bio od prije, od sela što je, i onda sam, dobio sam papir šta moram pročitat.
