At the time Lovas had a population of 1700, and according to a census from that year, 86% of them were Croats. 
Lovas je u to vreme imao oko 1700 stanovnika, od kojih su prema popisu iz te godine, njih 86 % bili Hrvati.
In the chaos that followed, no one could tell who was actually in control, JNA, paramilitary formations that mostly looted or the haphazardly established military civilian government of the local Serbs with the newly appointed director of the agricultural co-operative Ljuban Devetak. 
U haosu koji je nastupio, nije se znalo tko ima stvarnu vlast, JNA, paravojne formacije koje su uglavnom pljačkale ili na brzinu uspostavljena vojna civilna vlast lokalnih Srba sa novo postavljenim direktorom poljoprivredne zadruge Ljubanom Devetakom.
A TO /Territorial Defence/ unit came to the village, some 400 men, with their Commander Captain Veljević, and one company even spend the night, 10th to11th, at the co-operative facilities situated before the village, where they went after that, I do not know. 
Jedna jedinica TO Valjeva došla u selo sa njihov komandir čete, radilo se o četi tristo i nešto ljudi, bio je kapetan Veljević, a jedna je četa čak prespavala ovaj na ulazu u selo na ovoj ekonomiji ispred sela, 10 na 11, ali posle kud je otišla, ne znam.
And we did so to say, they took over the village completely, they held all the roads towards the village and controlled comings and goings , it was impossible to leave the village without their pass. 
I mi smo recimo, oni su zauzeli kompletno selo, sve prilaze sela i držali to, kontrolu ulaska , izlaska iz u selo i nije se moglo uopšte selo napustit bez njihove propusnice.
Slavko Božić, villager from Lovas: 
Slavko Božić, meštanin sela Lovas:
What I know about Ljuban, the day after they arrived to the village, it was, they arrived on the 10th of 
Ono što ja znam o Ljubanu, drugi dan kad su oni došli ovde kod nas, to je, oni su došli kod nas 10.
'91, so the following day, a community meeting at the village hall was arranged for an important announcement. 
'91., znači drugi dan je dogovoreno da se narod sastane u domu, mjesnom domu, radi važnog saopštenja.
We were in the hall, sitting, when Ljuban came from the back on our right wearing camouflage military pants, thick military winter vest , the kind that soldiers wore, that kind of vest, and in one hand, I do not know left, right, he was carrying an automatic rife and he came to stand before us as we were sitting on the benches. In front of us, there was a stage, and he did not climb on the stage but stood between the stage and us, the people who were there and said: 
Bili smo u sali, sedili, sa desne strane nama iza leđa sa puta naišo je Ljuban, odjeven u vojničke šarene hlače, u zimsku debelu vojnu vestu, što vojska nosila, no, tu vestu, u jednoj ruci, ne znam levoj, desnoj, nosio je automat i došao je pred nas koji smo sjedili na tim klupama, ispred nas je bila pozornica na koju se on nije popeo nego je stao između pozornice i nas ljudi koji smo bili i rekao je:
"I do not need to introduce myself, you all know me, I am a local man", he was born in Lovas. 
„Ne moram se, ne moram vam se predstaviti jer me znate, domaći sam“, rođen je u Lovasu.
"I am local", umm, "This meeting is held in order to take care of some business, and this is that I am the Commander of all the soldiers, army, police, Territorial Defence and manager of the co-operative." 
„Domaći sam“, ovaj, „Sastanak se ovaj održava radi rešavanja nekih poslova, a to su da zapovednik sam sveukupne vojske, sveukupne vojske, milicije, teritorijalne Odbrane i upravitelj zadruge.“
Therefore, he openly stated, that he was the man. 
Dakle, on je tu izjavio otvoreno da je tako, da je on taj čovjek.
Nothing was done, even apples were not picked , vineyards were not harvested, seed-corn, corn, sunflowers, nothing was done. 
Ništa nije bilo urađeno, čak jabuke nisu bile obrane, vinogradi nisu bili obrani, semenski kukuruz, kukuruz, suncokret, ništa to nije bilo urađeno.
I have tried my best to get everyone in the village working, you know. 
Ja sam nastojao maksimum da angažujem sve ljude iz sela da bi ovaj se to radilo, znate.
I had support in this, I reported to the Army every night regarding the plans for the following day, on the movement of the people in Atar, so they would know about it. 
I tu sam imao podršku, ja sam svaku večer vojsci referiso šta se sutradan radi, gde se ljudi u Ataru kreću da bi oni znali da se to kreće.
They were marked usually with white, umm a white cloth, they had to wear it every day regardless if I was working at the show or moving around, and later on around the village as i still went to make repairs if a water pipe had broken because that aggregate when it was pumping water, we had a normal supply of water, then, the pipes broke, had to fix it and I always had an armed escort with me, meaning, one of the soldiers or should i call them Chetniks, never mind, one of them always had to escort me and I had a pass allowing me to move around the village. 
Obilježeni su normalno bijeli, bijela ovaj krpa, to su morali nositi svaki dan bilo da radim u radionici di da se krećem, a kasnije po selu još sam uvijek išao popravljati negdje ako je pukla vodovodna cijev jel taj agregat kad je tjero vodu, normalno imali smo vode , onda smo , pukle su cijevi, popravljati i obavezno je bila uz mene pratnja, naoružan, znači, morao je sa mnom ići, sad od vojnika ili kako da ih nazovem il četnika, nije važno uvijek je jedan morao ići sa mnom u pratnji a ja sam morao imati propusnicu po kojom sam se kretao po selu.
There was no discrimination, and regarding the arm bands I believe I have explained this, it was of their own initiative, in order to protect themselves people started wearing arm bands, no one, I am sure, ever ordered these arm bands to be worn. 
Pa nije bilo diskriminacije, to sa trakama sam ja mislim pojasnio, to je samoinicijativno, ljudi su da bi se zaštitili počeli trake, nikad nitko, siguran sam u to, nije naredio trake.
Regarding the compulsory work order, this was not really a compulsory work order, it was me, I really introduced this compulsory work order to complete the harvest, meaning so that the grapes and apples are picked, corn harvested, umm, this compulsory work was paid. 
A što se tiče radne obaveze, to nije bila neka radna obaveza, to sam ja, to stvarno sam ja uveo radnu obavezu za skidanje letine ukupne, znači grožđe, jabuke, kukuruz, ovaj, i to je radna obaveza koja je bila plaćena.
There was an unsafe atmosphere in Lovas under the tyranny of the members of paramilitary formations, and the local population was maltreated and robbed. 
U Lovasu je vladala nesigurnost i samovolja pripadnika paravojnih formacija, a lokalno stanovništvo bilo je pljačkano i maltretirano.
Men of military service age were taken into custody to newly formed police station to be questioned, questioning and interrogation were accompanied by beatings, harassment and abuse. 
Vojno sposobni muškarci privođeni su u novoformiranu stanicu milicije na informativne razgovore, saslušanja i ispitivanja praćena premlaćivanjem, fizičkim maltretiranjem i zlostavljanjem.
How many volunteers there were, I cannot say, because their numbers varied from day to day, for example today there were 20 of them, tomorrow 5, and three of four days later there was possibly 50 of them, they were coming and going, looting was always an issue. 
Dobrovoljaca je bilo, koliko je bilo ja ne mogu da kažem, jel njihov broj recimo danas je bio 20 sutra 5, a za tri četiri dana poslije toga možda je bio i 50, i tako, oni su dolazili i odlazili, uglavnom krađa je uvijek bila u pitanju.
Were there occurrences that these groups, those paramilitary groups you are mentioning, did they abuse the local population, did they beat and tortured them? 
Jel se događalo tamo da su te skupine, te paravojne o kojima govorite, maltretirale domaće stanovništvo da su ih tukli i mučili?
Well, when this would happened then murders usually happened as well, that was only a reason for the looting. 
Pa kad je dolazilo do toga, onda je obično bilo i ubistava , to je samo bio razlog pljačke.
Marko Filić, villager of Lovas: 
Marko Filić, meštanin sela Lovas:
Petronije, he is, 
Petronije, on je,
Marko Filić: it is POL /?/, hima nad that little guy Kosta, they were the most dangerous ones, and that Nidžo aka. Demonac, this is what they did at my house: they ransacked my hose, beaten my daughter, took all my gold, poor me. 
Marko Filić: to je POL, on i onaj mali Kosta , to su najopasniji bili, i onaj Nidžo zvan Demonac , i evo šta je on kod mene u kući radili: kuću su mi razbacali svu, kćerku tukli, odneli sve zlato, jao
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.

Berislav Filić, zamenik načelnika opštine Lovas
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.
