Although some of the defense counsel tried to challenge their civilian status
because they looked like armored vehicles and because from time to time,
they were used by some uniformed men,
the trams in Sarajevo under no circumstances
could be considered as legitimate military targets.
Moreover, most of the attacks on Sarajevo trams occurred in times of truce
or deceptive lulls in the fighting along the confrontation lines.
So we took the tram, thinking, well, the cease-fire has been signed so nothing can happen,
or at least that is what we believed.
However, right at the second stop, I heard a shot.
I looked at my child who was sitting next to the window.
He was screaming.
I picked him up and I saw that he was bleeding.
Immediately we went down to the floor.
You indicated that the tram you were riding on was headed towards Bascarsija
and you were sitting facing the rear of the tram.
Now, perhaps you could tell us, as you were sitting,
which area of Sarajevo lay to your left-hand side?
To my left, there was the Grbavica neighborhood.
I was facing Ilidza.
And what color of clothes were you wearing that day?
I was wearing this very jacket I'm wearing today, 12 years on.
That concludes the examination-in-chief, Your Honours.
I don't have any further questions.
Thank you. Cross-examination.
Your Honors, indeed, I'm ready to cross-examine.
However, I heard something that is quite new to me;
namely, that Mr. Agović was wearing this very jacket on the day he was hit.
That is something I didn't know.
Can he show us where the bullet entered and exited his body?
Can we see that on his jacket?
Here you can see where the bullet entered. It passed through here and came out through here.
If need be, I can also show it on my body, where the bullet entered and where it exited.
Did the police who were doing the investigation take the jacket as corpus delicti?
Did the police take any photos of your jacket at the time,
and are there any photographs, contemporaneous photographs indicating that you were hit?
The police did not take any photographs of either my jacket or me.
I was wounded and I was in intensive care.
There was no opportunity for them to carry out on-site investigation.
Well, I've - I almost feel like not asking anything any further.
In fact, I will not put a single question to this witness.
Thank you very much.
I went downtown with my sister.
We were looking for food, it was already afternoon and far to walk back,
so we decided to get on the tram which had just started service.
I suggested that we get on the tram because we couldn't carry all the groceries
that we had bought. So we entered.
So when we arrived at that spot I just felt a strong blow in my arm and heard screams.
The tram kept on going to the point from where they could evacuate us.
At that point, I ducked because I was standing when I was hit,
and when I tried to get up, I realized that I had no control of my right arm.
I told my sister to help me, because I couldn’t feel my arm.
When they started evacuating us from the tram,
I had to step over a dead body, a man who had been killed
and then we were taken to the hospital.
That's it.
