The statement of Munira Sefic (Source: AIIZ, inv. br. 03-2658) - translation of relevant extracts

Munira Sefic, chief accountant of the Basic Court Mostar by October 1993, speaks about the situation in judiciary under Croatian Defense Council. At the beginning of her statement, she speaks about the arrest and detention of her husband at Heliodrom, following which she turned to Karlo Sesar to help her "through Jozo Muselimovic" to leave Mostar. Karlo told her that he tried, but with no success and allegedly Muselimovic said that it would be a pity for Munira to leave Mostar. When on May 10 she came to work, the court president Mladen Barbaric told her that "Muslims should not come to work". At the end of September, Munira was expelled to the other bank of the Neretva river. The soldier under the name Adolf, probably Romanian, took part in expulsion.

(A part of the translation of the Page 1) The official note prepared by the police in Mostar on Oct 6, 1993 on the basis of the testimony of Munira Sefic, who was a chief accountant at the Basic Court in Mostar. On May 5, 1993 her husband was arrested and taken to Heliodrom, where he was kept for 29 days. He was not tortured and was released with a group of patients. In the midst of May, Munira visited Karlo Sesar and asked him to help her through Josip Muselimovic to leave Mostar. Karlo told her that he tried, but that he could not help her and Jozo also told him that it would be a pity for Munira to leave Mostar. Before May 9, 1993 Munira had arguments at work because of her attitude against HZ HB. On May 10, she came to work, but was told by Mladen Barbaric, whom she considered as extreme, that Muslims should not come to work. Until the day of her expelling, she was called to come to work only once in July to prepare the statement for the final balance sheet, which she did. She has a copy of the statement with her and she can make it available for insight. The last salary which she received from the Court was in April (...)

(Translation of the Page 2): (...) On September 9, 1993 around 7 p.m. the HVO soldiers raided the building where Munira lived with her husband and son, and expelled them. They did not allow them to take anything with them. After they got out of the building, her husband was taken away. All women and children were kept separately from men. This expulsion at the Center 2 settlement was carried out by a large number of HVO soldiers, according to Munira - over 500. The expelled Muslims were concentrated in front of the building across from the Milk Factory. A soldier named Adolf opened the fire at the crowd without taking his rifle from his shoulder. He heavily wounded Salko Brajlovic, nicknamed Zec, who died soon after as a result of bleeding out. Adolf was shooting without any reason. Munira thinks that he was a foreigner, probably Romanian,

(Translation of the Page 3): A very interesting official note prepared by the police officers in Mostar on the basis of an interview with Munira Sefic from Mostar, about the situation and status of some non-Croat Court employees, theft of money and jewelry from the court deposits and treasury and breaking into the apartments owned by Bosniaks by the HVO soldiers (Source: AIIZ, inv. br. 03-2658): "35 years with black mustache, short hair, short, muscular, speaks with foreign accent. After shooting, the soldiers took Adolf away from the expelled people, who were loaded on trucks. Munira was on the truck, where the women were ordered to load the body of the murdered Salko Brajlovic and one unknown woman (ca 65 years old) who died after feeling nauseous in the crowd. After that, a bigger group was driven to the Liska Street where they were ordered to unload and then carry the dead bodies to the positions held by the Army of RBaH at the Boulevard. When they were in the middle of the Boulevard, the soldiers opened wild fire towards them. That is why they left the two dead bodies somewhere in the middle of the Boulevard. After they crossed the Boulevard, the group was received by the Army of RBaH.
