Gen. Farkas confirmed that some crimes had been committed by Yugoslav soldiers in Kosovo, but denied

that they were committed in a widespread or systematic manner. He said that individuals and small

groups of up to three people committed crimes. He said that whenever evidence of crimes came to light,

the military judiNIKE SHOXry energetically prosecuted the perpetrators.

As the chief of military security, Gen Farkas often met with Milosevic during the Kosovo war. He

explained that Milosevic’s attitude towards criminal conduct in the army and police was extremely

negative. The witness said that Milosevic ordered the army and police to take all conceivable measures

to prevent crimes from even happening in the first place.

Milosevic was also very concerned about the possibility of Serbian paramilitary groups becoming active

in Kosovo. Milosevic ordered that no paramilitary groups be permitted to operate anywhere in Kosovo.

According to Gen. Farkas, Milosevic authorized the army to blockade the border with Republika Srpska in

the event that Serbian paramilitary activity was detected there.
