Jasmina Tesanovic: Scorpions Trial, Day One
Scorpions Trial
Jasmina Tesanovic, Belgrade
First day of trial, March 13, 2006
Boca's Squad / Military Box 9189/19 Vukovar
That's how today's witness presented himself: a low-key thirty-nine-year old locksmith, grim and uncomfortable in his role. He executed his legal duty with obvious physical pain and loud moans and groans. as if barbecued slowly by the impatient woman judge, who looks every time more like a Hollywood star.
"Boca" is just a nickname here, commonly given to the nice kid round the corner, and Vukovar used to be a time-honored city in Croatia. However now, we are talking about Scorpions destroying that city, together with the Jugoslav National Army, the JNA. Recently a movie was made about that scene of the crime and bloodshed.
