A neighbor of the Blažić family, Stefan Marković, testified at the trial Uroš Blažić za mass murders in May 2023 that he has known them all his life on "hello-hello" and that they shoot for every Christmas, New Year, that shots were fired at the wedding both in bursts and individually.
"There was shooting at the wedding, no one can tell me that it wasn't," said Marković and added that it was Uroš Blažić shot as a child and that he saw it done 12 or 13 years ago.
Answering the lawyer's questions about how old Uroš Blažić was at the time, Marković said nine or 10, and to the defense lawyer's statement that he was eight years old and the question of whether a child of that age could pull a gun, Marković said that he could.
He also said that on the fateful night, he saw Blažić with a man in a car, who was a little shorter than him (Marković), who had facial hair and tattoos, and that it was across the street from the school between 20.30:21.00 and XNUMX:XNUMX.
Police officer Aleksandar Savić also testified, who said that he participated in the confiscation of weapons from Uroš Blažić in 2021, that he was called for disturbing the peace, that he was searched at home where he was not, that he was found at his mother's house in Dubona, and that first said that his weapon was not there, and later he brought and handed over two hunting rifles.
A retired colleague from the army, Goran Miletić, said that he had known Radiša Blažić, Uroš Blažić's father, since 1997, that during the 1999 bombing, he was serving in Ruma, when bombs disappeared from the "warehouse" in Buđanovci, and that he had been persuading Blažić for about 10 days that this applications.
He said that in 1999, Blažić was his commander, that he found out that 11 bombs were missing and reported it to Blažić, who was not overly shaken and that he persuaded him for 10 days to report it.
Miletić said that an abandoned economy in Buđanovci was used as a warehouse for weapons and that anyone could enter there, and when asked if the warehouse was accessible to Blažić, Miletić said that it was, but mostly with his presence.
"Uroš Blažić's father knew about bombs"
He added that in 2001 proceedings were conducted against him, Blažić and two other persons in that case, that he was punished with a one-year delay in promotion, and that he had information that Radiša Blažić was also punished.
"I claim responsibly that he knew about those bombs," Miletić said in response to the lawyer's allegations that Radiša Blažić denied knowing anything about those bombs at the trial.
When asked if the M79 hand grenade and the M75 and M52 grenades were military weapons, he said they were.
As he said, Blažić was in charge of an automatic rifle and a pistol, but that this meant that they were in the warehouse and that they were obtained when he went on a mission.
The lawyers assessed that Radiša Blažić's statements were not sincere.
Radiša Blažić's former colleague from the army, Predrag Puhač, said that Goran Miletić gave the first information about the disappearance of bombs from the warehouse in Buđanovci, that he told the commander, but that Commander Blažić had not yet informed the division commander.
As he said, he heard how Blažić said that he was in Eastern Slavonia and that he could take whatever weapon he wanted.
Puhač added that he worked with Radiš Blažić in Ruma even after the war and that he was arrogant, that he sat alone in the office and read newspapers, that he often went on sick leave and that he could not say anything complimentary about him even though he harmed.
