There is no communication after information when, but after the end of the war, I have been assigned to this unit, when it's formed, it's the form before the war or after the war I haven't had information”, he said.
This statement, the eighth witness did by answering specialised prosecutor Sylvia Déscoli's questions when asked when the National Guard was created, reports “Justice Vow”.
According to him, their task was to secure the staff of the operational zone that existed at the time, adding that they did not have any other assigned task for reasons that, according to the witness, the process of transferring the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) to a civilian-protective force had begun.
On the other hand, he said the commander of the National Guard unit was the number 5 person and, as he remembered, he reported directly to the Lapi Operative Zone, the area staff.
The session is continuing in private session.
