"Quite simply, the position was that all civilians would be evacuated, that the men would be separated, detained, and killed," Nikolic told the court, adding that he had been instructed "to co-ordinate the forces that would be engaged in this operation of separation, temporary detention and, later, the killing of those men".
«Jednostavno, stav je bio da će svi civili biti evakuisani, a da će muškarci biti odvojeni, zarobljeni i ubijeni», rekao je Nikolić na sudu, dodajući da je dobio instrukcije «da koordinira snage koje će biti uključene u ovu operaciju odvajanja, privremenog pritvora i, kasnije, ubistva ovih ljudi».
