The transcript, whose parts Milosevic read out loud in court, seems to be authentic; at least Stjepan Kljuic confirmed that the transcript was authentic, in the part referring to the camps run by the Army of Bosnia-Hercegovina outside Sarajevo. Whatever the legal consequences, it is pretty obvious that in April of 1994 Alija Izetbegovic was aware of the existence of prisons in which Serb civilians were held illegally, without any investigation or established guilt. Moreover, Izetbegovic himself, responding to the question from Mirko Pejanovic, referred to them as "concentration camps", immediately correcting himself and renaming them "collection centers".
Judging by the notes from the meeting, which Dani obtained from the Tribunal, Pejanovic warned Izetbegovic at that meeting about "carelessness", that is that some prisoners had been held in the prison in Hrasnica for more than "two years". General Jovan Divjak responded to Izetbegovic's enquiry about the number of prisoners in Hrasnica by saying that there were 28 prisoners. Izetbegovic then said that that should be stopped. "Prisons should be abolished. We demand that people held there be transferred to military prosecutors," he said.
Pejanovic again pointed out that a delegation of citizens from Hrasnica hadsubmitted a request to finally establish responsibility of people who had been held in captivity, without an investigation, for one or two years. Divjak, as an illustration of Pejanovic's assertion, mentioned that "four of prisoners in Hrasnica [had] been held for 23 months". "They are mentioning Hrasnica, Konjic, Tarcin and other places. If we release prisoners from Tarcin, they [Serbs] will not release their prisoners from Kula [Serb run prison]," Izetbegovic responded.
When they told him that they did not advocate that prisoners be unconditionally released, but simply investigated, Izetbegovic dismissively said that "we can immediately make a decision in that sense". The most troublesome part of the meeting comes when Izetbegovic starts justifying the existence of these prisons, referring to them as "reprisal measures".
"I am not convinced that they are guilty of anything, I mean from the legal point of view, the people held in Tarcin. They were held in response to those in Hadzici. Thus, Tarcin is practically a concentration camp. Actually, a collection camp. They are in different form. It is a collection center. These people are not guilty from the legal point of view. That is a measure, that is, as people say, a reprisal measure. There is no way to liberate these men," Izetbegovic said and moved on to the next point of the agenda.
