  •                                  Portrait of Jovica Stanisic
     
                 Serbia's State Security Chief and Milosevic's Akashi
    
        General Information-  As usual, virtually nothing is known about the head of
        the Serbian State Security Service, or SDB.
    
        Origin- He was born in Backa Palanka. He's married and has two children.
    
        Education-   Belgrade  University School of Political Sciences,
        International Department,  graduated in 1974.  His  fellow students
        remembered  him when  he recently  appeared on  TV. They said there was
        nothing special about him, that he was an average student and wasn't a
        member of  popular university party  organizations. He was the only one
        whose phone number was untraceable during preparations for a graduation
        reunion. Beside his name on the student list was  a short note- SDB-He
        didn't show up for the reunion.
     
       Career-  He entered  the service   right after  graduation. First  as an
        operative, later  as the operations chief  in the Belgrade SDB.  Step by
        step -without stumbling or excelling- he went from the Second department
        of  the  Serbian  service  to  deputy  chief.  During  the first days of
        Milosevic's reign, he  replaced Zoran Janackovic as head  of the service
        -Janackovic was posted to the federal foreign ministry's information and
        archives service where Stanisic's wife works.
    
        When did we hear of him- At the start of the war and sometime around the
        March  9, 1991  demonstrations. Both  things happened  at about the same
        time. In  both things Stanisic is  reported to have played  major roles.
        Since then he became known as ``the  closest to the pharaoh'' in an ever
        growing circle.  He was entrusted  with almost all  covert operations in
        Croatia and Bosnia-from arms supplies  to drafting plans of action. How
        he did the job is yet to be disclosed.
    
        Who doesn't like him- The Yugoslav  Left or JUL, because they consider him
        a war-monger  and parts  of  the  military counter  intelligence service
        since his credits include weakening that service.
    
        Which lobby is he part of- Primarily he's part of the obedient lobby --he
        won't turn  against his boss  ever-- the Vojvodina  lobby, Backa Palanka
        lobby and Crvenkas lobby.
    
        Where  can he  be seen-  With  Milosevic,  in the  Metropol hotel,  with
        Milorad  Vucelic,  the RTS  director,  Mihalj  Kertes, director  of Yugoslav
        customs, Crncevic, and occasionally he surfaces in Pale.
    
        The story  of the special envoy-  First Ceda Mihajlovic, who might have
        been someone's  spy, accused him of  war crimes, then the Western press
        tagged him as  Milosevic's possible special envoy to  the Hague and then
        Milosevic appointed him special envoy to Pale.
    
        What did he do there- He took so many troops in red berets that he could
        have taken the hostages by  force. One version  says he told Karadzic,
        Sloba- Milosevic, that is- says something bad is going to happen to you if you
        don't release the hostages.  They say Karadzic did not reply but walked out of his office.
    
        Do we  know anything else about  him: No and we  won't unless his friend
        writer Brana Crncevic writes a drama.
                                                                Ivan Radovanovic
