TROJICA NAORUZANIH LJUDI SU 9. JUNA 1992. U POLA
devet navece provalili u kucu Ismeta Hasanagica i nasilu istjerali njega i dvojicu komsija koji su se kod njega skrivali – Ramiza Makasa i Rasida Borovica. Poveli su ih putem kroz selo, do obale Drine, i strijeljali ih prislonjene uza zid kuce Hasana Balica. Tragovi od metaka se vide i danas, nisko na zidu, pa je za pretpostaviti da su zrtve bile natjerane da kleknu. Ubice su bili Janko Janjic Tuta, Dragoslav Zelenovic Zelja i Dragoljub Kunarac Zaga. Iz sume u blizini, cijeli prizor je posmatrao Ejub Termiz – danas sijed, u sestoj deceniji zivota – kojem je to bio treci mjesec skrivanja od nasumicnih srpskih patrola koje su u selu ostavljale krvavi trag.
Selo Paunci, na putu izmedju Foce i Gorazda, skoro je unisteno vec u aprilu 1992. Jedan dio mjestana, od onih koji su prezivjeli, skrivao se po sumama, neki od njih cak i do septembra te godine. Medju onima koji nisu prezivjeli prvo "ciscenje" naselja bio je bracni par Frasto, Ibro i Sevala. On je rodjen 1911, ona 1922. Ibru su u njegovom dvoristu ubili trojica nepoznatih ljudi. Sevala je srezana rafalom, pogodjena je u glavu a potom ukopana u basti; Ibro je ostao u kuci koja je potom spaljena.
Dok su doktori i tehnicari sakupljali preostale komadice njene lobanje, ostavljajuci ih u plasticnu vrecicu, prezivjeli clanovi porodice su se u strahu nadvirivali nad plitki grob, starija je zena glasno ridala, a u hladu iza nje sjedila su dvojica policajaca sa dvoglavim orlovima na plavim sapkama. Paunci su danas u Republici Srpskoj. Ubice jos uvijek slobodno hodaju Focom, udaljenom tek nekih desetak kilometara.
Les je bio zamotan u deku u kojoj je i pokopana, tacnije pokrivena zemljom i ostavljena u nadi da je zivotinje nece iskopati. Kao i lesevi trojice muskaraca ukopanih prekoputa. Prezivjeli svjedoci kazu da je leseve pokopao Mate Burilo, komsija. Govorili su tiho i ispod glasa, bacajuci nepovjerljive poglede prema policajcima, i Slobodanu Skrbi, clanu Komisije za nestale RS, koji se setkao okolo, govoreci preglasno, gestikulirajuci presnazno i neprirodno, kao da zeli oskrnaviti grobove njemu nepoznatih ljudi. Za njega je to bio posao, kao i dvojici policajaca IPTF–a, jednom u francuskoj, drugom u nigerijskoj uniformi. Tog je dana, samo tu u tom mjestu, iskopano devetero ljudi; najmladji je rodjen 1942.

On June 9, 1992, at nine thirty at night, three armed man broke into Ismet Hasanagic's house and forced him and another two neighbors who were hiding in his house, Ramzo Makas and Rasid Borovic, to get outside. They took them down the road through the village, to the bank of the Drina River and shot them against the wall of Hasan Balic's house. Bullet traces can be seen even today, low on the wall, so that one can assume that the victims were forces to kneel. The murderers were Janko Janjic Tuta, Dragoslav Zelenovic Zelja and Dragoljuv Kunarac Zaga. Ejub Termiz saw everything from a nearby forest. Today he is a gray-haired sixty-years-old man. At that time, he had been hiding for three months from random Serb patrols that had been leaving bloody traces in the village.
The village of Paunci, on the road between Foca and Gorazde, was almost totally destroyed in April 1992. Some of the villagers, those who survived, hid in the forest, some of them until September of that year. The married couple Frasto, Ibro and Sevala was among those who did not survive the "cleansing" of the village. He was born in 1911 and she in 1922. Ibro was killed in his yard by three unidentified persons. Sevala was cut down by a burst of fire from an automatic rifle. She was hit in the head and later buried in the garden; Ibro remained in the house, which was then set on fire.
While the physicians and technicians collected pieces of her scull, placing them in a plastic bag, the surviving members of the family fearfully peeked into the shallow grave, an elderly woman cried loudly, and two policemen with two-headed eagles on their blue hats [of the Republic of Srpska Police] set in shade behind her. Murderers still walk freely through Foca, only about ten kilometers away from the village.
The corpse was wrapped in the blanket in which the woman had been buried, or more correctly covered with soil in hope that animals would not dig her up. Just as the corpses of the three men buried across the road. The surviving witnesses say that the corpses were buried by Mate Burilo, a neighbor. They spoke silently and furtively, sending from time to time distrustful glances in the direction of the policemen andSlobodan Skrbo a member of the RS Commission for the Missing, who walked around, talking too loudly, making too strong and unnatural gestures, as if he wanted to desecrate graves of the people he did not know. For him that was work, as well as for the two IPTF policemen, one in a French and the other one in a Nigerian uniform. That day, only at that spot, nine people were dug up, the youngest of them born in 1942.
