„That was like you were going and the driver said that he was not going any further, that it might be mined. And I said: "Our boys passed through here. They are about half a kilometer from us. There are reproaches on the right and on the left, they passed." I got out of the car, "if you don't want to, follow me." So I went on foot with him, and I say: "If you don't believe your own people that they did it well, then in short, you have nothing to do between us. Because I trust them that they did it well, because they are trained for it." Well, they didn't admit a person who didn't know it. When a new deminer came, it was always handled by giving him a two-cent or five-cent piece, throwing it in the grass and saying "Look!" Or they took two euros or two dollars in change, he counted how much change he had, then he scattered it around the meadow and he says: "In the evening, when we arrive, you will bring me the money." Well, until the evening you saw a guy sitting in such a square in the grass and looking.“

„All the types of mines that were there were absolutely not in the list of those that I knew. That means, I saw them in the picture, I knew their models, but I didn't see them anywhere sharp. I needed to see the sharp ones and I needed to touch them. And for that I needed the Croatian engineers who came there, showed me - and I'll admit that at that time I reached into my own pocket, I just asked the commander to, in short - allow me to do it... And there you could buy cheap cognacs and beer. So I bought five cases of French cognac and a couple of cases of beer and said if it was possible for me to get this sharp material from them. Well, the 24th engineering battalion, to which these belonged, suddenly brought a full car, of everything.“
