employees, the Emergency Medicine Department within the Medical Center in
Valjevo received a number of injured persons as follows: 1. Bogosav Stefanović from Valjevo, born in 1954,
registered in the Emergency Center journal under No. 5958. After examination,
the following has been diagnosed: A ripped wound with contusion on the scalp. He was
given immediate surgical treatment and released. This wound is a minor injury inflicted by the action
of dull mechanical force. 2. Vesna Pavlović, born in 1978, from Valjevo,
Birčaninova Street No. 3, Emergency Center journal No. 5961. The following
has been diagnosed by examination: A ripped wound with contusion on the nose. Since an
X-ray of the area of the wound has been made, the doctor who examined her
suspected the fracture of nasal bones. The patient was advised to contact an
ear, nose and throat specialist. The records of the ORL department for 3, 4 and
5 May 1999 both in the clinic and hospital ward do not show that Vesna
Pavlović reported for examination. This suggests that these wounds may be
qualified as minor injuries. 3. Saško Savić, born in 1968 from Valjevo,
