It turned out that this was in fact a practical joke played by Serbian war reporter [[Nebojša Jevrić]] on his American colleague Roy Gutman{{Ref|s-m1}}. The charge was not unreasonable as another person with the name Gruban - [[Momčilo Gruban]] aka Čkalja, was charged as a supervisor in the same indictment for actions at the same location. The charges against "unknown" Gruban were dropped on May 8, 1998{{Ref|ICTY1}}. |
