In the evening hours Goran Mojović came to the military premises of the Foča Tactical Group in Velečevo, Foča Municipality, where the Engineering Unit members were accommodated, and in the presence of several members of the Engineering Unit, including Rajko Milošević, executed an order to pull down the Aladža Mosque, built in 1550–1551, under the protection of the state as of 1950, by conveying the order to the present members of the Engineering Unit, whereupon two present Serb soldiers refused to carry out the order, whereas Rajko Milošević agreed to carry it out, whereupon he, together with Goran Mojović, went to the Livade Military Depot in Foča Municipality where they took over around 25 anti-tank mines and fuse, detonators, detonator caps and other material necessary for the activation of the mines, which they transported in the Campagnola military vehicle used by Goran Mojović in front of the Aladža Mosque, located on the right bank of the Ćehotina River in the eastern part of the Foča town, whereupon they unloaded the mines and the other material which Goran Mojović and Rajko Milošević planted around and inside the Mosque, and then activated causing an explosion in which they completely destroyed the Mosque.
