“ZORAN 35 years of age – in spite of everything I am very nostalgic – sad!!!” 88. By way of contrast, the next diary entry relating to Zoran is dated 27 May 1993. It reads as follows: “Spoke with Zoran – he lives now in [Edinburgh] alone – he bought a flat for Ann – they are good friends – he has SECONDHAND BOOKSHOP called ORPHEUS!!! What a future!! He said – we meet – he will buy me beer – Bloody BASTARD.” According to Zoran, this telephone conversation took place when Jovanka visited him in Scotland in 1993. She rang Bane, and he then spoke to his father for a few minutes. They had a very brief conversation, in which Bane asked how he was. This seems to have been the only occasion on which Zoran and his father spoke between September 1985 and his death. Zoran’s recollection is that Bane seemed coherent during the conversation, but Bane’s diary entry evidences a strong feeling of disappointment. Incidentally, Zoran’s unchallenged evidence was that the years during which he ran the Orpheus Bookshop were 1987 to 1989, so it appears that Bane must have got the mistaken impression from their conversation that the shop was still operating. 89. The question of what financial provision Bane made for Zoran is one to which I will need to return later. For now, it is enough to record, in addition to matters I have already mentioned, that: (a) in July 1985 Bane evidently intended to transfer £100,000 to Zoran to enable him to be independent, but was unable to do this, at least directly, because Mirjana obtained a court order freezing his English bank accounts in the context of the matrimonial proceedings; and (b) in October 1996 Bane sent £12,000 to Mirjana, to be paid by her in monthly instalments to Zoran. Mr Rinaldi 90. Mr Rinaldi is currently Diplomat in Residence at Florida Atlantic University, an academic chair which he has held since 1998. Prior to that, he had a distinguished career in the United States public service, both as a politician and as a diplomat. From 1972 to 1980 he was Director of Regional Education Offices for the US Department of Education, and from 1980 to 1988 he worked at the US State Department as a diplomat with responsibility for Europe and Latin America. I found him an impressive witness, and his testimony is again of particular value because he knew Bane well before the onset of his illness. 91. Mr Rinaldi first met Bane in 1967, and from then on they remained in regular contact. Mr Rinaldi visited Bane in London a number of times, particularly when he was posted at the State Department. He says that from the outset he found Bane to be “gregarious, intelligent, forthcoming, diplomatic, pleasant and an excellent business man”. He was also “the best host you could have”. In 1980, Bane visited the United
