Selfdeclared witness of crime

15.03.2006., Wednesday

Vjenceslav Bill streched out in his Zagreb apartment in conversation with the author of 45 lines (August 2006.)

As an introduction in story about my friendship with Vjenceslav Bill, what culminated with threatning and disturbing messages from previous post, I would look back on more media of that selfdeclared witness of crimes of Branimir Glavas. When I say selfdeclared, I claim that on basis of several facts:

1. Ante Djapic didn't read his name on list of witnesses of investigation of Osijek war crimes. 2. In direct conversations with some of investigators I found out that Vjenceslav Bill didn't offer any valuable cognitions to investigators. 3. That was not him, but Krunoslav Fehir, as last wrote Drago Hedl, crown and protected witness in Glavas case. 4. In recent text of Slavica Lukic in Globus about «finished investigation and police documents on stand by in State attorney's office», not one murder is mentioned about which publicly spoke Vjenceslav Bill. 5. When he also brought me into misconception about his knowledge who killed Mato Sabic Saban, I wanted to confront him with a man who has completely different informations from investigation of 1992., but Vjenceslav Bill refused to talk with former military investigator, and just these days he was calling him and slander me that I am «A spy, sick man» etc. The case of Vjenceslav Bill more and more reminds me on axiom of Miroslav Bajramovic (see link How Pakrac poljana case lived through fiasco by framing false witness Miroslav Bajramovic). It is possible that of parallels Bajramovic-Bill are aware also my colleagues who wrote positive about former witness against Branimir Glavas. When I introduced them with, in previous post quated messages about my wife, my child, they answered that Bill conntacted them already, but they don't want to enter our dispute. Not only they didn't support me. They didn't even called me again. I think that is, not only human, Catholic, but also matter of fair relation to profession to admit the mistake. I admit that Vjenceslav Bill deceived me, so I also by that deceived a part of public who believed my texts about him. Colleagues, who think that I am in a private war with Bill, I let to their conscious. I thank to readers of 45 lines on their support. My dears, your comments really encourage me :) Here are short extracts from numerous till now published texts about selfdeclared witness of war crimes in Osijek, with links:

«I know that Cappiau had connections and a police bedge, also as Yves Almodoval, but I didn't want to participate in weapon trade. Because of Osijek I was always on target, so I was even told that I would finish as Milan Levar did», finished Bill, adding that Cappiau had some business relations even with Tihomir Oreskovic. Vanja Majetic, Vjesnik, 15 March 2002.

ZAGREB – In night on Tuesday several men tried from apartment in Selska road in Zagreb pulled out and attack Vjenceslav Bill, volunteer of Homeland war, who in several investigations testified about mob and political murders. «They rang on my door around midnight. When I opened the door, without disscusion, they tried to pull me out of the apartment and beat me. I reacted quickly and hit one of the attackers on hand with iron wire for shoes. Soon the police came, and I reported the case», said Bill. He recognised one of the attackers. He claims he was the son of Boris Pinek, who lives in neighbourhood, and once he was responsible for murder of Sasa Ilic. Zeljko Peratovic, Vjesnik, 28 July 2004.

In a phone call with Vjenceslav Bill we found out that in statements in which he listed events in 1991. he has sent on addresses of President Franjo Tudjman, Minister of defense Gojko Susak and all secret services, also to former Minister of defense Jozo Rados who is «senile when he claims that he doesn't remember this document». He warned that the police did not conduct a decent investigation and added that «Glavas, Vladimir Seks and Petar Kljajic fought in basement, where they probably would receive Slobo». Snjezana Canic Divic, Vjesnik, 09.07.2003.

The prosecutors raise a charge believing that journalist Ljubica Letinic on the 4th July last year in show Daily news on Croatian radio released a record of a phone call with Vjenceslav Bill regarding to his letter which was read the previous day on the press conference by former Osijek-Baranja county head Ladislav Bognar. Prosecutors claim that in letter are said lines of untruthful statements which harms his honour and reputation deeply and put in question their personal safety, and that the journalist gave the opportunity to Vjenceslav Bill to repeat that in front of the widest circle of listeners and she even expanded them with her comments. Hina, 01.03.2004.

In his explanation, Bill gave as a reason for change, his illness but also the fear of coming to Osijek. Second charged thinks that Glavas is an influential person in the city and that his impact especially got stronger after win of HDZ on last parliamentary elections, what by his opinion, can effect on decision of the court. Tomislav Prusina, Slobodna Dalmacija, 19.02.2004.

Already mentioned Vjenceslav Bill recently told for Feral his story about structure of units at that time which were formed under Group of national guard. He said many things about once more never solved murder in Osijek, that of Mato Sabic. Drago Hedl, Feral Tribune, issue 767

So, Osijek court, on Monday ordered to Vjenceslav Bill from Zagreb to show up in two days term on psychiatric expert evaluation which should determine whether is Bill ready for the trial. In particular case, it is the matter of charge rose by Branimir Glavas who charges Bill for slander, because Bill in TV show Latinica proclaimed Glavas because of murder of Mato Sabic and Josip Reihl Kir. «I am a hundred per cent invalid», says Bill. «I have all the documents for that which I got in Zagreb clinic Rebro but Osijek court does not recognise that doctor's report. Glavas asks for expert evaluation in Osijek, because his friend is a manager of the psychiatric clinic there.» «I won't go on that expert evaluation», says Bill. I will shoot myself in head or jump off the balcony before they get me». Drago Hedl, Feral Tribune, 3rd June 2004.

«Glavas considers Croatian judicature as a show for his personal interests. He also declared that in Glas Slavonije and on Slavonian television, announcing a law suit against me. I don't consider that judicature as he does, and on that charge I will not reply before Glavas is put on trial for Kjoto Medjugorac, Mato Sabic and Reihl-Kir. On those trials I will gladly come as a witness», said Vjenceslav Bill. Drago Hedl, Feral Tribune, 5th September 2003.

Vjenceslav Bill responded immediately to our request to comment on the Police statement by saying: «That's rubbish. Police did not conduct a decent investigation. I am not a policeman. My submission is very specific, everything is in it. The police is lying.» Boris Pavelic, Novi list, July 5, 2003/ex-yupress.com, February 12, 2004

Branimir Glavas rejected all Bognar's accusations. According to him, Bognar decided on this «desparate» move because the hate obviously «black out his mind», and witness Vjenceslav Bill according to him is a man of «questionable health capacity». Boris Raseta, Feral Tribune, 4 July 2003.

•17.03.2006., Friday Vjenceslav Bill: take off the virus from my computer or I will punish you! I didn't walk to police today. I had more important business. And Vjenceslav Bill, as somebody else pays his mobile phone bills, continued to cover me with messages. He has sent me again by MMS several pictures of my daughter. Isn't that sick?! He sent again several old SMS-es in which in form of national song trying to be toiletly funny. His messages are treat for psycholinguists. All are ful of «shit», «pissing», «sucking»...Do the memories from closed male institutions speak out, or is it about permanently used erotic preferences, I don't know. Yet he came up with some new messages:

Marko Erceg complains to me that X (wife) has bristled hairs on her pussy, looks like she has a little polecat between legs and stinks very much. I told him that she is a good woman, but Zeljko eats shit and licks, and that's surely the reason. Munib (Suljic) wouldn't mind that. Stinks, so what. Sender: Vjenceslav Bill, +38598385848, Sent: 16:55:30, 17.03. 2006.

I forgot to tell you that X has a belly as a madder and she hides there all the shit she has brought from BANJA LUKA, poor she, probably she is worried that you wouldn't eat that. Something else, these days I will come to your place for money you owe me for taxi I paid for you to drive you to Gazi and Erceg, I lost so much time tiger and fuel costs. Don't try to swindle me with X (wife), I'm an older man and I don't fuck for money. Maybe I'll come tonight, I don't know, maybe. Sender: Vjenceslav Bill, +38598385848, Sent: 17:58:58, 17.03.2006.

Hurry up and take off that virus from my computer you have sent me, and paid computer six thousand kunas, I give a fuck what you write. I swear, if you don't solve that, I didn't steal it, by that you exceeded, I honestly tell you, call the police, call God, I will punish you, I swear to God, MUNIB is a dick. Sender: Vjenceslav Bill, +38598385848, Sent: 18:43:04, 17.03.2006.

When I started to receive similar Bill's messages and MMS-es with pictures of my daughter, I spoke with colleague Drago Hedl, for whom the «False Witness» claimed that he respects and honours him very much, although he several times made improper remarks on Hedl's family history. I doubted that Bill's behaviour has something with investigation of Milan Levar's murder, and those doubts I passed to Hedl. - I don't think he does. Bill has bought the computer recently. He plugs on Internet and through Google he went on research what was written about him. So he had found that you published a photo of him and Marko Erceg. He called me imediately and complained about that. There is nothing else in the background, said Hedl. - I personally brought him prints from blog when he demanded to write about him and to publish his pictures and identity cards which were signed by Branimir Glavas. After all, nobody normal would react because of picture like that as that did Vjenceslav Bill, I said to Hedl and till today we didn't contact. About Vjenceslav Bill I knew only what wrote Drago Hedl, Boris Pavelic, Marijo Kavain, reported by Ljubica Letinic. I personally know all mentioned colleagues and I don't remember taht any of them ever warn me that something is wrong with Vjenceslav Bill. At the beginning of 2004. I have published text about crimes after «Oluja» and by quoting several opened sources I said that F.D., a member of a special police, is mentioning as a person directly responsible for one well-known masacre. The same morning in editorial office of Vjesnik called me Vjenceslav Bill to tell me that he appreciates my work on brightening crimes in Gospic, that he is personally acquanted with planning of assassination on Milan Levar in former coffee shop Australia in Tkalcic Street, about what he informed high ranked police officer, Gojko Markovic, and that he is also friend of F.D., that he did all those crimes in «Oluja», but he is a good fellow who would do anything he was asked to do if they tols him that was for dr. Franjo Tudjman. So I swollowed the bait and started to communicate with Vjenceslav Bill. Considering that he previously, on trial for murder of Vjeko Slisko and in many different public occasions, he praised that he knew James Cappiaua, and that with Ante Roso he was together in deliquency center in Glina. Even a Belgian journalist, Peter Dupont, who was interested in story about Cappiau, I brought to Bill. It was the first time I was in his apartment. Like by chance, at the same time there was Drago Hedl, what I considered as a good thing, because he previously wrote about conection between Cappiau and Ante Roso. So Bill got hooked on me. He called me almost every day to inform me, that he knew reliably, that ICTY take care about my case, that he was noticed by OSCE to stay close to me, that somebody is threatning him, so could I put that in newspapers etc. Last year after torture with POA and Gotovina case and mobbing in Vjesnik, I went on sick leave in May. Previously Bill didn't call me for month or two. When he found out that I was on sick leave, he asked from me to go to Osijek with him because he had to sell family house, but he was afraid of Glavas's men, that he heard some gossip. I had some family obligations, and I was on sick leave, so I couldn't make his wishes come true. After my return from the sick leave, in July, I got a message from Krunoslav Fehir, now protected witness in investigation about war crimes in Osijek, that he wanted to give an interview for Vjesnik. I talked with Fehir, not knowing at that time his identity. But the source who put us together was the guarantee. Of course, Vjenceslav Bill didn't put us together, but he called me after publishing of Fehir's testimony in Vjesnik, to explain me the background of the story. All in all, he praised that he through his friends in Osijek criminal circles, put the oil on fire, inflamed by Fehir's interviews in Feral and Vjesnik. I suppose that in Vjesnik at that time they published Fehir's proclamation written by me, because Sanader was angry with Glavas, and for at that time chief editor of Vjesnik Andrea Latinovic, was written once that in parliamentary caffe she was victim of Glavas's grabbing by the breast. Although, Andrea Latinovic didn't want to publish my already ordered text about German investigation of murder of Stjepan Djurekovic, and other editors told me that interview with Pavle Gazi, who wanted to give an interview on theme Djurekovic, I can freely publish somewhere else. I didn't want to travel all by myself to Koprivnica, and as Bill was on my neck, offering different services, I asked him to drive me on interview with Gazi. I thought that Feral would pay the gasoline, but I was wrong. Nevertheless, Bill didn't complain then that I owe him for gasoline. He was proud because at the end of interview he could to the old UDBA-man and comunist Gazi say that God exist, because when old man hits his leg, he doesn't shout «help me comrade Marks». It was funny to me how Bill, who had praised to Gazi that he spent one part of his youth in delinquency centers and on Goli otok, he was nervous all the time of companionship with former Minister of police in Social Republic of Croatia. A day or two after that, Bill asked to go with him to Josip Boljkovac, who wanted to connect him with «some Marko Erceg, and as long as you know how to talk with that old UDBA-men, I please you to be my fuse». He asked me if I knew Drago Franciskovic, because Boljkovac was telling him about that man. We went on Old karlovac road to Joza Boljkovac. On our departure we met Mile Mrla. I said to Bill in front of Mrla: He was a good friend of Milan Levar. With lowered gazes, they acted if they didn't hear me and went each on his way – Bill and I went to Marko Erceg. Vjenceslav Bill constantly fawned me because I am «the real Sholja» (authentic Slavonian), and members of his family were settlers. He wanted to buy reklja (shpenzle). I recalled that such distinctive Slavonian costum is manufactured today only in my Gradiste. I suggested that we drove to Gradiste where we could buy reklja, and on return to Zagreb we could take along my father with us. I paid for the gasoline, and during the trip he talked in my dictaphone about «crimes and criminal in 1991. and 1992. in Osijek». Considering that he didn't want to agree with informations I knew about murder of Mato Sabic Saban, and he didn't want to talk with man who found out that informations in war investigation, I asked Bill to give me his version of the story in my dictaphone, just in case. He agreed adding that was a good idea,»if something- God forbid-happenes to me, you publish all that». I listened through today authorised conversation with Bill and it was confirmed to me that my interlocutor didn't give clear answers on key questions about murders for which he claimed he was witness. Mostly, his statement was full of gossip about conflicts in criminal-political-UDBA circles of Osijek. Bill called me several times, and twice I let him hear on the phone parts of «testimony» about orderers and murderers of Mate Sabic Saban. Of course, I personally didn't tell him anything. He screamed that he will intercourse with my deceased mother and so on. But in later SMS-es he didn't mention the tape, not even in single call he didn't denied anything from blog. After we drove my father to Gradiste, Bill said that he wanted me to come to his place with my family. His wife and he enjoyed in every move and voice of my at that time one year and a half old daughter. He even played a guitar for her. He took photos of her then. I will never forgive myself for that, because Vjenceslav Bill sends that pictures now by MMS as a threat. I gave him old, family, Slavonian clay jug, because he said he collects that, and Shokac things are his treat. In return, he gave to my daughter and my wife some trifles for which we found out that it was stolen goods, so we got rid of that. When I asked him on another occasion where he got surgical scissors which cuts every plastic for fishing, he said nonchalantly that he got that from a friend who stole it in the hospital. Is than odd the statement of Vjenceslav Bill that he participated in «Oluja», that he didn't shoot a bullet, and that he returned from the action earlier because he didn't want to participate in robbery. And how come that the selfcalled protector of Serbian rights, personally hates all Serbs, what is obvious from the messages he sends me. Is it odd that in message mentioned above he wrote that he will punish me because I screw up his computer with some virus which «he didn't steal, but paid six thousand kunas». The conclusion is – the heart doesn't cry for stolen gifts.

Vjenceslav Bill in dreamed Djakovo reklja (Gradiste, August 2005.)

After death threats, dissmisal and death of my mother, I went to Gradiste for two weeks to relax myself by fishing on Bosut. I asked from Bill to lend me two fishing rods for catching pikes. He did that, and when I brought it back, he wanted a picture with a pike I cought with his rods. Most of fishing rods I was using were from another source, but «his rod cought the pike». While I was sitting by the river, he called me to complain that Marko Erceg calls him all the time, who asks him to put him in connection with Drago Hedl, and all supposedly in connection with investigation in Osijek. During our visit to Erceg, I borrowed two video cassettes with testimonies of Milan Levar and Fata Skula. I was in conntact with Erceg, because for a book about Levar I was missing some important documents which Erceg promised me for some time to give me . the cassettes I got, satisfied my interest. I didn't have time to record it, because it was some older type of camera. Several months ago I managed to put it on DVD, and few weeks ago I sent it back to Erceg by post. Bill continued to bother me with the story that Marko Erceg wanted to spoil Hedl, and that he will with that «old UDBA-man confront.» I suggested him to go to him and say everything in face because I didn't have any more nerves and for two of them. I asked him if he went there. He said he didn't, that he would probably go, and maybe he would send his friend F.D. to him (the one who is a murder, but he is good as a gold V.B.). I told him to wait till I record the tapes, and we would together go to Erceg to see what it was all about. He refused the suggestion and consulting me not to give the cassettes to Erceg at all. I needed more river, so I asked him to lend me again those two fishing rods, because I intended at the beginning of September to go only for pike. He said there was no problem. That two rods would always be there for me. As the day I should go to Slavonia was coming the more he was reluctant about the lending. And he would go with his wife fishing. And rented some fishing house on Dobra near Boljkovac and Erceg...the night before the trip, after he called me for hundred time with complaints on Marko Erceg, I told him that I didn't have time to look for another fishing rods and that he would disappoint me very much if didn't give me the rods. He answered that there were no problems, just to come to his place tomorrow till 12 o'clock. After that time he would not be at home. He and his wife are going on Dobra. I came at 11 a.m. and found locked door. Nobody answered on my knocking, calls on telephone, and his wife and he turn off mobile phones. The luck was I had some audio cassette which I recorded for him on CD, which I left there with a note that I came on time, but they were not there. I find a way for the rods. All till 15.02.2006. when he started to send me first MMS-es with pictures of my child, Vjenceslav Bill didn't conntact me. At first I thought he was embaraced because of fishing rods or he became a protected witness. I even got a message form circles for which I thought they were close to investigation that Vjenceslav Bill got police protection. But, all that force me to call Marko Erceg to hear how ended their dispute. Erceg informed me that Bill was at his place before he ended conntacts with me. That he talked some bad things about me that I secretly recorded conversations of Josip Boljkovac and Erceg, and that I would never give back borrowed cassettes. That story is a proof that Vjenceslav Bill lied at the same time to me and to Erceg. It was clear to me then that he was in great fear because he authorised the mentioned interview, and I guess, to in advance protect himself from effects of my possible decision to publish the conversation, spreds roumors that I record secretly. Dear Bill, on the beginning of the conversation you ask if I record, and when I answer affirmative, you say just record. Now I will tell you everything. Inspite of all, for some time I didn't do anything to reveal Bill, because there was a possibility that he was protected witness, so I didn't want to endanger his safety. Soon I found out that Bill's friend was F.D. (a good man and a murderer added by V.B.), whose name he was threatning to Erceg by (Marko Erceg informed me yesterday that last autumn one person called him from Slavonia introducing as F.D., and threatened him with dead if he continues to screw up Vjenceslav Bill), once reported to police and state attorney's office as a part of a chain of conspiracy in murder of Milan Levar. By that information F.D. physically passed order from Zagreb to Gospic to kill Levar exactly on Monday, 28.08.2000. When I sum up all, I literally froze. Voluntarily or by someone's order, Vjenceslav Bill was my «adhesive strip». As I connected last year Bill with one official person from current investigation about war crimes in Osijek, I decided to check whether my former friend said something useful to prosecution. Unofficial answer from official person was: He didn't! Vjenceslav Bill is not witness at all, and not even protected one. So, I don't know why Vjenceslav Bill is still scared of Branimir Glavas. Why would Branimir Glavas harm Bill in any way when he didn't testify against him. Do they have some unsolved private things, it is not on me to judge. And are the materials from finished investigation enough to rise indictment against Branimir Glavas, the Main state attorney Mladen Bajic will decide. I'm sorry, after this experience with the loudest Glavas's opponent, I will keep away from that story. At the beginning of February was renewed investigation about murder of Milan Levar and like out of the blue, first called me Marko Erceg asking to give him back those cassettes and that Bill had right when he said that I would steal those cassettes. I calmed down Erceg and sent by post what was his. He thanked and apologised for trusting Bill. I passed him some of Bill's SMS-es where he was mentioning him. Shocked Erceg said that it couldn't be tolerated any more and he would inform about everything chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko. I don't have anything with alleged virus in Vjenceslav Bill's computer, an Internet beginner. He could nicely stick to google with his name or to put on 45 lines in favourites, and not fooling around through sites full of viruses – guess which are those. Although, I wish fast recovery to his computer. He promised that he will next week publish on Internet his truth.I recomend him that some of his friends journalists open a blog for him and help in presentation of «Truth of Vjenceslav Bill» illustrated by photos of two-year-old daughter of Zeljko Peratovic. 22:55 Comments • «BRUNO (REKETI) MAG DEALS WITH BLACK MAGIC I JUST SENT HIM PHOTOS OF THAT JOURNALIST PERATOVIC'S DAUGHTER HE PROMISED ME TO DO A CEREMONY ON HER BECAUSE OF OUR FRIENDSHIP FROM GOLI OTOK AND WE GREW UP TOGETHER FOLLOW THE EVENTS IN NEXT DAYS BRUNO IS MY BUDDY AND HE NEVER LIES WE ARE THE SAME SCHOOL AND WE HAD SAME TEACHERS my RESPECT» Sender: Vjenceslav Bill, +38598385848, Sent: 10:01:16, 18.03.2006.

If that loser from Gospic is alive he would probably get from him such SMS. (anonym 18.03.2006. 16:50)

• @Cartmann, I let the guy to reveal everything. Before all, it is important to me to show to all those where he slandered me with who are they connected to, that is, with who I was connected to. I am not afraid of his «magic». To harm me differently, he is not intelligent enough. By being maniac he gives evidences against him. Not all false witnesess and framed informators so stupid. Like him is Miro Bajramovic. He was threatning to Visnja Gotal while he was working in «Nacional». It is tragic that nongovernment associations and so called critic journalists, support false and framed witnesses, and from authentic, as Milan Levar was, they run away. I won't write special texts abput Vjenceslav Bill unless somebody of my «colleagues» stands publicly in his protection. I will publish some SMS more, no matter how wicked it sounds, to have enough material to put him back in some close situations, in his native ambiance. :) (45 lines 18.03.2006. 17:02)

•@anonym – 18.03.2006. (16:50), this is your last comment. You don't respect the memory of honoured deceased. Milan Levar might stay a loser if they didn't kill him.

Unlike Vjenceslav Bill, I reply on all summons, that is, I don't use an excuse from a psychiatrist to avoid the court to repeat what I have wrote or said. Vjenceslav Bill with his provocative appearances in public brought in inconvinient position in court former Osijek county executive Ladislav Bognar and a journalist Ljubica Letinic. They have passed Bill's claims that Branimir Glavas is responsible for death of some Croatian soldiers, and Bill doesn't want to confirme that in the court. He is afraid to go to Osijek because some unpleasant memories connect him with that city. The truth is, he asked me to keep him company when he went to sell the family house, because he was afraid. Unfortunately, or from today point of view, I didn't have time for such journey. And when he returned from Osijek, he has praised that he hired Drazen Matijevic, else Glavas's lawyer, to sell the house. And when from Matijevic came the cash for the sold, Vjenceslav Bill by the way praised to me that Branimir Glavas offered him money for reconciliation. It was all suspicious to me. But because of death threats, dismissal in Vjesnik and my mother's death, I didn't have time to think seriously about Bill's strange behaviour. A doubt started to haunt me: does somebody send all those paraniod liers on me, or I just radiate on frequency which magnetize them? 21:45 Comments •I wouldn't comment this at all – instead late compliment for the post beneath.

Margetic & Mesic & Ashdown

2006-01-16T19:17:00.000+01:00

Posted on croatian on 45 lines, 15.01.2006. Domagoj Margetic, besides Mesic's, published two more protected testimonies and on Monday he expects another court order

I had a hard time trying to hear out hours and hours of Mesic's testimony what was moved to a U.S. server by Domagoj Margetic. Although I announced at T-Zombix even yesterday that I would give lengthly comment of heard out, for now I would only repeat what I have written in announcement:

I downloaded from MP3. It is cool that Mesic and Sanader asked from ICTY to cancel prohibition. There's nothing new to hear. Mesic testified that Tudjman contributed to Milosevic's genocide in Bosnia. I'm glad that with that statement agreed also Sanader. I'm afraid that Tribunal for some time will not fulfill Mesic-Sanader's demand, because for primary leaking of Mesic's testimony on Tribunal is in process against lawyer Ante Nobilo. If the secrecy would be removed from this testimony, the process aginst Nobilo would be ruined, and somebody should be punished after all, shouldn't he?! Lengthly comment is on my blog in few hours after I hear out the whole testimony. Comments on blog of T-Zombix

On two audio records I found testimony of Paddy Ashdown. Most of it was open to for the public, but one part was closed, that was, the court treats it a secret testimony. It is interesting that Ashdown, who brought original napkins with Tudjman's notes of division of Bosnia, was not interrogated by lawyer Anto Nobilo, who had informations about connection of the witness with colonel of SAS, Bob Stewart, the person who was ascribed by a certain circles in intelligence services for some participation in Ahmic's massacre. Blaskic's American lawyer, Russel Hayman, who concentrated on hairsplitting about authenticity of some details on the napkin, Ashdown's distinct antipathy to Tudjman and the amount of alcohol which was drunk while British and Croatian President drank during the creation of «the napkin». Some of the questions were personal, so the President of court Council agreed to close that part for the public. By publishing also that part Domagoj Margetic is, by former point of view of ICTY, endangered another protected testimony.

Lord Paddy Ashdown (photo by The Scotsman)

On tape15 was published statement of witness by code name J.J., a Bosnian from Kiseljak, who was captured by HVO, as a member of Patriot league in his village, after the villages of nearby Bosnians was burned down. That witness talked about torture he was exposed in HVO's imprisonment, besides all, that he as a live shield was digging trenches to positions of B&H Army. He said that he saw near Kresevo members of HVO playing football with heads of killed Bosnian. Tihomir Blaskic was condemned by ICTY on 9,5 years in prison exactly because of using war prisoners for digging trenches and as live shields. The story about Bosnians which were exhibited on fair in Kiseljak is appearing also in indictment against Ivica Rajic. The witness himself did not put charge on Tihomir Blaskic, but he named Ivica Rajic as a chief of HVO in Kiseljak. This whole testimony has a sign of secrecy on it, so by that Domagoj Margetic published third protected testimony. When I expressed my concern because of fact he published two new protected testimonies, I got Margetic's dramatic reply:

-----original Message-------- From:Domagoj Margetic To:Zeljko Peratovic Sent:Saturday, January 14, 2006 11:17 PM Subject:RE: links don't work Zeljko, today the police searched my mother's house, my flat, they took all my computers, so now I write to you from my friend's computer. I got an order to close down my website in USA, but I said that they have to send that order to USA, because formaly and legaly it is an American media, which can't be closed down by Croatian regulations. We will see what will happen next, supposingly tomorrow during the forenoon they expect new court order. Greetings, Margetic

So, in Margetic's case, could be expected new court orders which means bigger problems that it all ended on Mesic's testimony. Considering that the accused journalist declared that audio recordings of Mesic's testimony on CD from assisstant of main Haag's prosecutor, David Eckerson, during the exchanging of evidences in process against him, I wonder if on the same CD were also testimonies of Paddy Ashdown, protected witness J.J. Somehow, I'm not quite sure of that, because it is in no connection with the process against Margetic in ICTY. As Domagoj Margetic did not give detailed statement why he also published those testimonies, I am free to pass over opinion of some experts for Tribunal's questions who estimate that all audio recordings which was published by Margetic these days, in fact he got from Croatian intelligence underground which have a goal to sharpen conflict with ICTY.

Latinica about Tudjman

2005-12-16T09:59:00.000+01:00

Post was published on 14 December 2005 on 45 lines HDZ amortises public because of arrest of Ante Gotovina by attack on Latinica Truly by morbid pressure on HTV, especially TV show Latinica, that they are responsible because of suicide of defender, to whom namely last drop pour over the glass when he saw how deceased dr. Franjo Tudjman is slandered, HDZ's parliamentar delegates, before all, want to amortise possible anger of their voters because of deliver of Ante Gotovina to ICTY. Josip Djakic, President of HVIDR and Parliamentar delegates of HDZ, blames Latinica because soldier's death, and several days ago possible demonstrations against the government because of Gotovina characterises as new log revolution. He doesn't mention nor his colleagues from HDZ and HSP, who analysed programm of HTV that a few days ago News of HTV concealed the fact that Ivo Sanader in the name of HDZ put a garland on Tudjman's grave half an hour before it was specificied by protocol, so TV cameras didn't recorded him, and what can mean only one thing, that actual Prime Minister is actually ashamed of his forefunner on head of HDZ, dr. Franjo Tudjman. That was noticed by private televisions, RTL and NOVA TV, on which, look at that absurdity, actual attackers on Latinica and HTV, are now summon on them in Parliamentar. Good notice made Damir Kajin, nobody from HDZ didn't complain when President of Parliament, Vladimir Seks, declared for HTV that he would give an advice to deceased dr. Franjo Tudjman to respond on call from Haag, if he got it while he was alive. Ivo Sanader let to his hawks, Seks, Hebrang and Djakic to take liberties over Denis Latin, Mirko Galic and HTV, in order to possibly instead of Galic on chief position put Miroslav Skoro and to turn the sight of public from Gotovina case on debate about HTV. By the way, Mirko Galic would for ambassadorial position in Paris gladly give up Denis Latin and director wand on HTV. That's why he didn't put any effort to seriously stand on side of his colleague reporters. Single, more serious appearances of delegates Kajin and Pupovac, will not strong enough resound, as it could appearance of President of Croatia Stjepan Mesic, if he decide to involve in this debate. There are all theoretical presumptions for Mesic's involving: he was himself a public bearer of the idea of detudjmanisation and big contributor for realisation the same one, Denis Latin tends to him, what was also recently demonstrated by Latinica about Hrvoje Petrac, Mirko Galic favored Drazen Budisa as a president candidate, but now he urgently needs him as a subscriber of ambassadors' appointment... The appearance in defense of Latinica Mesic could continue by critics to Government because it is not continuing Action plan and not punishing Gotovina's fences, so ask him why it is not submitted criminal charge against Jozo Lauri Grgic, for whom is undoubtly known that he was helping Gotovina in hiding. Mesic could from Main state attorney or Minister of police ask to investigate informations which published Ivica Djikic several times in Feral that Ivo Sanader and Bozidar Kalmeta have given 30.000 € to Boro Gotovina, in presence of Zeljko Dilber, for financing Ante Gotovina's escape. Denis Latin could have known what HDZ is preparing for him, the latest when Tihomir Ladisic was moved. Then there were some whispering about posibility for Latin and his colleagues from editorial board through Sinisa Svilan cross over in NOVA TV. As infromative programme of NOVA TV since the arrest of Gotovina started to behave as it was editing by dr. Ivic Pasalic, I'm afraid that transfer of Latinica on NOVA TV will be hardly realisated.

After Gotovina, Mladic following

2005-12-15T08:46:00.000+01:00

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Saturday, 10th December 2005 Theme of the week: Gotovina case: Is arrest of Mladic following? Srdjan KUSOVAC Why Ante Gotovina is arrested right now? What perceded that? Was operation prepared together intelligence services of several countries including Croatia?is it realistic to expect strengthening of pressure on Serbia? Why would now to Serbia could match arrestment of Ratko Mladic? Is it possible based on some external signes and signals predict possible coming operations?... Zeljko Peratovic is Croatian journalist who is following for years work of intelligence community in his country. Because he wasn't affraid to say his opinion or because he was publishing something that shouldn't be published, once time he lost his job in state's «Vjesnik». Peratovic says for Radio «Slobodna Evropa» that he thinks that exactly during September to Ante Gotovina was suggested to leave Croatia and it was done by chief of Counterintelligence service (POA) Tomislav Karamarko and main state prosecutor of Croatia Mladen Bajic. PERATOVIC: On following way I reconstruct these last events: Considering that even earlier, at the beginning of the year, there were announcements that Croatia should undertake moving general Gotovina form Croatia, on some way persuede him or force him to leave teritory of Croatia and to go to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and then to arrest him EUFOR, I think that something similar happened now. Some deal between him, chief of POA Tomislav Karamarko and main state attorney Mladen Bajic. They probably through some mediators, suggested to leave Croatia at the end of the summer. Probably by some promises he was soothed because he let to be arrested so easily on Canaries. I know only that all this time chief of POA Tomislav Karamarko was in conntact with one of his attorneys, Ivo Farcic. And I also know reliably that general Gotovina didn't call no one of his attorneys, not even his own wife from Madrid. He called only his one reliable friend, whose name is not mentioned in all these headlines till now, about how POA helped in Gotovina's arrest. more on Gotovina Arrested

Text was published on 45 lines on 9th December 2005 Ante Gotovina Till recent, 90 per cent of viewers of TV shows in which was debated about Gotovina and Haag, were declaring that they didn't believe that he was in Croatia. Last night 36 per cent of the viewers of the show Otvoreno voted for not believing that Ante Gotovina was in Croatia till September of this year. It seems that public opinion matures. That is, as the people on example of 14 years long silence about sacrificing of Vukovar, realised that it is no wort of waitinig too long to find out the truth. Petar Stefanic set right referendum question, and better for him would be that he didn't get bigger scor for those who believe that Gotovina till September was hiding in Croatia, because he might at the beginning of his career as a TV anchor live through destiny of his forerunner Tihomir Ladisic. The motive for that question was the statement of Carla Del Ponte in Belgrade:

Since October we stated that we cooperate with Croatia completely and we worked on locating him all the time. But, we couldn't say at the beginning of October what we were doing then, because we wanted Gotovina to be arrested. We can reveal that now», said Del Ponte to the press in Belgrade. «First we determined that he was no longer in Croatia. Not since September of this year. We located him on Canaries. We had to locate exactly where he was and do everything to arrest him. We cooperated with Spain and Croatia, and of course, we have the result», explained the prosecutor...

And before September, Tomislav Karamarko and Mladen Bajic were convincing Carla Del Ponte that Gotovina was in Italy, because there were founded his trousers and some journals with texts about him.

Post was published on 1st June 2005, at 10:49 hours. Did Gotovina after intercourse threw his trousers to carabineers? As the news from Italy were presented to us till now – that Italian police in chase after some criminal found texts from net about Gotovina (I hope it includes texts from 45 lines) and trousers ( in Vecernji list is suggested those were Gotovina's trousers) – all is left to is to conclude that Italian policemen ran on Gotovina, directly after, and maybe in the middle of love act, disturbed him and upseted him, so he threw through window evidences against himself. It seems that to legendary lover, as he was described by Nenad Ivankovic and Ivan Aralica consider him as one, got loosen up his legionary concentracion (which was once time praised by Racan's deputy on position of Prime Minister, Goran Granic). He let because of his anger of being hampered in Holy Croatian Duty (F... everybody, all on the list. Serbian Duty is holding on to the list.) to be revealed that he was hiding in Italy, what suggested a long time ago Franjo Turek, and not in Croatia, as persistently claims Carla Del Ponte. All right, it will go in favour of Mesic, Sanader and Karamarko who will with relief conclude that is no one reason now not to get the date for negotiations (with EU) and that three of them by this are cleaned from every doubt for helping Gotovina in hiding, in way that they don't chase him, that is, not forcing others to chase him. But I'm not sure completely that Italian secret sevices, police, in other words, autorities in general, would stand with crossed hands while Ante Gotovina across The Boot is fucking crisscross, that is, instead of him – caught his hot pants. Whatever we think about Italians, let us not underestimate them so much. If you drop down their stadium Lazio, maybe because of business panic they wouldn't notice that. But some Sclav from eastern side of Adriatic Sea to fuck all by the list, that would they, as the greatest lovers on Mediterranean, and wider, would stop in shorter time then they need to drop down their own government.

And here what Carla Del Ponte has declared one day later, before Mladen Bajic presented her «strong evidences» that Gotovina is in Italy, at that time still of the fugitive, pants:

MAIN HAAG'S PROSECUTOR CARLA DEL PONTE IN VISIT IN CROATIA 2nd June – Prime Minister Ivo Sanader met a little earlier than 17 hours in Baski dvori with main Haag's prosecutor Carla Del Ponte, who is staying in working visit in Croatia on the eve of giving regular report to Security Council of UN on 13th June. After the meeting there is held shared press conference, and main Haag's prosecutor Carla Del Ponte declared in Zagreb that she will the Security Council of UN inform that Croatia with its Action plan completely is dedicated to arrest fugitive general Ante Gotovina and expressed expectation that it wouls be done, but also added that is too soon to say there is full cooperation with ICTY. With Action plan Croatia is fully dedicated to find and arrest Gotovina, and I expect to do that, or to prove that all is done to arrest him. That would be reported to Security Council of UN on 13th June, said Del Ponte.

All participants of that meeting, and Hidajet Biscevic, surely remember that Carla rolled her eyes while Baji was telling he about pants and that she interrupt him with a sentence: Contact me if you have something more serious. At that time Minister Vesna Skare Ozbolt from circles close to chief of POA Tomislav Karamarko and Main State Attorney Mladen Bajic, was declared as weak chain in Action plan. She was ascribed responsibility for leaking of confidential informations about Petrac and Gotovina in public. It was predicted that Ivo Sanader would throw out Skare Ozbolt from the Government as soon as local elections finish. Today Vesna Skare Ozbolt, after they stop to blame her for leaking of confidential informations and not throwing her out of the Government, but imputing her that she will drown DC in HDZ, what is else Sanader's demand towards her, talks in HTV show Otvoreno that Carla Del Ponte to Croatian autorities always was giving wrong informations about Gotovina's residences in Croatia and that Croatian autorities always fully cooperated with Haag and other stuff. And Hido Biscevic, deputy of Minister of foreign affairs and European integrations, noticed that Gotovina's arrest in Spain is a proof that Croatia was cooperating and that after escape in 2001. he was not in Croatia. Even President Mesic in his announcement of one sentence only stated that «this is proof that Gotovina wasn't in Croatia.» After this I can only think that it is a pity that some politicians didn't start to work in circus prestidigitation. At least they would earn for living in more honourable way. Minister of Justice Vesna Skare Ozbolt confirmed to Gordan Malic that on Memorandum of former chief of POA, Franjo Turek, about spreaders of disinformations that Gotovina is in Croatia, but that POA is not chasing him, she saw photos of journalists and ICTY investigators. Minister's party, Democratic center was among first which supported journalist demand for Parliamentary investigation which confirmed journsalists' justified doubt that Franjo Turek slandered them. He slandered me in way that he claimed that I am spreading information that Gotovina in 2003 was on area of middle Adriatic Sea. Namely, Gotovina was there, so Parliamentary Council concluded that my text was true. That knpws well also Ante Markov, previous President of Parliamentary Council which in June 2003. declared that Croatian secret services are in connection with Ante Gotovina. So about what earlier, before September of this year, Croatian cooperation with Carla Del Ponte in Ante Gotovina case, talk Vesna Skare Ozbolt, Hidajet Biscevic, Stjepan Mesic, Vladimir Seks...? For now I don't have enough relevant informations by which I could reconstruct the real cooperation between Karamarko and Bajic with Carla Del Ponte since September of this year... I have a good hunch that the key of enigma how it get to Gotovina's arrest lies in model by which the same in account of Ivo Sanader managed to persuade Gotovina to leave at the end of August Croatia and B&H. Even Ivan Zvonimir Cicak, self-proclaimed friend of Carla Del Ponte, at the beginning of the year wrote about the plan that Croatian authorities don't intend to arrest Gotovina, but on fraud to force him to go to neighbouring B&H, and then to alarm forces of EUFOR to arrest him by helicopter landing. By my preliminary informations Gotovina on Canaries didn't stayed with fake Croatian passport on name Kristijan Horvat, but he used the passport of USA. Fake or not, I do not know. That he left Croatia with passport about which reported already all world media, is totaly impossible story, only if by agreement with Croatian authorities nobody, neither by chance, could ask for his legitimations. If he was using passport on name of Kristijan Horvat in Spain, he would show himself as totaly stupid and imature, at least for average image of former legionnaire. He couldn't count on that Croatian authorities would protect him in Spain. He could only count that they wouldn't rat on him to Spanish, what appeared to be the truth at the end. But he obviously didn't count on that. Disappointment and humiliation are the main features of his character with handcuffs on his hands. Disappointment because he was betrayed by those who were protecting him and humiliation of soldier, because the point of his escape in great part was absorbing from belief that his myth of invincible warrior would collapse as soon as he is seen with handcuffs on his hands. By my conception only the thief should be affraid of handcuffs. The warrior even with handcuffs on his hand can hold with dignity. It is interesting that Gotovina, although he could do that, in first 24 hours of arrestment, didn't call by phone none of his lawyers, not even to his wife. He called from Madrid one his friend and asked him to look for some other lawyers. By informations that 45 lines has at disposal, chief of POA Tomislav Karamarko even at the beginning of summer started to meet with Ivo Farcic from Gotovina's defender's team. Farcic was engaged by Dunja Zloic Gotovina. Maybe some of these illogicality and coincidences, if a bit more light would be put on it, can give answer on question how Gotovina found himself on Canaries, and from it, across Madrid, flew to Haag. Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and intelligence magus Tomislav Karamarko parallelly to delivering of Gotovina to Haag played for domestic audience. Globus in Wednesday published a text about mentioned preparations of assassination on Sanader. Igor Alborghetti and Mark Cigoj mentioned names of three former secret agents: Ivan Mihaljevic, Josko Buljan and Radovan Palmovic, who got fired because they were under suspicion for being connected with group around Z.M. (Zoni Maksan) which namely in 2004 was preparing assassination on Ivo Sanader. This Globus's discovery should serve as a legitimation to Sanader that he as Racan found himself in front of possibility to be killed because he dared to touch in Gotovina's logistics net, and he unlike Racan, made possible Gotovina's arrest. The story by which Globus wants to cover Sanader, Podbevsek and Karamarko is a bit porous, because also Damir Jukica, who namely the information of preparation of assassination on Sanader gave to Josko Podbevsek, has thrown out of POA. If there was some serious involvement of mentioned three man in planning of assassination, they probably would be left in the system longer untill they set all details of the plan and all planners to put in prison, and not only some of them, less important, move away from the job. What is the funniest thing, about cases Buljan and Palmovic, who asked for protection from Council for internal politics and national security, because of doubts that they were close with some persons for whom is doubted to belong to so called Gotovina's circle, they were fired, wrote a few months ago Hrvatski list. Would some serious participants of assassination conspiracy against Prime Minister, and who were till now almost totaly unknown, dared to go out in public with their story, before they are proclamed? I think they wouldn't here! Our politicians can sell fog as «wolf full and kids whole» - as they solve the question of Gotovina, and that they didn't arrest him themselves, and that he since assumed escape at all wasn't here, but that some circles wanted to kill Sanader, and now wouldn't be right to held public protest for Gotovina, although Sanader was appearing on similar meetings from which openly was threated by heath to Mesic and Racan, but now when Carla Del Ponte has in custody, the most handsome of her three the biggest fugitive beasts, no one stopps her to talk about deal with Croatia about positive thinking for starting negotiations with EU. Especially, because Croatian holders of authority blamed her for not being yet, almost when Slovenia, accepted in EU

Hans Dietrich Genscher in Zagreb 1992., after international recognition of Croatia

...Tudjman's longtime Minister, Mate Granic declared that Lord Carrington insisted to stop the action and try with humanitarian convoy, but Hans Dietrich Genscher, Minister of foreign affairs of the country the most inclined to Croatia, said to deceased Tudjman that action had to be stopped so Croatia wouldn't be accused for breaking of truce, and that humanitarian way would accelerate international recognition of Croatia, which was the mostly interceded by Germany. To Hans Dietrich Genscher resolute influence on Tudjman to sacrifice Vukovar in military way because of recognition of Croatia, several years before publicly attributed another Tudjman's longtime Minister, Andrija Hebrang. By that we encircle secondsmall cube of mosaic of sacrificing. The third, and by me, still not enough investigated small cube, but maybe because of that crucial for actual political-judicial events, are relations of foreign and domestic secret services connected with questions of Homeland war 1991. On trial to Tihomir Oreskovic, Mirko Norac and Stjepan Grandic for war crime over civilians of Gospic, mostly Serbs, Josip Manolic as a witness of charge, in function of formal chief of all Tudjman's secret services, declared that German secret service, but also German diplomacy (Hans Dietrich Genscher) were opposing to Croatian leadership for tolerating of crimes in Gospic and convincing him that it would terribly slow down recognition of Croatia...

Bandic For Perkovic

2005-12-04T01:13:00.000+01:00

Josip Perkovic representative of Intelligence agency in Hungary, Ivan Bandic, gave an interview for Globus without consent of his chief Veselko Grubisic

Ivan Bandic

Ivan Bandic, cousin of Zagreb's mayer, Milan Bandic, whom Haag's accused Ivica Rajic called out by name for suppressing of crime in Stupni Dol by order of general Milivoj Petkovic, gave bigger interview for this weeks' Globus denying Rajic's accusation. Bandic gave a line till now less known details about crimes which he ascribed to Ivica Rajic, and as his orderers marked Mladen Naletilic Tuta, Dario Kordic and deceased Mate Boban. Expressly he eliminate responsibility for crimes from another two Haag's accused, retired generals Milivoj Petkovic and Slobodan Praljak. The interview with Ivan Bandic was made by Gordan Malic, the close one with accused from German APB, Josip Perkovic. That's why it is not strange that in conversation about war crimes in B&H appeared the question is it truth that Boze Vukusic has kidnapped former Mostar's leader of UDBA, Ivan Lasic, who is a witness against Josip Perkovic?

Nikola Kristo

Ivan Bandic confirmed that, adding that Vukusic said that he was dealing with such investigations by order of Vice Vukojevic. Interesting, cousin of Zagreb's mayer also mentioned that Nikola Kristo, who namely has summon on deceased Minister of Defense of Croatia, Gojko Susak, has been dealing with kidnapping of former UDBA men in Herzegovina. That could mean that Josip Perkovic, through Ivan Bandic enters in open war with his former associates, authors of fantastic memorandum of SIS, Nikola Kristo, Antonio Lekic, Ivan Drvis, Miro Laco... Ivan Bandic mentioned that he didn't believe in truthfulness of testimony of Lasic against Perkovic, considering that he was kidnapped. Indicative that Ivan Bandic, who for himself addmits that he by the end of 80's of last century got a job in II administration (responsible for enemy emigration) of Mostar UDBA, denies information from memoirs of Mate Granic, who wrote that deceased cardinal Franjo Kuharic told him that Mladen Naletilic Tuta was cooperator with Counterintelligence service (KOS) of JNA (Yugoslav National Army). Formerly Senad Avdic in Slobodna Bosna published a document of former Yugoslav federal police by which Mladen Naletilic Tuta was their cooperator, on direct line with at that time Minister of Yugoslav police, Petar Gracanin. Bandic's covering of Tuta's cooperation with Yugoslav secret services (whether with KOS or UDBA) goes in favor to Josip Perkovic, because with that is eliminated possibility that Perkovic as chief of Susak's military counterintelligence service SIS knew who Tuta was when Tuta came to Croatia from emigration in Germany. With Bandic's covering is tried to avoid the possibility for public to find out that Veselin Marinov, who came with Tuta from Germany, was double agent: Bulgarian and Yugoslav secret police. Namely, only in that way can be understand why Veselin Marinov, after Tuta was arrested in 1997. in Croatia, accepted to tell everything about crimes which was done by Mladen Naletilic Tuta and members of his of his Convict battalion, including Marinov himself, during the war in B&H, to Perkovic (author of HIS's operation Baracuda).

Jasna Babic

Even Jasna Babic concealled those facts in her book Zagreb's mob, based on Perkovic's documents from action Barakuda, also in chapter where he said that Marinov as an agent of Bulgarian secret service, namely spied Mladen Naletilic Tuta in Germany. By all informations and indications which I collected, and Mladen Naletilic Tuta and Veselin Marinov were double agents. Marinov – Yugoslav and Bulgarian, Mladen Naletilic Tuta – German and Yugoslav. To Franjo Tudjman, Gojko Susak and Josip Perkovic suited using such men (who could be blackmailed) in war in B&H. The problem came only when they got out of control, as it could be seen earlier in Tuta's rampaging across B&H, or rebellion of Stedul's men against Josip Perkovic. Jasna Babic who promoted Ivan Bandic in her book «Blaskic Conspiracy» as agent of HIS, who greatly contributed in defense of general Blaskic by spying in Haag workers of prosecution and international court, and in Saturday in Slobodna Dalmacija is written that there would be no evidence that Josip Perkovic was involved in liquidation of Stjepan Djurekovic. Jasna Babic is led by thesis characteristic for media manipulations which used Anto Nobilo, that lawyers of Krunoslav Prates (by Germans accused that he gave keys of garage to Josip Perkovic in wher Djurekovic was killed) could prove that the killers entered on back door, so that's why it isn't important did Perkovic got keys from his associate Prates. Manipulation is in following: Babic admits that Prates was Perkovic's cooperator, but unfoundedlly claims that she has information about actions of lawyers of Krunoslav Prates. Anyway, she doesn't mention at all who are Prates's lawyers. By information which I heard the other day in VIP netcafe on Petar Preradovic Square, German police two weeks ago arrested another Prates's cooperator and associate of Josip Perkovic, by origin from Osijek and the owner of Bosnian and Herzegovinean passport. A man could get an impression that Babic's text and Malic's interview before anything directed on making fog around Josip Perkovic case, and sending messages to everybody: from Stedul men, through Croatian government, to Krunoslav Prates, that father of counselor of President of Croatia for national security, is ready to violately defense himself through his men in intelligence system of Croatia and his journalists. Namely, Perkovics family tried to use recent visit of President of Croatia to Germany and staying in Croatian embassy in Berlin at ambassador Vesna Cvjetkovic Kurelec, to from there acredditted officer for connection of Intelligence agency with BND, find out what are further steps of German judicature in question of indictment against Josip Perkovic. There was an idea that President Stjepan Mesic personally support by German authorities not to insist on processing of Perkovic, but the advice from embassy in Berlin came, that such Mesic's move by German autorities would be understood as strictly antidiplomatic and antidemocratic, considering that in Germany executive government doesn't interfere in work of judicature, as it is custom in Croatia. At the end, out of all diplomatic customs is public appearance of Ivan Bandic, who is in Hungary officialy on position of general consul of Croatia in Pecs and at the same time he is acredditted officer for connection of Intelligence agency with Hungarian intelligence community. If there was any need to protect Bandic's diplomatic-intelligence status in Hungary from accusations of Ivica Rajic, the Ministry of foreign affairs of Croatia and Intelligence agency could send diplomatic mail in Budapest, by which to Hungarian authorities would be explained what was it all about. Nevertheless, I found out from circles close to Ministry of police, Ivan Bandic didn't wait for protection from master house in Croatia and without permission of his the most superior, chief of OA (IA), Veselko Grubisic, gave an interview for Globus, by what he directly endangered his diplomatic-intelligence status. For reminds is that Dutch police, at the end of 90's arrested Ivan Bandic because under mask of diplomat spied in Netherlands. Jasna Babic in her book «Blaskic Conspiracy» that Bandic's arrestment showed as meanness of Markica Rebic and his SIS people, Stipan Udiljak and Marin Ivanovic, who by that obstructed defense of general Blaskic. It stays unknown, how on Bandic's discreddittation of intelligence community looks by himself close journalists, future and formal chief of all Croatian spies, Tomislav Karamarko.

James Bond des Balkans

2005-11-13T20:38:00.000+01:00

WDR-3 - Radio 11.11.2005 19:45 TagesZeichen James Bond des Balkans Vlado Konstantinovic entwickelt kroatisch/deutsche Geheimdienstverflechtungen Anmoderationsvorschlag: Daß ein Geheimdienstchef die Fahndungsliste eines befreundeten Staates ziert, ist kaum vorstellbar. Und doch steht seit wenigen Tagen der Name des pensionierten kroatischen Leiters der Spionageabwehr Josip Perkovic obenauf in der Hitliste der meistgesuchten Personen des deutschen Bundeskriminalamtes. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, vor 22 Jahren an der Ermordung des Exilkroaten Stjepan Djurekovic in Wolfrathshausen beteiligt gewesen zu sein. Und es kommt noch schlimmer: ganze 5 000 Belohnung werden als Kopfgeld für den seinerzeit gefeierten kroatischen James Bond ausgesetzt. Die Schmach kam um so überraschender, als Josip Perkovic während des Krieges in den neunziger Jahren zu den deutschen Geheinmdiensten BKA und BND beste Beziehungen unterhalten haben soll. Ein ehemaliger Kollege Perkovics aus dem alten jugoslawischen Geheimdienst war bereit, mit Vlado Konstantinovic über die Verwicklungen der Schlapphüte in Deutschland und auf dem Balkan zu plaudern.

Ex UDBA chef Bozidar Spasic und sein Buch

Bozidar Spasic :

Wir haben den kroatischen Ustasa-Terrorismus mit allen Mitteln bekämpft, das sage ich offen: ich war für die psychologischen und die propagandistischen Maßnahmen zuständig. Wir haben gegen sie alles eingesetzt, was uns zur Verfügung stand. Die deutsche Geheimpolizei hat darüber ganze Ordner in ihren Archiven. Aber unsere besten Mitarbeiter zur Eliminierung der kroatischen Ustasa-Terroristen kamen eben aus Kroatien. So zum Beispiel JOSIP PERKOVIC, der spätere Leiter der kroatischen Spionageabwehr in Zagreb. Wir haben zusammen viele geheime Aktionen auf deutschem Boden ausgeführt."

Bozidar Spasic, pensionierter Chefinspektor der Antiterrorismusabteilung des ehemaligen Bundesjugoslawischen Geheimdienstes UDBA, über seinen früheren Kollegen Josip Perkovic und den Agentenkrieg mit Exilkroaten in Deutschland. Der Mord an Stjepan Djurekovic 1983 in Wolfrathshausen bei München gilt als eine der spektakulärsten ungeklärten Operationen, die dem jugoslawischen Geheimdienst zugeschrieben werden. Das Opfer wurde durch mehrere Schüsse aus nächster Nähe exekutiert und durch Axthiebe verunstaltet. Die deutsche Polizei hatte den jugoslawischen Geheimdienst in Verdacht, konnte jedoch bisher keine schlüssige Spur aufweisen. Die Jugoslawen ihrerseits behaupteten, es müsse sich um eine interne Abrechnung der kroatischen Unterwelt handeln. Wer war Stjepan Djurekovic? Der Marketingchef des größten jugoslawischen Ölkonzerns INA tauchte 1982 in München auf und wurde als Überläufer stolz präsentiert. Im damals noch heißen Kalten Krieg war der Mann ein Geheimnisträger höchster Güte: er verfügte über genaue Pläne zur Kraftstoffversorgung der Jugoslawischen Volksarmee. Obwohl er unter Observation der jugoslawischen Spionageabwehr stand, gelang es dem BND, ihn anzuwerben und nach Deutschland zu schleusen. Djurekovic wurde als Verleger antijugoslawischer Publikationen aktiv und tauchte im exilkroatischen Milieu unter. Viele kroatische Faschisten, die Ustasa, hatten nach der Niederlage Hitlers Zuflucht in der Bundesrepublik gefunden. Für den Hitler-General Reinhard Gehlen, den Gründer des Bundesnachrichtendienstes, waren sie als Antikommunisten im Kalten Krieg mehr als willkommen. Der geheime kroatische Agentenring in Deutschland wuchs ständig durch politische Emigration. Auch die Neuankämmlinge aus Kroatien wurden von deutschen Geheimdiensten angeworben, ausgebildet und eingesetzt. Die Exilkroaten beschränkten sich aber nicht lediglich darauf, Jugoslawien auszuspionieren. Ihre Terrorkommandos verübten zahlreiche Anschläge auf jugoslawische Vertretungen in Deutschland. In Belgrad und in Zagreb ließen sie auf Bahnhöfen und in Kinos Bomben hochgehen. Die Antwort des jugoslawischen Geheimdienstes war nicht weniger brutal: in die Emigrantenkreise eingeschleuste Agenten verübten zweidutzend Attentate auf Exil-Kroaten in Deutschland. Das Morden auf deutschen und auf jugoslawischen Straßen sollte ein Ende finden. Die beiden Staaten vereinbarten Ende der siebziger Jahre eine gemeinsame Terrorismusbekämpfung. Doch die Kooperation litt an eben jenem chronischen Mißtrauen, auf dem die Arbeit der Schlapphüte ohnehin basiert: jede Seite wollte die andere abschöpfen das heißt herausfinden, wieviel der neue Partner von eigenen V-Leuten in seinen Reihen weiß, um sie besser beschützen zu können. Also galt es für die deutschen Geheimdienste, auch den prominenten Überläufer Stjepan Djurekovic aus der Schußlinie zu halten. Doch ausgerechnet sein Unterschlupf in den extremen kroatischen Kreisen, der ihn schützen sollte, wurde ihm zum Verhängnis. Die Jugoslawen hatten bereits einen Maulwurf in seiner Umgebung plaziert. Zwanzig Jahre später nennt Bozidar Spasic die damalige jugoslawische Politführung als Auftraggeber des Mordes. Für sie sei Djurekovic "ein legitimes Ziel in der Terrorbekämpfung gewesen. Die geheime Operation DONAU lief im Frühsommer 1983 auf drei Ebenen ab: Djurekovics Image wurde durch gezielte Desinformationen in der kroatischen Szene demontiert, um eine falsche Fährte für die spätere Fahndung zu legen; durch V-Leute in seiner Umgebung wurden seine Gewohnheiten ermittelt und es wurde ein fünfköpfiges Exekutionskommando aneghheuert und vorbereitet. Der jugoslawische Agentenführer Josip Perkovic soll die Operation auf der Exekutivebene geleitet haben - dieses will auch das BKA 22 Jahre später ermittelt haben. Doch Perkovic hatte inzwischen eine grundliegende Kehrtwende gemacht. Bozidar Spasic erinnert sich:

- Josip Perkovic wurde Ende der achziger Jahre in Deutschland verhaftet, als er mit einem unserer Agenten Verbindung aufnehmen wollte. Die deutsche Spionageabwehr hatte davon Wind bekommen und Perkovic ist aufgeflogen als er dem Agenten Geld für einen Bericht übergeben wollte. Perkovic saß dann zwei- drei Wochen in Haft und sollte wegen Spionage vor Gericht gestellt werden. Da wir damals einen deutschen Agenten in Belgrad festhielten, haben wir den Austausch organisiert. Der spätere Verlauf seiner Karriere in den neunziger Jahren hat unsere Vermutungen bekräftigt: Perkovic wurde von den Deutschen umgedreht. Er hatte seitdem außerordentlich gute Beziehungen zu ihren Geheimdiensten.

In der ersten reihe : Franjo Tudjman und Josip Perkovic (1992)

In der Tat: Während des Krieges in Kroatien avancierte Josip Perkovic bei Franjo Tudjman zum Chef der Spionageabwehr. Er prahlte offen, mit deutscher Hilfe ganze NVA-Arsenale - trotz des Waffenembargos nach Kroatien geschmuggelt zu haben. In seinem Stab versammelte er Exilkroaten aus Deutschland eben diejenigen BKA- und BND-Schützlinge, die er früher als jugoslawischer Geheimdienstler bekämpfte. Grund genug, sich als Freund und Mitarbeiter der deutschen Kollegen die ganzen Jahre sicher zu fühlen, zumal er auch über ihre Machenschaften berichten könnte. Nun kann der pensionierte kroatische Schlapphut partout nicht begreifen, warum ausgerechnet das BKA nach ihm via Interpol fahndet. Über die möglichen Ursachen kursieren selbst im notorisch intriganten kroatischen Geheimdienstmilieu lediglich vage Vermutungen. Und die deutschen Ermittlungsbehörden wollen im laufenden Verfahren dazu noch keine Stellung beziehen. Josip Perkovic weist seine Verantwortung für den Mord natürlich zurück. Bisher konnte er sich auf eine schützende Hand in Kroatien verlassen: Sasa Perkovic, sein eigener Sohn, ist nämlich Sicherheitsberater des amtierenden kroatischen Präsidenten. Dennoch ist Josip Perkovic vorsichtshalber erst einmal untertaucht.

Präsident Stjepan Mesics Berater: Tomislav Jakic und Sasa Perkovic (2005)

Kroatische Justizbehörden können kroatische Staatsbürger ins Ausland nicht ausliefern so ist das Gesetz. Sie bieten an, einen Prozeß in Kroatien zu organisieren. Falls es dazu kommt, kann Josip Perkovic kaum mit Entlassungszeugen rechnen:

- Zwei damalige deutsch-jugoslawische Doppelagenten haben bereits gegen ihn ausgesagt. Andererseits sind sowohl die jugoslawischen Politiker - die Auftraggeber des Mordes - als auch die mutmaßlichen Exekutoren inzwischen alle tot. Perkovic muß sich in Acht nehmen: nicht nur vor der deutschen Justiz sondern auch vor seinen alten Kollegen aus Deutschland und - aus Belgrad. Sie haben immer noch geheime Berichte in ihren Archiven, mit pikanten Details über Operationen des jugoslawischen Geheimdienstes im Ausland.

Bozidar Spasic meint immerhin, sich für den Diensteifer seines ehemaligen Kollegen Perkovic im Agentenkrieg gegen Exilkroaten verbürgen zu können:

Ich würde für ihn meine Hand ins Feuer legen, zumindest bis 1989 hat er die Ustasa-Emigranten mit seiner ganzen Kraft bekämpft, außerordentlich zuverlässig und zielgenau.

For Croatia is bad what by raising of arrest warrant in Wiesbaden against Perkovic indirectly is accused all political top since 1990. at the head with the President Franjo Tudjman and general Gojko Susak. Because, also Tudjman knew for not so clean past of Josip Perkovic... Marijan Majstorovic, Fokus, 04.11.2005

This is the thinking of representative of rigid rightist commentator and they hit into the substance of the thing. Tudjman and Susak knew for what is Perkovic capable of and they thought if his services were good to comunists, would also be good for them. Is it odd that for Tudjman and Susak all till our time happens murders in UDBA style for which, in this or that way, is connected name of Josip Perkovic. Let's say, Josip Perkovic has about half an hour before the murder of Ante Paradzik, put on combative uniform and together with his assisstant Zoran Udiljak (brother of Stipan Udiljak, later spy of Markica Rebic) went out on a terrain. Zoran Udiljak in 1992. has died in suspicious circummstances while he was driving in his car to Kupres with Milenko Filipovic, former legionnaire, today put in lines of helpers of Ante Gotovina.

Milenko Filipovic (on the right) in company of Ante Gotovina on some lecture (source:antegotovina.com

Perkovic was Susak's assisstant Minister of Defense, who founded also commanding line in HVO (Croatian Council of Defense), and which can be considered as responsible for murder of chief of HOS (Croatian Defense Forces) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, general Blaz Kraljevic. His men were Bruno Stojic and Valentin Coric. Mario Barisic was present when Tvrtko Pasalic, by order of Josip Perkovic named Valentin Coric for chief of Military police of HVO (Croatian Council of Defense). Josip Perkovic said himself on trial to Gospic group in Rijeka that he was the main logistic person of Stedul group, by which in quasi action at the end of July 1991. near Miranje Donje, was killed only Miro Baresic. Antonio Lekic and Ivica Drvis, 13 days after the dying of Miro Baresic, sent a report exactly to Josip Perkovic, with conclusion that there were no suspicious moments which would indicate it was a betrayal. If we skip about ten years and stop on the murder of his associate of HIS, Veselin Marinov, we must ask ourselves isn't it odd that he was the last person with whom the deceased had the last conntact and who directed Bugar to go to cafẻ where he was killed by Vinko Zuljevic Klica, as once wrote Mario Kavajin. His name and work covered contemporary Croatian history. By the end of 90-ties, chief editor of Vjesnik, Nenad Ivankovic was publishing a series of UDBA files, by what found themselves offended, among others, Vladimir Seks and Ivan Zvonimir Cicak. Vladimir Seks knew instantly that behind that labour was his at that time mad rival on utmost HDZ right wing, Ivic Pasalic, who was serviced by Markica Rebic. Besides on Seks, Pasalic and Rebic, Nenad Ivankovic in book with the key Sova, as on protagonists of that affaire, alludes also on Mate Granic, Hrvoje Sarinic, Miroslav Separovic, Zdravko Pejic, and of course, on Josip Perkovic. Ivanka Toma in 2000. in Jutarnji list presented Analysis of activity of Service for national security of Croatia, which by order of Vladimir Seks and HDZ (Croatian democratic party) was made by Josip Perkovic and former archivist of UDBA, Jan Garbis. In that analysis, with which Seks and HDZ were very pleased, not in one word was mentioned responsibility of UDBA for any murders or abuse. HDZ paid fee to Perkovic to amnest himself and a part of them from dark past. That analysis, as an journalist exclusive, was offered to me by Zdravko Pejic and Josip Perkovic, when I met them in December 1998. in motel Plitvicka kuca, so the offer as a contradictory idea by itself (for UDBA men could give objective analysis of their past?), refused. Perkovic's spokeperson, journalist of Slobodna Dalmacija, Jasna Babic, nicely writes in her book The Blaskic Conspiracy that establishing top of HDZ in Osijek had in whole cooperation status with UDBA, translated Perkovic. The same thing she repeated recently in short biography incentive of German APB:

In former Yugoslavia, Josip Perkovic, by origin profession an economist, went through path from Osijek branch office of National security to chief of republic department for emigration he made such huge agentury net that he survived the most drastic personnel cleanings after break of Yugoslavia. Perkovic's informers was even among founders of Osijek's HDZ, who had leading role in instalation of Franjo Tudjman for chief of the party. The year 1990. Perkovic has returned emigrants «smuggled» to Croatian first HDZ convention . Gojko Susak, returnee from Canada, has chosen him for founder and first chief of SIS. In spite of fraction duels with Josip Manolic, SIS at that time recorded rather big success: in action «Labrador» the spy net of KOS was broken, who infiltrated in lines of Croatian police and Croatian army. Retired after Susak's death, he stayed active as externalo cooperator of HIS. His the most famous spy action «Barakuda», directed against narco dealers, smuggleres of weapons and organised crime in Croatian army and Croatian Council of Defense. In private life he withdraws in 2000., in time of Racan's Government, who didn't want his services. But his son, Sasa Perkovic, is still an active intelligence agent. Jasna Babic, Slobodna Dalmacija, Saturday, 29.10.2005

That's why I'm not surprised by grumbling of Branimir Glavas:

Two nights ago, in HTV show «Otvoreno», in which was spoken about German APB after Josip Perkovic, activity of UDBA in 70-ties and later years, and transfer of UDBA people to intelligence services, had also interesting background. Namely, about 15 minutes before the end of the show, in its editorial office contacted Branimir Glavas wanting to participate in debate. I presented myself by name and surname, and on question what would I talk about, I said that I would defend Josip Perkovic, because I know him perosnally since the childhood. I was told to wait, but after 15 minutes the show finished, and the telephone connection was cut off, explained Branimir Glavas. He thinks that they didn't let him enter the show because he wanted to give his support to Perkovic. Also he added that the goal of the guests of that show praising their roles in founding the state, and minorising those of Perkovic.

If my memory serves me well, Branimir Glavas once time praised that he suggested Dr. Franjo Tudjman for President of HDZ, so by Perkovic's spokeperson, Jasna Babic, Glavas is Perkovic's cooperator from time of UDBA. After all, Glavas in his autobiography praised that as juvenile he drew in Osijek graffities Long live NDH, and on public gatherings he has sung Ustasha songs. At that time Perkovic was chief of Osijek's UDBA. Glavas doesn't mention that because his provocative mischief police ever took him to custody, and not even to had any problems with UDBA at that time, what only confirms that he as a juvenile praised NDH by order of Osijek's chief of UDBA, Josip Perkovic. That is the real face of Glavas's acquaintance with Perkovic since the childhood. My Osijek informers are convincing me that Branimir Glavas, if against him would be raised accusations because of murders of civilians in 1991., he would ask for a witness Josip Perkovic. For example, connected with mureder of Cedomir Vuckovic, in circle of his war headquarters, for which accuses him Krunoslav Fehir, Glavas intents to defense himself by statement that in that time he was on telephone line with Josip Perkovic. Branimir Glavas knows that Perkovic has strong influence on present chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko, who is best man with Osijek's chief of police, Vladimir Faber, and through coming on to Perkovic, he intends to make influence on Faber to make actual investigation more loose about war crimes in his zone of responsibility. It is interesting that till recently the most boisterous public witness against Branimir Glavas, Vjenceslav Bill, who went quiet suddenlly, by his own testimony to the author of 45 lines, he has positive attitude of Josip Perkovic from time of his juvenile-deliquency youth.

- In one occasion, after I had huge problems with the police, I met Perkovic on the street. Our mothers were neighbours, so he knew about my problems and he told me that he was sorry that he didn't know before what was going on with me and that he would stop it, told me last summer Vjenceslav Bill.

Marko Erceg, former OZN man, and by Tihomir Oreskovic, agent of BND, doesn't think bad about Josip Perkovic. Th friendship with Perkovic, Erceg made stronger through their mutual friend, Ante Nobilo.

To Josip Perkovic even nongovernmental area showed a respect. By testimony of one close cooperator of Ivan Zvonimir Cicak, during affaire with files published in Vjesnik, at that time President of HHO, praised that he asked Josip Perkovic did UDBA had anything about him, and Perkovic namely answered negative. Now when I see that Ivan Zvonimir Cicak took against Tihomir Ladisic because he didn't let in show Otvoreno phone entering of Branimir Glavas, and even I remember that Cicak made Drago Hedl to leave HHO (Croatian Helsinki Committee) because Branimir Glavas asked that from him, I freeze from the conclusion that teenage sins of Cicak and Glavas are mediated by faith in fatherly authority of Josip Perkovic, so strong connection between two of them that even ideologicaly opposite ideoligical positions from maturity, can't do any harm.

Josip Perković in Institute for State safety in Belgrade, photographed in company of colleagues top-graded functionaries of SDS/SDB, obligated for «work in Croatia, enemy emigration». The identity of a person whose face is darkened is unknown. On left to right: P. Djordjevic, Josip Perkovic, Ivan Lasic, Stanko Colak and Bozidar Spasic. (The anonymus source whose this photograph is, says that the photo was taken in 1989. when Stanko Colak was going to retirement. The owner of weekly magazine Ivo Pukanic «Nacional» in one e-mail writes that the photo was taken in 1986. when P. Djordjevic was going to retirement.)

Seventy per cent of listeners of Radio 101 voted in survey whether Josip Perkovic should be delivered to Germany or to put him on trial in Croatia for participating in murders of Croatian emigrants in Germany, that he should be delivered. By my evaluation, it is the result of distrust in Croatian judicial system. Else Croatia is not ready to face with dark part of its past. If there were no international pressure, no trial to Dinko Sakic for crimes in Jasenovac during Second World War , wouldn't be held. Considering that nobody from international community didn't make pressure about partizan crimes, after the war till today not a single trial was held on that theme. If ICTY doesn't exist, nobody would be put on trial even for war crimes during Homeland war. Let's put on a side silly actions against all those who were during the war on occupied area. If Germany is not world example how to deal with its own history from Second World War, but also from time of DDR, and if UDBA didn't kill the most Croatian emigrants exactly in Germany, never would Josip Perkovic found himself in situation to be put on a trial for crimes of UDBA. The trial to Vinko Sindicic for murder of Bruno Busic, in the very beginning was a farce exception. The citizens don't have confidence in Croatian government when it is about Josip Perkovic, it is also possible because of statement of Zlatko Mehun, the spokeperson of police, that police didn't get anything from Interpol connected with Perkovic, so the headlines in medias are APB before APB. It seems that nobody in police can't get on Internet, so they couldn't see German international APB after Perkovic. Jasna Babic in todays Slobodna Dalmacija consider relative German accusations against Josip Perkovic as an «intelligence war», «the conflict of Bozo Vukusic with Josip Perkovic». It is the thesis which several months ago was used by Gordan Malic in Globus, emphasizing that it is the conflict of BND with MI6 for «intelligence dominance in Croatia». Jasna Babic has lots of reasons to take in protection Perkovic because on documents which he was in conntact to, she wrote her books: Zagreb's Mob and Blaskic Conspiracy. Veselin Marinov, on whose reports she based Zagreb's Mob, as she said herself in her book, was a personal assisstant of Josip Perkovic, at that time counselor in HIS (Croatian informative service). Perkovic named action of HIS, Barakuda, which was based on reports of Veselin Marinov. He, through Djurdja Susak, with whom he was extremely close when he got a job in HIS, persuaded her husband to take Ante Nobilo for lawyer defender of Tihomir Blaskic. As a result of engagement Nobilo and Perkovic in Blaskic case, Babic's book Blaskic Conspiracy emerged.

Gordan Malic beliefs for years to informations of Josip Perkovic. He is meritorious for Sasa Perkovic, son of the accused one of German state lawyer, found himself in position of counselor of President of Croatia for national security. As soon as Malic published that Presentation of Franjo Turek to the top of the state was dealing with Josip and Sasa Perkovic, President Mesic hired Sasa on position of his counselor, and discard all objections on actions of Perkovic senior:

*Your new counselor for security Sasa Perkovic, whose father is Josip Perkovic, also experienced intelligence person. Does it mean that you will concentrate more on work of intelligence cervices in second mandate? -Josip Perkovic after first democratic elections joined in intelligence services, formated Croatian intelligence service and retired. There were thse who doubted in his good intentions, but nothing could ever be said against him. His son is well educated and he worked in services which qualifies him to be my counselor. Because I need advice about functioning of institutions, and that could be the one who comes out of it. I can't follow everything, and the Constitution says that my duty is to take care of functioning of institutions in the state. Jasmina Popovic, Vecernji list, 25.02.2005

When Sasa Perkovic was named for counselor of President of Croatia, Ranko Ostojic, former chief of Ministry of police and present member of Management of Slobodna Dalmacija, greeted that Mesic's move by message to the author of 45 lines: - Sasa is the best proof that what he is in Presentation becomes advantage. Ranko Ostojic with Sasa Perkovic, while he was in position of assisstant of chief of HIS was in visit to Hrvoje Petrac in Austria, before the tycoon who was looked for in 2001./2002. because informations connected with murder of Vjeko Slisko, appeared in police for a informative conversation. Jasna Babic in her book Zagreb's Mob emphasized great credits of Ranko Ostojic for right approach to problem of organized crime in Croatia. While Ranko Ostojic was chief of police, Mario Barisic on first trial for war crimes in Lora as responsible one among others he said the name of Josip Perkovic. Barisic even during investigation which was led by Split state lawyer, Mladen Bajic, said that Tvrtko Pasalic, Barisic's chief in Military police, called Josip Perkovic, the assisstant of Minister of defense, Gojko Susak in Zagreb and asked him what to do with massacred war prisoners, considering that International Red Cross announced their visit. By testimony of Mario Barisic, Josip Perkovic gave a command to Tvrtko Pasalic to cover up the crime in way to massacred ones transfer to another military prisons in Sibenik, Zadar, Kerestinec.

The witness mentioned 14 and 15 April when the IRC representatives visited Lora asking for the permission to enter the military prison because they found out about the unregistreted prisoners captured there. This caused panic so before the IRC representatives entered Lora, Josip Perkovic, Assisstant Minister of Defense in charge of SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) had ordered the transfer of the prisoners. Stanko Feric and Marijo Kavain, Jutarnji list, 15.03.2001

By claims of Mario Barisic to the author of 45 lines Ranko Ostojic didn't give adequate protection to the witness for Lora. Considering that appeared that Ranko Ostojic cooperated with Josip Perkovic and his son, it is clear why he nothing ever undertake against Perkovic senior, and based on testimony of Mario Barisic. It is unclear how to Josip Perkovic would behave Main state lawyer Mladen Bajic if Germans let the acctual case on process in Croatia. Namely, Mladen Bajic had cognitions that Josip Perkovic as Assisstant Minister of Defense in Lora case covered up the crimes, what is punishable by our Laws, not only by ICTY statute, so he didn't accused him for that. By records which were published by Nacional, supposed British agent Christopher Looms, in conversation with Gordan Malic, showed interest for those two, junior and senior. Judging by later Malic's statements that BND wants to disturb MI6 which by help of Josip Perkovic, looks for Ante Gotovina, Malic and Looms by mentioning those two, junior and senior, were talking about Sasa and Josip Perkovic. I believe in German judicature and I don't share opinion of Jasna Babic and Gordan Malic that it involved in certain intelligence games. Intelligence games can pass only on Balkans, where beginning with Romania, through Bulgaria, Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, finally with Croatia, former comunist chiefs of secret polices are still strongly present in political life. The lawyer Ante Nobilo, who with Josip Perkovic closely cooperated even during trial to Andrija Artukovic, claimed today for Radio 101 that Perkovic is his good friend and that he will, most likely, defense him on trial, if the process start in Croatia. Nobilo with a smile confirmed that Perkovic is in Croatia at the moment. Journal 24 sata without naming the source, gives Perkovic's picture in company of Gojko Susak and Mate Lausic, from one of my web stations. They also give picture of elite district in which Perkovic namely lives, so instead of Zelengaj 67, they take photograph of Srebrnjak where Dunja Zloic Gotovina lives. By lobbies informations from Haag, ICTY is interested to get new confirmations of informations that Ante Nobilo brought out from the court protected testimonies of Netherland soldier of SFOR and Stjepan Mesic's in Blaskic case. Also, namely Haag's prosecution asks for renewal of process against Tihomir Blaskic, after they got enough strong informations about existance of Blaskic's command for war crime in his area of responsibility. Namely, Haag's prosecution have enough convincing evidences that for the command knew Ante Nobilo, his expert assisstant Josip Perkovic, Markica Rebic, chief of SIS, and his associate Stipan Udiljak. So, it is ilusion to expect that ICTY, no matter supposed cooperation of Josip Perkovic and Christopher Looms, would be ready to whether in front of Croatian or German autorities, in any way give support to Josip Perkovic, who is now accused for participating in murders in Germany during 70-ties and 80-ties of last millenium. If Josip Perkovic with help of Ante Nobilo, and later Ranko Ostojic and Mladen Bajic, till now managed to avoid the trial bench in Haag, it is absolutely clear that ICTY has no reason to protect him. Contrary, there are indications that Haag's investigators got additional evidences about his involvement in war crimes in Croatia. As undoubtly main chief of UDBA union, the most resilient and the most influential informal association in Croatia, Josip Perkovic besides his own son, on relevant positions in intelligence community placed all his men. The chief of POA, by his own ambition future formal chief of all Croatian spies, Tomislav Karamarko, is under great influence of Josip Perkovic. By writing of Jasna Babic, Perkovic's players are Ivan Bandic, the officer for connection in OA (intelligence agency) in Hungary and Gordan Akrap, representative of OA in Berlin. Gordan Akrap is by Jasna Babic formaly led action Barakuda, and in 2001./2002. he was chief of branch office of OA in München. Although Akrap is at the moment in Berlin in charge for relations with BND, considering that Germans already accused Perkovic, he can't help him any more, and recomendation that he is Perkovic's man, can only hinder him in relations with the country where he is a guest. By taking over SIS and Military police from hands of Dragutin Franciskovic and Ivan Grbavac Cobra, Josip Perkovic among other things made great friends in onetime Military hospital on Dubrava. So he got place of honour on web site of Clinical hospital Dubrava:

On suggestion and initiative of Crisis command of VBZ, President of Republic, dr. Franjo Tudjman with associates (president of the Government of Croatia, dr. Franjo Greguric, vicepresident of the Government, prof.dr.sc. Mate Granic, chief of Main headquarters of Croatian Military, general Anton Tus, Assisstant Minister of Defense, brigadier Josip Perkovic, commander of Main Headquarters of medical service of Croatia, general-major, prim.dr. Ivo Prodan, academician prof.dr. Zdenko Skrabalo, who was in charge for all conntacts with Crisis headquarters and counselor of President, prof.dr.sc. Slaven Letica) founds a resolution that by receiving patients in hospital and by continuation of work of policlinic, hospital guards physically, but also defends with weapons if needed. History and development of Clinical hospital Dubrava

Through all this time he stayed in good relations with Ivo Prodan and onetime chief of hospital, dr. Petar Brinar, father of Maja Brinar, known by her marrige with a lot older Israel businessman. It is assumed that through those connections, after election changes in 2000. in position of chief of security in hospital he placed his associate even in emigration, and later colonel in SIS, Tomislav Micic. By Zvonimir Despot in Vecernji list, Germans are suspecting Perkovic that he in 1977. as an operative man of UDBA, under pen-name Tomo Novakovic, from his onetime associator Josip Miler (escaped to BND, also as Josip Majerski later), bringing him a gun and 60.000 DEM in Switzerland, asked to kill emigrants Frane Goreta and Stjepan Bilandzic. About that there are firm evidences available to German autorities even from that time. Josip Miler died meanwhile, but as former emigrant Tomo Sedlo claims, behind him is left testimony on video tape. About that part of accusations on Perkovic's account, the most interesting will be testimony of Frane Goreta. After series of my texts about crimes in which participated members of SIS and Military police, by interwiev in Globus in 1999. to colleague Mark Cigoj, for crimes spoke called by name officer of SIS, Frane Goreta, discarding all accusations on his account and praised amply Josip Perkovic, from whom he got the job in SIS after arrival from emigration. In which way Frane Goreta from Perkovic's victim (by German APB) became Perkovic's good associate in SIS (by his own cognition), he will get an opportunity to explain himself – whether on trial in Germany or in Croatia, if in Zagreb Josip Perkovic will ever be accused. P.S. It is not clear to me by which logic was led HINA giving the news yesterday about German APB against Perkovic, quoting that also journal of Croats in diaspora, Croatian Herald, wrote about German investigation connected with murder of Stjepan Djurekovic. Namely, Croatian Herlad is known and relevant as much as Mate Basic who editors it. And in his text, which you can read under title The leader of UDBA and SIS under German investigation, there is nothing that was not somewhere else, so I can only conclude that Mate Basic has good connections in HINA which quotes him without any other connection.

Josip Perkovic & Ivan Lasic, chiefs of Udba for enemy emigrations in headqueter of Udba in Belgrade (1986)

The Perkovic case: Mesic's little distance and discreete support President Stjepan Mesic about Josip Perkovic, penultimate time, to remind, declared:

- Josip Perkovic after first democratic elections joins in intelligence services, formated Croatian intelligence service and retires. There were those who doubted in his good intentions, but nothing ever could be said against him. Jasmina Popovic, Vecernji list, 25.02.2005.

And after appearance of German APB, President Mesic said to the same journalist:

Mesic: It's not son's guilt because of his father President Mesic is not familiar with details of Perkovic case, but he doesn't think that all the time emphasized fact that son of Josip Perkovic works in his office, could in any way damage reputation of the Office. I see that is emphasized in medias all the time, but I still don't know for a single case that a son before he was born could decide about his father or his choice of job. It haven't been seen anywhere, so it would be the first time in history in Croatia. It is clear that Josip Perkovic is Croatian citizen and that State of Croatia will treat him according to laws and regulations, which means that no kind of media or political pressures could be subject to this. The Law says that Croatian citizens couldn't be hand over just like that and that all cases as this one, should go to Croatian judicature and let them to Croatian courts, gave a comment President Mesic. Jasmina Popovic, Vecernji list, 29.10.2005

. In the same way Stjepan Mesic first declare that Hrvoje Petrac is under no investigation, so why then the complaints that with the tycoon is close Damir Loncaric, chief of OA (Intelligence Agency), whose appointment, against Racan's resistance, President publicly supported. When journalists close to Tomislav Karamarko, the present chief of POA, said that Hrvoje Petrac, by first instance verdict sentenced for kidnapping, is hiding in Israel, Mesic publicly confirmed that, else secret information, but also added that Petrac by Law has right on restoration of procedure, as soon as he comes to Croatia. At the end of 80-ties, Mesic by his own recognition to Ivica Djikic, the author of President's unofficial biography The Homeland Twist, monthly, at least twice a year, went on police to give a complaint because he was not getting the permission to make a passport.

-So we were driving like that for years, and was without passport for 15 years, explains Mesic, but avoids to talk, during those periodical visiting to police for his rejection note for passport, whether he talked with people who received him there and whether after those meetings in registers of Service for national security has left any notes about his chats with awake guardians of Yugoslav constitutional order, which was just going to hell. But, if Mesic really said something to agents and if they put that in record, it is absolutely insane to talk about his spy work for comunist intelligence services and really malicious and wrong to name Mesic as informer of Udba, what Jovic (Josip note Z.P.) and his likeminded persons didn't stop doing till today. Ivica Djikic, The Homeland Twist, pages 197/198.

Josip Jovic, as a chief editor of Slobodna Dalmacija, during the first Mesic's president preelection campaign, in continuations published supposed UDBA's files of later President. But, writes Djikic, Mesic is not disappointed with Jovic's behaviour, but at that time attitude of Drazen Budisa and Slobodan Budak, that the file is authentic. Slobodan Budak, for whom Mesic said to Djikic, that they were family friends, repeated by The Homeland Twist his opinion:

- So, I am convinced that police records, which were published by Slobodna Dalmacija authentic, and Mesic had to tell me about those contacts with Service of state security, because we were in good relations and enough close friends, said Budak. The Homeland Twist, page 200.

I am not the likeminded person of Drazen Budisa, and the least of Josip Jovic, but knowing that Josip Perkovic was chief of Udba's section for enemy emigration, in time when Stjepan Mesic asked for a passport, in order to visit his uncle emigrant in France, and all in light of present situation, I am more and more convinced that Slobodan Budak knows what he is talking about.

Post published 20.10.2005. on 45 lines

The replacement of chief editor of Vjesnik worry OSCE?

Antonella Cerasino, the spokeperson and menageress of the Office for medias and public relations of mission of OSCE in Croatia, in Jutarnji list from 17.10. on question about changes in print medias in Croatia, gave following statement:

- National medias placed in Zagreb are those in which journalists work according to professional standards, without political interference. What worries me is the fact that last several months happened several replacement of chief editors. In some cases the replacement of chief editor led to that on some other way, less balanced, are news followed. It would be good if the editors are replaced to make that media better, and not to make it more liable to political and financial influences. But, the situation in general in print medias is rather good.

If the attitude of OSCE about situation in print medias is like this I could insinuate from letter which I got from them about a month before, where on my complaints that I got dismissal in Vjesnik because of political reasons, they replied that it is the matter of work dispute and directed me which legal steps I should take about that. Nevertheless, it was little hard to expect that Antonella Cerasino would warn on replacements of chief editors and mark them as disconcerting. Namely, in time about she is talking about, only three replacements in leading positions have happened in Croatian print medias: Denis Romac resigned on position of chief editor in Novi list (private media), Andrea Latinovic resigned on position of chief editor of Vjesnik (the paper owned by Government of Ivo Sanader) and from a position of chief editor of privatised Slobodna Dalmacija, replaced is Drazen Gudic. I don't believe that OSCE has any objections on changes in Novi list and Slobodna Dalmacija, because those are private medias, and OSCE supported privatisation of state print medias. Furthermore, I have no knowledge that Romac or Gudic complainted that their leaving is conditioned by political pressures. Vjesnik is state media (for whose control OSCE has mandate) where Government's Management, contrary to suggestion of HND (Croatian journalist association), without public contest, gave position to Andrea Latinovic last year, and also this year, without public contest, on her position placed Darko Djuretek. As far as I know, in mandate of Andrea Latinovic, exactly OESS protested because of some headlines in Vjesnik. Now I'm totaly confused. I complained to OSCE that the state through Andrea Latinovic put pressure on me, that they left me without existence, and OSCE is worried because former chief editor of Vjesnik resigned and stayed on commentary salary in Vjesnik. I please the representatives of OESS in Zagreb to give their comment on 45 lines (or Peratovic Net)!

The Head of the OSCE Mission to Croatia, Ambassador Jorge Fuentes (right), and Spokesperson Antonella Cerasino present to the media the six-monthly report on the progress Croatia made in meeting its international commitments, Zagreb, 12 July 2005.(OSCE)

P.S. OSCE in 6th July of this year presented also its REPORT ABOUT STATUS NR.16 ON THE PROGRESS CROATIA MADE IN MEETING ITS INTERNATIONAL COMMITMENTS SINCE NOVEMBER 2004. And in section Media Freedom is written:

The debate on how to reconcile the work of the secret services with an effective protection of fundamental human rights and journalistic freedom has been in the spotlight during most of the reporting period. Although the Croatian Journalists’ Association expressed its satisfaction at the conclusions of Parliamentary Committees who investigated in March cases where the Counter Intelligence Agency (POA) had allegedly violated the human rights of journalists, some media commentators concluded that the investigations did not result in any concrete proposal for a change of the rulebook of POA or the Law on Security Services.

Concidering that my case is mentioned here, my duty is to warn OSCE that Tomislav Karamarko made such changes in the Law of safety services, which they would like for sure. Karamarko is chief of POA and great friend of Andrea Latinovic, with whom, by her words, had lunch at five o'clock and talked about the author of 45 lines. (and Peratovic Net) That conversation for result had my dismissal in Vjesnik. Ugh, yes! That is by OSCE in fact only work dispute, or as recently wrote to me untouchable crest of moral print –that was some game of yours.

MUNICIPAL COURT IN ZAGREB Legal matter: PROSECUTOR: PERATOVIC ZELJKO, from Zagreb, III Pile 25 Represented by: attorney Irena Radic DEFENDANT: VJESNIK P Ltd., Zagreb, Slavonska avenija 4 COMPLAINT Because returning employee on job and payment of lost salary I The prosecutor is employee of the defendant on undetermined time on employment position journalist-senior associate IV, and which labour relation is regulated by Work contract on undetermined time since 18.02.2002. year. On the day 04.08.2005. the defendant brought Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract, by which for the prosecutor is canceled Work contract because of serious violation of working duty for reason because on the day 22.07.2005., as the author, have published a big interview with Pavle Gazi in public paper «Feral Tribune», and he didn't ask for consent of his employer. Therefore, the defendant consider that the prosecutor in that way commited specialy serious violation of working duty, by which is disrupted relation of confidence of employer and worker and because of such act of the prosecutor continuation of working relation is not possible. Furthermore, the defendant in explanation of Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract quote that the prosecutor in 2002. was warned for not fulfilling his obligations in accordance with regulations in Book of working regulations, because, namely he was fulfilling his works in unsatisfactory way by range and quality. The prosecutor in legal term on day 29.08.2005. made appeal on subject resolution. EVIDENCE: expected recognition from the defendant, the Work contract of the prosecutor since 18.02.2002., copy of the defendant's Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract since 04.08.2005., copy of the prosecutor's objection since 29.08.2005., if necessary other evidences II After enclosed objection, the prosecutor received a resolution of employer-defendant, by which the defendant determine that there is no basis for changing Resolution of irregular dismissal from 04.08.2005. because the prosecutor violated rule article 5 of Work contract and article 56. section 1. point 16. of Book of working regulations. Article 56. section 1. point 16. of Book of working regulations says: «that worker must esteem article 92. of Law of work (legal prohibition of match), and section 2. of the same article says: «because of disregard of this working duty the employer can cancel Work contract, and if it is especially hard violation by which the process of work is obstructed, and in that or another way, cause material damage or obstruct reputation of papers Vjesnik, an irregular dismissal of Work contract can be given.» In accordance with previously quoted regulation of Book of working regulations comes that violation made by prosecutor is no such hard violation of working duty which would justified irregular dismissal, so this Resolution of irregular dismissal to prosecutor illegal. Furthermore, the prosecutor quote that he thinks that by publishing of subject interview in public papers «Feral Tribune» didn't make any material damage to the defendant, or his reputation obstructed or in any other way obstructed the working process, so the conditions from article 56. section 2. of Book of working regulations for giving irregular dismissal of Work contract to the prosecutor are not fulfilled. Also th edefendant in explanation of Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract and in answer on objection of the prosecutor didn't explain in any way subject resolution, although he referes on rules of Book of working regulations which clearly and briefly found reasons for making Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract. Namely, by article 114. of Law of work the parties can irregularly dismiss Work contract: «if because of especially hard working violation or because of some other especially relevant fact, considering all conditions and interests of both contract parties, the continuation is not possible.» Considering that article 56. section 2. of Book of working regulations clearly points out reasons for irregular dismissal of Work contract, the prosecutor claims that the same are not fulfilled and that this Resolution of irregular dismissal illegal, because it is not in accordance with demands from Book of working regulations, which is used in making this very Resolution of irregular dismissal. In favor of this claim that subject Resolution is illegal, emphasized is that is well-known that such offence done by journalists who work at defendant, don't have irregular dismissal of Work contract as a result. Namely, in 2003. the journalist of defendant, Marijana Matkovic and journalist Adriano Milovan, cooperated with other medias and because of that cooperation punished with destimulation of salary in amount of 1.000,00 kunas, although at that time was on rule also subject Book of working regulations and article 56. section 1. point 16 and 2 of the same one. It is obvious that the defendant by making disputable Regulation of irregular dismissal of Work contract towards the prosecutor didn't act in the same way towards other employees, because for such violation only to him is irregularly dismissed Work contract. The prosecutor also wasn't getting his salary since the day of termination of working relation, and that is 16.08.2005. when the prosecutor got Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract from the defendant. EVIDENCE: expected recognition of the defendant, the Book of working regulations of the defendant, Work contract of the prosecutor, interrogation of the prosecutor, interrogation of witness Marijana Matkovic and Adriano Milovan, both on address of the defendant, by need financial expert evaluation, by need others evidences III The prosecutor quotes that disputable interview which he published in public papers «Feral Tribune» and whic on the day 22.07.2005. and publicly published in mentioned public papers, made out of his working time, and that he in accordance with regulations of Work contract, on the day 11.07.2005. at 14:54 hours handed over to the chief editor Andrea Latinovic, who without any explanation disallowed its publishing, and for which direct cognitions has editor Nada Dmitrovic. On the day 12.07.2005. the prosecutor talked with assisstant of the director, dr. Goran Popovic about diputable text, and he was ready to make corrections in that text, and all in accordance with the defendant's general editor approach, who informed him that he would talk to the chief editor of the defendant, Andrea Latinovic, and that he would be informed about everything in time. Considering that he didn't get any oral or written explanation, the prosecutor led by journalist principals of in time and truthful informing of public decided to publish the interview in public papers «Feral Tribune» on his own expense. The prosecutor is a journalist whose texts were awarded by international journalist associations (The award of Reporters without borders of Austria, by award Press Freedom Award 2003.) because of in time and truthful informing of public, and his decision to publish this text without approval of the defendant, was only made led by journalist principle of in time and truthful informing of public. On quotes in Resolution of irregular dismissal of Work contract since 04.08.2005. that the prosecutor even in 2002. was warned that he didn't fulfill his obligatios in accordance with rules of Book of working regulations, because he supposedlly unsatisfactory was doing his job by range and quality, the prosecutor says that subject quotes are not accurate, and in favour of that he quotes the fact that at that time he was by chief editor Kresimir Fijacko and his deputy, Miroslav Lezaja and executive director, Zlatko Herljevic, suggested for award of Croatian journalist association fir investigative journalism, and what he wouldn't be for sure so if the prosecutor worked his job in unsatisfactory way by range and quality. EVIDENCE: interrogation of the prosecutor, interrogation of witness Nada Dmitrovic, Goran Popovic, both on the address of the defendant, by need other evidences IV Considering that the defendant refuses to take the prosecutor back to work and pay him off his lost salaries, the prosecutor suggests that court give v e r d i c t 1. The Resolution of the defendant from 04.08.2005. of irregular dismissal of Work contract is canceled and to the defendant is ordered to take back the prosecutor on his job on which he was working before illegal termination of working relation in term of 8 days. 2. To the defendant is ordered to pay off the lost salaries to the prosecutor since 16.08.2005. till taking back the prosecutor on work, together with belonging lawful default interest since the day of arrival of every single monthly amount of salary till the pays off, and also to compensate to the prosecutor the trial costs, and all in term of 15 days.

Barisic beskylder Susak

Novi list, Rijeka, 23.09. 2005 TIDLIGERE MILITÆRPOLITIMANN MARIO BARISIC BESKYLDER HØYTSTÅENDE MILITÆRE FUNKSJONÆRER FOR LORA Vitne får amnesti på grunn av drapstrusler Av: M. Matana SPLIT – Mario Barisic, en tidligere militærpolitimann, mener at de 8 tiltalte i Lora-saken ikke er skyldige, derimot noen andre personer som har mye høyere rang i militær- og etterretningshierarkiet. Barisic beskylder Tvrtko Pasalic, Mihael Budimir, Frane Goreta, Zeljko Maglov og helt opp til nå avdøde forsvarsminister Gojko Susak. Statsadvokatene har avslått Barisics søknad om å bli tatt inn i vitnebeskyttelsesprogrammet på grunn av drapstrusler rettet mot både ham og familien hans. Derfor påberopte han seg en bilulykke fra 1993 som er årsak til at han av og til lider av amnesi og han samtykket i at hans tidligere forklaringer leses opp. ”Jeg har sett ni fanger som ba om å bli drept, etter dialekten å dømme vil jeg tippe at de kommer fra Montenegro eller Trebinje. På gulvet var det en blanding av blod og vann, på bordet i dette rommet sto det en induktortelefon. Man kjente en intens stank, de fleste var vansiret, noen gurglet som om de ikke hadde tunge, noen manglet ører og noen var uten øyer. Jeg forhørte meg litt senere hva som hadde skjedd med disse personene, angivelig hadde to blitt sent med til fangebytte, mens syv hadde blitt kastet i gropen. Jeg informerte president Tudjman om alt det jeg hadde sett ved de par besøkene i Lora, det ble dannet en nemnd, men det eneste som kom ut av det var at alle forbrytere og kriminelle ble belønnet og jeg ble sakt opp,” forklarte Barisic.

Slobodna Dalmacija, 23. 09. 2005 MARIO BARISIC, TIDLIGERE MILITÆRPOLITIMANN, FASTHOLDER VED SIN TIDLIGERE FORKLARING I Lora så jeg mennesker som hadde fått ørene avskåret og øynene tatt ut Av: J. Matic SPLIT – ”Jeg husker det og jeg fastholder ved det, av jeg i fengselet i Lora så mennesker som hadde fått ørene avskåret og øynene tatt ut. Jeg husker også at jeg navnga konkrete personer ansvarlig for dette, men de sitter ikke her.” Med disse ordene innledet den tidligere militærpolitimannen Mario Barisic sin forklaring ved vitneavhøret i går under rettsaken mot 8 tidligere militærpolitimenn, tiltalt for at de i juni 1992 i militærfengselet ”Lora” skal ha begått krigsforbrytelser mot den sivile befolkningen. Det var Ivica Livaja som åpnet jerndøren til blokk ”C” for dem, der inne var tre militærpolitimenn som vitne ikke kjente, og jeg ville heller ikke i dag kjent dem igjen. Inne på rommet var det et stort bord og på bordet sto en induktortelefon, han synes også en blodig kniv, men er ikke sikker. På gulvet var det en blanding av blod og vann. Barisic ble oppmerksom på klynk og stønn som kom fra fangene som ba om å bli drept. Før Barisic ble avhørt ble retten gjort kjent med at han har sent søknad til statsadvokatembete om å bli tatt opp i vitnebeskyttelsesprogrammet på grunn av drapstrusler rettet mot han og hans familie. Til tross for at man ser alvorlig på Barisic sine opplysninger, ble søknaden hans ikke innvilget fordi det ikke finnes noe lovlig grunnlag for dette.

Tvrtko Pasalic

DARKO MILKOVIC VAR VITNE TIL UGJERNINGER I DET MILITÆRE FENGSELET KULINE I SIBENIK Ville drepe lederne ved politiet i Sibenik Men først måtte man drepe noen serbere slik at drapene på politiledelsen ville se ut som hevn Av: Zoran Krzelj Ved den kantonale domstolen i Sibenik pågår det en rettssak mot Tvrtko Pasalic, en av de tidligere kommandørene i militærpolitiet. I følge tiltalebeslutningen som ble fattet den 28. desember 2001 har Palasic fra begynnelsen av april til medio juni 1992 oppmuntret Mario Barisic og Milorad Paic til drap på Nikola Vukusic, politisjefen i Sibenik, og nestleder Ivo Fustin, bare at de først skulle drepe ”noen serbere” – politiinspektøren Dragan Njegic og sivile Ljubo Pavasovic, slik at drapet på Vukusic og Fustin ville se ut som serbernes hevn. Barisic og Paic fortalte dette til Vukusic og Fustin og deretter til en rekke militære, statlige og politiske ledere, blant annet til Franjo Tudjman. De fortalte også om andre detaljer i forbindelse med militærpolitiets handlinger i Dalmatia, deriblant i Lora. En avskrift fra møte hos president Tudjman, avholdt den 26. april 1993, vitner om dette. Tilstede under møte var Gojko Susak, Tomislav Sutalo, Ivan Jarnjak, Jure Radic, Hrvoje Sarinic, Mile Cuk og Miroslav Tudjman. På den ene siden er vitneforklaringen til Darko Milkovic viktig for historien om Lora fordi den bekrefter forklaringen til ”kronvitnet” Mario Barisic og dermed dementeres at sistnevntes påstander er ”passende oppspinn for dagens politiske formål”. På den andre siden er Milkovics vitneforklaring om hendelsene i Kuline viktig fordi den gir direkte innsyn i hendelsene og ugjerningene som ble gjort der. Fangene ble slått av alle ”Blant de første fangene i Kuline var de rundt 15 personer fra Nos Kalik, en landsby ikke langt fra Miljevci som ble frigjort i begynnelsen av 1992. Jeg hadde nettopp begynt i militærpolitiet så jeg var ofte der. Den gangen hadde Tvrtko Pasalic kommandoen, mens 1. og 2. tropp ble ledet av Zeljko Maglov og Zvonimir Cigic. Jeg begynte med å sette sammen transportenheten. Maglov og hans venn Gojko Zivkovic viste en spesielt umenneskelig oppførsel. Fangene ble slått av alle som kom til fengselet. Frane Goreta kom også ofte. Fangene ble torturert i de sene natterstimene, for da kom Maglov og de andre fulle og dopet. De ble tvunget til umoralske handlinger og de ble voldtatt. Maglov og hans venner likte å kortslutte fangene på ledningene til felttelefonen, slik at de hoppet av støtene.

Zeljko Maglov

Rundt den 18. juni 1992 kom Frane Goreta med Ivica Livaja. Han sendte beskjed til Pasalic om at han ventet ved veien til fengselet Kuline. Med seg hadde han Zeljko Maglov. Litt senere møtte jeg på Maglov. Han var meget nervøs og hastet hjem. Jeg dro til Kuline og spurte Damir Borsic, fengselslederen, hva som hadde skjedd. Han sa at de var fire som kom for å avhøre fangene. Det var Goreta og Livaja som ledet avhøret. Det var Marko Madjar sin tur. Borsic sa til meg at Goreta kom ut helt tilsølt med blodsprut, så han viste Goreta hvor han kunne vaske seg. Madjar lå på gulvet helt livløs og blodig. Ambulansen kom og kjørte han bort i retning Split, men jeg vet ikke hva som skjedde til slutt. Den gangen samarbeidet Borsic med Barisic og informerte ham om alt i brev. Drap av fanger Miljevci ble befridd den 21. juni. Etter at kampene hadde opphørt ble noen fanger drept, om lag 15 ble tatt med til Kuline. To dager senere, ved 9 tiden om morgenen, ringte Davor Skugor, den gangen nestleder ved logistikkavdelingen i den 113. brigade, vakthavende avdeling for militærpolitiet. Han ba om at krigsfanger og et kompani militærpolitimenn ble sendt over for å begrave drepte fiendtlige soldater i Miljevci. Kompaniet ble ledet av Gojko Zivkovic. De kom med en transportbil og en mindre personbil. På veien tilbake ble det oppdaget at en av fangene hadde blitt drept. De drepte ble imidlertid ikke begravd etter internasjonale konvensjoner, men kastet i gropen ”Bacica jama”, bak landsbyen.

Davor Skugor

Jeg har vitnet om dette i retten i Zagreb. Luka Vujic, den gangen leder for den 142. brigade, skrev den 28. juni opp at noen av fangene som ble drept under aksjonen er identifisert og i beretningen nevner han Miroslav Subotic som ble drept etter at aksjonen ved landsbyen Miljevci var avsluttet.

Susak og Tudjman visste alt

2005-10-10T18:34:00.000+02:00

Interview for Novi list Rijeka, 12. 09. 2005 Den gjentatte rettsaken for forbrytelser begått i det militære fengselet Lora begynner i Split i dag. Den tidligere militærpolitimann Darko Milkovic vitner fra Norge: Susak og Tudjman visste alt! Vi har innrapportert kriminal og mishandling til selveste toppen av staten. Jeg er helt sikker på at det var grunn til at vi ble fjernet fra tjenesten, etter stor press for å glemme det vi visste. Det var mye som skjedde der, sier Darko Milkovic Av: Zoran Krzelj Slik det ble forhåndsomtalt i mai av dommer Spomenka Tonkovic, formann av Tribunal for krigsforbrytelser ved fylkesrett i Split, begynte i dag den gjentatte rettsaken mot åtte personer anklaget for krigsforbrytelser. Anklagen gjelder forbrytelser begått på tidlig 1990- tallet mot sivile fanger i militærfengsel i krigshavnen Lora. Dommer Tonkovic sa at over femti vitner fra Kroatia og Serbia og Montenegro kommer til å bli avhørt i denne saken. Av de åtte som er anklaget for forbrytelser er det Tonci Vrkic, Davor Banic, Ante Gudic og Andjelko Botic som sitter i varetekt. Den første anklagede Tomislav Dujic, samt Miljenko Babic, Josip Bikic og Emilio Bungur er fremdeles på frifot og de skal dømmes in absentia. Anklagede var medlemmer av den 72. bataljonen av militærpoliti. De er anklaget for å ha torturert sivile fanger. Som følge av skader påført av torturen og skudd fra pistol døde Nenad Knezevic og Gojko Bulovic i juli 1992. Vi minner om at Høyesterett annullerte frikjennelse fra forrige rettsaken ledet av den omstridte dommeren Slavko Lozina. Saken ble sendt tilbake til fylkesretten for en ny rettssak. I sin forklaring etter frikjennelsen sa dommer Lozina likevel at forbrytelser i Lora fant sted. Med unntak av tidligere militærpolitimenn Mario Barisic og Milorad Paic var det ingen av de anklagete under den første rettssaken som kunne huske forbrytelser som skjedde i fengselet. Selv de som har gitt vitneforklæring på forhånd, ”kunne ikke huske” disse hendelsene under rettsforhandlingene. En av daværende militærpolitimenn hvis navn ble nevnt i retten men som selv ikke vitnet om hendelsene i Lora er Darko Milkovic. Han er, ved siden av Mario Barisic den andre viktiste vitne også i ”Sibenik saken” som handler om kriminal og forbrytelser begått av medlemmer av det kroatiske militære og MP. Han har bodd i Norge de siste tre årene.

Mile Cuk & Mihael Budimir

Alle gjorde det de ville Han kom til Split sammen med Mario Barisic og Paic fra Sibenik, der de var nærmeste medarbeidere i militærpolitiet. Fort ble de kjent med hendelsene i Lora. Rett etter det advarte han, sammen med kollegaene om urettmessigheter i militærpolitiets arbeid: kriminalitet men også andre hendelser som tortur av fanger i Sibeniks militærfengsel Kuline. Han har ved flere anledninger, gjennom mediene og i rettssalen bekreftet Barisics vitneutsagn om tilstandene i militærpolitiet. Etter det ble han og familien hans utsatt til seriøse trusler. Da han ikke fikk noen beskyttelse fra den kroatiske staten, bestemte han seg dra med sin familie og søke asyl i Norge. Før den gjentatte rettsaken snakket han igjen om hendelser i Lora. - I begynnelsen av april 1992. kom Tvrtko Pasalic fra Sibenik til 72. bataljon. Han ble utnevnt til NK mens det var Zdravko Galic som var kommandanten. Før ham var det en viss Maretic. Selv om Galic var i kommandoen, var det Pasalic som var person med mest makt. Han var den som bestemte alt. Da jeg begynte å komme dit, så jeg mange fanger som ryddet og vasket rommene. Da hørte jeg rykter om at det er full kaos i fengselet og at alle ansatte gjøre det de vil. Maretic var uinteressert, det samme med Galic. Fengselssjefen Dujic gjorde ting slik det passet ham. Hans kone, Tanja var leder av vakttjenesten. Etter at Tvrtko Pasalic overtok kommanden pleide han å dra ofte til Sibeniks MP. Det var der han hadde møter med oss- Mario Barisic som var leder av kriminalpolitiet, politimannen i samme avdeling Milorad Paic og meg som var leder av trafikkorpset. Ved en anledning beordret han at Barisic, Paic og jeg skal dra til Split. Barisic og Paic skulle kontrollere militærvaretekt De fikk beskjed om at de skal ta med seg en politimann til. Valget falt på Damir Borsic som var kommandanten av militærvaretekt Kuline i Sibenik. Jeg skulle organisere trafikktjenesten fordi det var mange biler som ble brukt ukontrollert. Tvrtko bedømte at det var kaotiske tilstander i militærpolitiet og at noe måtte gjøres med det. Fengsel for uregistrerte - Hva var det dere så og hørte der? - Den første dagen kom Barisic til Dracevac og rapporterte til Tvrtko om det som skjer. Han ba ham om å skrive det ned. Jeg var tilstede under samtalen og ble igjen på kontoret sammen med Tvrtko etter samtalen. Da kom det inn Palavra, assisterende logistikksjef i den 72. bataljonen. Tvrtko begynte å kjefte på ham ”hva slags assisterende logistikksjef han var” da alt manglet i varetekten. Det var ingen senger og andre ting og ingenting fungerte fordi ingen gadd å gjøre noe. Palavra sa at han skulle prøve å skaffe alt men at han er i en vanskelig situasjon fordi Maretic og Galic unnlot å gjøre noe fordi de ga blaffen. Tvrtko beordret ham å fikse alt umiddelbart og å hjelpe Barisic og Paic. De skulle sette varetekt i normal stand fordi forskjellige kommisjoner og internasjonale humanitære organisasjoner, først og fremst Røde kors, begynte å komme innom for å sjekke. Tvrtko beordret meg å sette minst en bil, men helst to hvis mulig, til disposisjon for fengselet til enhver tid. Bilene skulle brukes til transport av krigsfanger til legen og andre formål. Jeg var enig i det. Man kan si at situasjonen ble bedre etter at Pasalic kom. Etter noen dager møtte jeg Barisic igjen, denne gangen i militærleier Dracevac i Split. Jeg sporte hvordan det gikk på fengselet fordi jeg fryktet at det er like ille som i Sibenik. På den tiden pleide jeg å se Frane Goreta møte med Pasalic hver dag. Når Pasalic ikke var til stede pleide han å ta med seg Ivica Livaja, nestleder i IPD tjenesten (Informativ og politisk virksomhet). Han besøkte ofte også Tanja Dujic og dro sammen med henne ut av militærleieren. Barisic sa til meg at det gjenstår mye arbeid på fengselet, og at han gleder seg til å dra tilbake til Sibenik fordi det var full kaos i Lora. Fangene hadde ingen sted å sove, de maltrakeres hver dag og han hadde oppdaget en uregistrert blokk ”C”. Det var Pasalic selv som viste ham blokken og forklarte at dette er fengsel for ”uregistrerte fanger som besøkes av spesielle gjester”. Kunne ikke lenger se tortur Har Mario Barisic sagt noe om forbrytelser? - Barisic fortalte meg at følte seg syk da han kom inn. Det luktet vondt og han så blod. Fangene har ligge på gulvet og noen av de hadde en teppe. Alle var stygt skadet og blodige. Noen hadde ikke øynene, andre ikke tungen tredje greide ikke å stå opp. Han nevnte også en ortodoks prest fra Kupres. Da han kom inn sa fangene: ”drep oss, vi kan ikke holde ut mer av dette!”. Han sto sjokkert uten å vite hva disse fangene gjøre der. Da kom Ivica Livaja som lo. - Hva gjorde Barisic da? - Han beordret at fengselet skal males, laget lister over folk som har tillatelse å komme inn og møblert rommene med nødvendig utstyr. Mens jeg pleide å komme til Lora, kom jeg kun til inngangen i varetekt men orket ikke å gå inn, selv om jeg ble invitert av andre. Mario var en av de som inviterte meg. Jeg svarte alltid at jeg skulle ventet utenfor. Jeg visste hva som foregikk i Sibenik, hvem var ”besøkende” og orket ikke mer se på torturen av fanger. - Når var det du snakket om dette igjen med Mario? - Jeg kom tilbake til Sibenik i mai. Mario og jeg snakket igjen om alt. Han fortalte meg at vi på dette tidspunktet kan ikke avdekke noe, men at det finnes skriftlig materiale om alt. Alt var hysjet ned - Dine anklager er seriøse. Jeg tror på Mario. Vi var sammen fra første dagen og jobbet for å fjerne kriminal og andre ulovlige handlinger i militærpolitiet. Han ville ikke delta i forbrytelser og likvidasjoner. Jeg var hans nærmeste medarbeider og vet det. Takket være oss var ikke general Janko Bobetko likvidert. Heller ikke polititopper i Sibenik, Nikola Vukusic og Ivo Fustin. Vi støttet hverandre i vanskelige tider. Om det som foregikk, kriminal og forbrytelser, varslet vi statstoppene. Jeg er helt sikker på det at dette var direkte årsak til at vi ble fjernet fra tjenesten. Vi ble også presset til å glemme det vi vet. Tiden viste hva slags kriminalitet var det dette dreier seg om. Det var alt: fra smugling av narkotika til smugling av stjålne biler. Noen av de som i dag leder militærpolitiet deltok i dette. Alt var hysjet ned. Ivan Juric og Mihael Budimir avanserte i hierarkien og Maglov kunne gjøre det samme om han var litt smartere. Marijan Biskic og Mate Lausic kunne bli i sine stillinger uten at noen stilte spørsmålet ved det. Siden MP var direkte under ministeriet alle som angrep oss nevnte ministeren. Det var helt på det rene at den som hadde mest interesse av å hysje det hele ned var den som var på toppen av alt: Gojko Susak. Det forklarer den massive kriminaliteten, tortur i fengsler, mord, ran... Det forklarer også faktumet at mange med tjukke mapper hos kriminalpolitiet fikk anledning til å jobbe i militærpolitiet. Det er stor synd for Kroatia at ting ikke ble håndtert da vi advarte om det.

Frane Goreta

Henrettelse av den ortodokse presten Var det flere som fortalte deg om det som skjedde i Lora? - En kveld på forsommeren kom Pasalic til militærleier sint fordi en ortodoks prest ble drept på fengselet. Mannen ble torturert hver dag og Tvrtko var spesielt sint fordi presten ble drept av hans sjåfør med spark i hodet. Han sa det da jeg var tilstede sammen med Barisic og Paic inne i garasjen til MP Sibenik. Mario spillte for meg i ettertid en kassett der han gjorde opptak av Livaja. På kassetten kan man helt tydelig høre at noen fra ”C” blokken ble drept og at ”sammen med de endte Goreta, et sted på Klis”.

Witnesses Markov and Sanader

2005-10-09T12:33:00.000+02:00

Post was published on 45 lines on 07.10.2005 Witnesses Ante Markov and Ivo Sanader To law charges against the state, for illegal manipulations I was exposed to by POA, I will enclose also names of witnesse Ante Markov, parliamentary representative of HSS and Prime Minister, Ivo Sanader. I will suggest Markov because of this statement:

THE PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL SECURITY OF CROATIAN PARLIAMENT, YESTERDAY IN ZADAR BROUGHT OUT THE NEWS ABOUT RUNAWAY GENERAL Markov: Croatian secret services in conntact with Ante Gotovina I'm not in conntact with general, but I can confirm that Croatian secret services are, said in brief conversation after press conference Ante Markov. Sinisa KLARICA, Novi list, 28.06.2003.

Namely, Franjo Turek, at that time chief of POA, was signing operative reports, analysing my texts about Gotovina, claiming that it was uncorrect and that I work against interests of Croatia. Turek was sending those reports to Ante Markov, and who, besides he knew for conntacts of Ante Gotovina and Croatian secret services, as he said to Sinisa Klarica, allowed Turek's further manipulation over me and accusations that I work against interests of Croatia. If yet Turek would say that interest of Croatia was that «our secret services are in conntact with Gotovina», I would confess that I have worked against such state interest. Recently to public was showed Turek's letter to Council for internal politics and national sacurity, addressed to President of Council, Ivan Jarnjak, in which he complainted on conclusions of Council which was founded in case of five journalists. Turek claims that with all his work was familiar Prime Minister Sanader, who after Presentation about «enemy activities of journalists and former chief of police, Ranko Ostojic», appreoved warrant for doing such new measures of secret surveillance of POA over Ostojic. Turek publicly confirmed that quotations published in medias from his letter to Ivan Jarnjak, were accurate. Because of that I'm more convinced that Prime Minister Ivo Sanader was very familiar with Turek's jobs on protection of Ante Gotovina and accusations of the journalists. Turek's recent claims confirmed also statement of Dusan Miljus, editor in Jutarnji list, gave to Boris Pavelic for Novi list:

APPEARED THE SEVENTH JOURNALIST WHOM COUNTERINTELLIGENCE AGENCY WAS FOLLOWING AND EAVESDROPPING HDZ had materials of POA even in December 2003? «We have the tape of your conversations with chief of the police, Ranko Ostojic», threatened to Dusan Miljus, journalist of Vecernji list in December 2003 spokesman of HDZ, Ratko Macek. ZAGREB – «We have on tape your conversations with chief of police, Ranko Ostojic, and you give greetings to Zinka Bardic and journalist of Jutarnji list, Ivanka Toma, because you are all members of one group»-that in December 2003., in time between elections and taking over the ruling, to journalist of Vecernji list, Dusan Miljus, said at that time spokesman of HDZ, Ratko Macek, who works today also as spokesman of Government of Ivo Sanader. Boris Pavelic, Novi list, 16.02.2005.

This is also proof that Ivo Sanader with illegal materials which he got from Franjo Turek (maybe even before the elections) intented in Miljus's case, through his subordinated spokesman, Ratko Macek, tried even to blackmail the journalists. I tried to settle with Government, because POA violated and still do, my human rights. It didn't work out. In the name of Government, County state attorney's office denied my suggestion as unfounded. Now Prime Minister Ivo Sanader will get an opportunity to explain on court his role in violation of human rights of journalists by POA.

HDZ had materials of POA

Novi list, date of publishing: 16.2.2005. Section: News APPEARED ALSO SEVENTH JOURNALIST WHOM COUNTERINTELLIGENCE SERVICE WAS FOLLOWING AND WAS EAVESDROPPING HDZ had materials of POA even in December 2003? «We have the tape with your conversations with chief of police, Ranko Ostojic», threatened to Dusan Miljus, journalist of Vecernji list in December 2003. spokesman of HDZ, Ratko Macek ZAGREB – «We have on tape your conversations with chief of police, Ranko Ostojic, and you give greetings to Zinka Bardic and journalist of Jutarnji list, Ivanka Toma, because you are all members of one group»-that in December 2003, in time between elections and taking over the ruling, to journalist of Vecernji list, Dusan Miljus, said at that time spokesman of HDZ, Ratko Macek, who works today also as spokesman of Government of Ivo Sanader.

For our papers said that also alone Dusan Miljus, explaining what was it all about: «It was in December 2003., shortly after elections which won HDZ. In circles were talks that Branko Vukelic was candidate for Minister of police, so the medias were investigated his biography. I also wanted to check some datas, so I phoned spokesman of HDZ, Ratko Macek. When I asked him, he replied sharply, threatning with probable tape of my conversation with the chief of police, Ranko Ostojic. He also added to give his regards to at that time spokesman of police, Zinka Bardic, and journalist of Jutarnji list, Ivanka Toma, because that we are all members of some same group», retelled Miljus, year lasting prominent lournalist-investigator of section black chronicle of Vecernji list and President of Association of courts reporters of Croatian journalist society. Silence in State attorney's office Unpleasantly surprised, Miljus informed about everything the spokesman of police, Zinka Bardic, and she about that, as she confirmed to us personaly yesterday, wrote an official note. «It is correct. About that event I made an official note and gave it to chief of police, Ranko Ostojic», said Bardic, precising that it happened in first half of December 2003., that was, between parliamentary elections and forming Sanader's Government, when HDZ still didn't take over the ruling.

Yesterday Ranko Ostojic confirmed that he received official note from Zinka Bardic. «At that time spokesman of police has sent me an official note, what is a normal thing. In that note, in form of notification, she wrote about knowledge that the journalist said what he said», said Ostojic, which document he passed on to criminal police, and it to State attorney's office, which didn't replied yesterday on question of our papers, what happened with that document. - When I today connect some things, a lot of it is much clearer to me, comments today Dusko Miljus. He also doubts that Macek's threat could mean that HDZ, even before taking over the ruling – and certanly before March 2004., when POA gave its «Presentation» for top of the state – had materials which Counterintelligence service (POA) collected in illegal eavesdropping of Ranko Ostojic and who knows else.

Macek: Insinuations and untruths «Those are insinuations and untruths which I completely deny. I have never said something like that to Miljus. I really don't understand what is itall about. The truth is that Miljus called me for informations about Branko Vukelic, but I certanly didn't tell him what he claims. Sad indeed», denied yesterday Miljus's claims for our papers spokesman of Government, Ratko Macek.

Turek was preparing the field Ranko Ostojic himself – the only police functionary in Croatia who ever arrested some of Haag's accused – even from before doubts that exactly then, in second half of 2003, he was eavesdropped. «The doubts in that I gave one year and a half before, when from Committee fo civilian supervision asked for investigation. Namely, the public knows, that I was, by approval of Supreme court, eavesdropped after 5th of March 2004. But, «Turek's presentation» was made before that, and such document couldn't be made without necessary elements. Now it appears that Turek was eavesdropping even before parliamentary elections, just to prepare field for keeping his position after changing of government. In all that, nevertheless, the key question stays without answer: if Turek really in his «presentation» discovered some conspiracy group against Croatia, why he didn't act, but he neglected his job, counterintelligence protection of his own country?», ironises Ostojic.

What ever, the testimony of Dusan Miljus in the middle of «Turek affaire» opens serious doubt that on POA's list of tracked and eavesdropped ones should add – at least one more name. Boris PAVELIC

In conntact with Gotovina

Novi list, Date of publishing: 28.06.2003 Section: News THE PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL SECURITY OF CROATIAN PARLIAMENT YESTERDAY IN ZADAR BROUGHT OUT THE NEWS ABOUT RUNAWAY GENERAL Markov: Croatian secret services in conntact with Ante Gotovina Testimony of former American ambassador, Peter Galbraith on trial of Slobodan Milosevic in Haag, goes in favour of solving this case ZADAR – The press conference of President of HSS (Croatian Peasant party) for Dalmatia, Ante Markov, else the President of Council for national security of Croatian Parliament, was a chance to ask him about newest progress of situation with general Ante Gotovina.

Markov recognized that in whole story about general Gotovina in one way was evaded that very important Parliamentary Council, something like it was in a case at his previous Djurdja Adlesic, who was from one side obstructed from her party colleague and vice president of Government, Goran Granic, mostly in solving the situation inside of intelligence community. Nevertheless, Markov added:

- The testimony of former American ambassador, Peter Galbraith, on trial of former Yugoslav President, Slobodan Milosevic in Haag, undoubtly goes in favour of solving the Gotovina case. ICTY accepted also President Stjepan Mesic as a partner in all initiatives and I think that progress of situation for general Gotovina is in positive way. In spite of claims of some politicians from former government that all documents were available to the police since 1995., I didn't see any documents from Brijuni's congres of military top of the state, which was held exactly before action Oluja and which namely accusing general Gotovina. I'm not in conntact with the general, but I can confirm that are in conntacts Croatian intelligence services, said in brief conversation, after press conference Ante Markov.

- Based on programme which founded City council of HSS, this party definitely goes alone on elections, and expects that on won 15-20 per cent of votes, make a leading role in future ruling coalition!- said Markov. He emphasized that in his statement in favour goes present rating of HSS, but that in preelection campaign will be no talks about past, but about projects for future, without ideological characteristics.

Zaak-Gotovina blijft Kroatië

2005-10-05T02:38:00.000+02:00

Zaak-Gotovina blijft Kroatië achtervolgen Een aanslag mer een briefbom en conflicten met het Joegoslavië-tribunaal. Kroatië komt niet toe aan her oplossen van de echte problemen. Door onze correspondent TIJN SADÉE BOEDAPEST/ZAGREB, 21 SEPT. Een brute actie vanuit her criminele milieu. Dat is de voorlopige conclusie die de Kroatische regering trekt na de aanslag met een bombrief, maandag, op de Britse ambassade in de Kroatische hoolfdstad Zagreb. De brief met efplosieven krwarn tot ontploffing in de postkamer van de ambassade waarbij een mederwerker licht werd verwond. Na een dag van wild speculeren, waarbij zelf werd gedacht aan een actie van internationale terorreurnetwerken, kwam gisteren de Kroatische politie met de dader op de proppen: man die gewond werd had zélf de briefbom binnen gesmokkeld. En daar moet men het voorlopig mee doen. Al blijft het vermoeden dat de dader opereerde in opdracht van „groepringen die Krotië's ambities om EU-Lid te worden willen frustreren,“ zoals de Kroatische premier Ivo Sanader het uitdrukte. Welke „groeperingen“ worden bedoeld weet elke Kroaat: de criminele netwerken rondom de voortvluchtige generaal Ante Gotovina die door het Joegoslavië-tribunaal wordt verdacht van oorlogsmisdaden. In de Kroatische media is de Britse regering de laatste tijd scherp gehekeld wegens haar – volgens de Kroaten – zeer harde opstelling jegens Kroatië. Volgens de Protten kan van een EU-lidmatschap van Kroatië geen sprake zijn zolang het land niet blijk geeft volop samen te werken met het Joegoslavië-tribunaal; die samenwerking laat volgens de Britte te wensen over, Weliswaar vinden alle EU-lidstaten dat, maar de Britse formuleringen zijn dermate hard dat ze de Kroatische zaak „grote schade“ hebben toegebracht. Dat Gotovina nog steeds niet aan het tribunaal is uitgeleverd kwam Kroatië in maart al dour te staan, toen Brussel verdere onderhandelingen over toetreding een halt toeriep. „Gotovina is niet in Kroatië, we kunnen hem niet vinden,“ blijft premier Sanader herhalen. Hij vindt echter weinig begrip in Brussel. Zeker na de nieuwste aantijgingen van Carla Del Ponte, hoofdaanklager van het Joegoslavië-tribunal, die de Kroatische katholieke kerk ervan verdenkt Gotovina te beschermen.

Andrea Feldman

Door de zaak-Gotovina komt Kroatië niet toe aan het oplossen van de andere poeblemen, zegt Andrea Feldman, hoofdt van het Open Society Institute (OSI) dat ijvert voor democratisering van Kroatië. „Sanader zou zijn handen vol moeten hebben met het hervormen van de staatsinstellingen, zoals politie en justitie,“ zegt Feldman. In het jongste OSI-rapport wordt de Kroatische rechtspraak gehekeld wegens de trage werking en onvoldoende transparantie. Ook moeten nog tal van economische hervormingen worden doorgevoerd. Feldman: „Sanader vecht aan twee fronten tegelijk. Hij moet Europa overtuigen van zijn beste bedoelingen en tegelijk in Kroatië grote schoonmaak houden. Want de stank in de stallen van de Kroatische politiek is onverdragelijk.“ De bomaanslag drukt Sanader met de neus op de feiten, zegt journalist Zeljko Peratovic die onderzoek doet naar de netwerken rond Gotovina. „De briefbom is een plaagstootje uit de koker van Gotovina-aanhangers.“ Peratovic schrijft over de banden die regering en leger onderhouden met de maffia in Kroatië en hamert er al jaren op dat Gotovina bescherming gebiet van het leger. Peratovic werd, na meermalen met de dood te zijn bedreigd, vorige maand ontslagen door zijn werkgever, de krant Vjesnik. „Ik word omringd door lafaards,“ zegt hij. „Jedereen weet dat het eenvoudig is om Gotovina op te sporen. Er is alleen niemand die het lef heeft.“ Toch vindt Feldman dat Sanader steun van de EU verdient in zijn strijd voor hervormingen. „Toetreding is het enige pressiemiddel dat helpt. Brussel moet, los van de zaak-Gotovina, Kroatië een startdatum voor onderhandelingen geven. Anders ontspoort dit land.“

Pakracka Poljana - nazi camp

2005-10-03T21:30:00.000+02:00

Miroslav Miralem Bajramovic listening judgement of County court in Zagreb

Novosti Independent Serbian weekly magazine (Zagreb/Vukovar) Issue 301, 23rd September 2005., page 5.,6. and 7. Theme of the week Pakracka Poljana – camp without war crime? The case «Pakracka Poljana» disgraced again Croatian judicature. Although on first sight there were spectacular judgements – ten years for Munib Suljic, eight for Sinisa Rimac and five for Igor Mikola – explanation of judgement that on area of Pakracka Poljana founded a camp in which poeople were treated as in nazi time, but it is not war crime but crime in war conditions, is opposite of common sense. By that is given partly a right to former President of Supreme court, Milan Vukovic, who said that Croatian soldiers couldn't commit a war crime, because they defended themselves. Recently finished repeated trial in case «Pakracka Poljana», despite of on first sight spectacular judgements – ten years in prison for Munib Suljic, eight for Sinisa Rimac, five for Igor Mikola and four, that is, three for Miroslav Bajramovic and Branko Saric – again showed that Croatian judicature is not ready enough to face with dark part of Civil War. The explanation of judgement itself that was not a war crime but crime in war conditions, and that on area Pakracka Poljana founded a camp like nazi ones in Second World War, it is in contradiction with common sense. Namely, if Munib Suljic and Sinisa Rimac condemned for murder of Aleksandar Sasa Antic, in «camp in which people were treated as in nazi time», and Igor Mikola helped them in that, if Miro Bajramovic and Branko Saric condemned for illegal kidnaping of Serb from Zagreb, Milos Ivosevic and two workers on building-site of his house, Rade Pajic and Marko Grujic, killed in the same camp, by which logic it is not a war crime? Unpunished organisators of camp If it is known that from collecting center on Zagreb's fair (Section 22), from military custody Kerestinec, and from a place in western Slavonia under control of Croatian autorities loyal Serbs, war convicts and undesireable Croats were taken to camp in Pakracka Poljana, that is war crime itself, because there was no legal basis to do something like that. If those poor people were killed there, as it was proved in judgement, there was no basis by which judge Rajka Tomerlin Almer could conclude that it was a war crime in war conditions. Legendary statement of former President of Supreme court, Milan Vukovic that Croatian soldiers by definition couldn't commit a crime because they were defending, is said at the 90-ties exactly as a comment of first serious headlines about war crime in Pakracka Poljana. So, Milan Vukovic thought under defense of Croatia also kidnaping of loyal Serbs and undesireable Croats, their placing in «camp in which people were treated as in nazi time», where they were, honestly, killed on a bit more primitive way: not in gas chambers, but with bullet in head. In certain way judge Rajka Tomerlin Almer agrees with thoughts of Milan Vukovic. It would be better if judge didn't mention nazi character of camp in Pakracka Poljana, because then at least those totaly ignorant, but anyway more intelligent, couldn't ask: well, who organised that camp, who was the commander of it? Why didn't you punish them? Tudjman appalled over Bajramovic's claims? How come that Tomislav Mercep, commander of reserve police unit, whose members was five condemned «Mercep men», was not in custody ever because of these crimes? Even Zvonimir Trusic, owner of cafe «Stil» on Zagreb's fair as a commanding headquarters for collecting center in Section 22, at beginning 1992. with several «Mercep men», was under custody and under investigation, but Mercep didn't. «In time of incriminating events wounded lied in hospital and we couldn't accuse him», replied in 1997. Anto Nobilo, at that time deputy of county public prosecutor on question of deceased Leader Franjo Tudjman in one conversation in President's office. Tudjman and Nobilo talked about strategies of defense of Tihomir Blaskic, but Tudjman got news about interview of Miroslav Bajramovic for «Feral Tribune», so Nobilo offered to say what he knew about Pakracka Poljana case, and Tudjman asked about rolle of Tomislav Mercep in all that. By stenogram of his conversation, which «Nacional» published last year, and Nobilo publicly confirmed it, Tudjman sincerely was appalled over Bajramovic's statements that he alone killed about 70 people, and that Mercep's unit, so called «Autumn rains», in Pakracka Poljana liqidated 280 people, mostly Serbs. Consulting with Miroslav Separovic, at that time Minister of judicature, Tudjman ordered to deputy of main state attorney , Marijan Hranjski, to arrest immediately Bajramovic and others whom he mentioned that were with him in crimes. Nobilo claimed that he didn't read that interview, but that he came to similar things in 1992. when as a deputy of county prosecutor, led the first investigation. Last year Nobilo in interview for «Vecernji list» boasted that he said to Tudjman that everything what Bajramovic said for «Feral» was correct. Bajramovic fake witness – provocateur? In fact, exactly that interview of Miroslav Bajramovic is one of the key spots of suppressing of truth about Pakracka Poljana and honest processing of all outrages that happened there. Miroslav Bajramovic was previously read by investigators of ICTY who in 1997. investigated desappearings and murders of Vukovar Serbs from 1991., in time of absolute rule of Tomislav Mercep in that town. Belgrade's professor, Vojin Dabic, who cooperated on that investigation with Graham Blewit, at that time deputy of main ICTY's prosecutor, Louise Arbour, told to the author of these lines that Bajramovic offered himself as a witness of crime of «Mercep men» in Vukovar and said about 20 names of Serbs whom, namely he and his companions, killed and threw into the Danube. -We found out that he made up all those names, and only accurate information that we got from Bajramovic is the place on the bank of Danube where corps were thrown, said to the author of these lines Dabic, swearing that Miroslav Bajramovic is proved fake witness – provocateur. It is not clear why Anto Nobilo still claims that Bajramovic's statement to «Feral» is accurate, nor why around Bajramovic at the end of 90-ties engaged Cicak's HHO. At the very beginning of the interview for «Feral», Bajramovic brings out proved untruth: «Our group is down (in Gospic, auth.rem.) liquidated between 90 and 110 people, because we were too short time, not even a month. For Gospic was an order- «ethnic cleansing»: we killed director of the post, hospital, the owner of restaurant and some other Serbs. The murders were done by a gun in a forhead, because we didn't have enough time. I repeat, from headquarters we got the order to reduce the percentage of Serbs in Gospic». From previous appearences of Milan Levar, and through all different testimonies and documents, revealed before so called Bajramovic's story, it was known that role of «Mercep men» in war crimes in Gospic in comparison of roles of Tihomir Oreskovic and Mirko Norac, was insignificant. By all this, Bajramovic's statement for «Feral» should serve to one part of goverment to show that Croatian public and Croatian government appalled over war crimes done by Croatian units, and that would immediately be processed acts about he gave testimony. Of course, as soon as he was in custody, Bajramovic denied that he gave interview for «Feral», and by that the contents of recognition.

Novosti, Independent Serbian weekly magazine

No corps – no crime Tomislav Mercep and Zvonimir Trusic, whom Bajramovic marked as organisators of crime in Pakracka Poljana, were not in custody. And from those in custody, some useful informations in investigation to prosecution gave Stipe Mandjarelo, a man who was before the war member of the Serb-ortodox church, Gipsy, and in war, changed his identity, gave statements as he was bigger Ustasha than Ante Pavelic. The same Mandjarelo in custody suddenly got sick and died. And to make the thing more bizzare, his body was cremated, although there are rare cases to cremate bodies of catholics. But after the cremation no post mortem examination can be done, that is check the cause of the death, what is by many spactators the biggest reason why he was cremated. By rather reliable datas, the body of Marina Nuic, the member of at some time party of Marko Veselica, HDS (Croatian Demokratic Party), who was in Pakracka Poljana to give humanitarian aid, and under accusation that she was a spy, after many rapes she was killed, finished in crematorium on Salata, so for her death nobody was accused. No corps – no crime. The statement that Mandjarelo gave before he suddenly died, and there were serious indications that he would continue to talk freely if death didn't stop him in that, was used only as an evidence that two-three «Mercep men», on that first trial for Pakracka Poljana, condemn only for illegal kidnaping. Others, as Munib Suljic, Sinisa Rimac and Igor Mikola, without any judgement in June 1999. were released from prison. Prosecution didn't get any other evidences, and the court the statements of two witnesses, citizens of Serb nationality (Nikola Peles and Branko Velagic), who gave testimony in 1992. that they were forced to dig a grave for Aleksandar Sasa Antic, marked as inconsistent and contradictory. Intimidation of witness on court's hall When Supreme court in 2001. cancelled a part of judgement from 1999. and ordered another trial for «Pakracka Poljana» case, happened even bigger burlesque. Accused Suljic and Mikola, defending from freedom, on court's hall intimidated two mentioned witnesses, after what the witnesses in front of the judge showed even bigger amnesya and contradictory that on first trial. Judicial police didn't prevent such intimidation of witnesses, or reacted in any way, when in breaks of the trial, Suljic and Mikola went to the toilette, from which could be heard sniffing, and two of them with narrower pupils of the eyes, and hectic reactions continue to follow the trial. So, Suljic, Rimac and Mikola were condemned this time on basis of even more inconsistent, contradictory and more amnestyc testimonies of Pelesa and Velagic. It was unbelieveable that one of those witnesses during trial suddenly started to talk that Munib Suljic told him that «he would next time work on digging even bigger, massive grave», and that statement not prosecution nor court took into record and ordered further investigation. Also, it was absolutely unbelieveable that no Croatian investigation of crimes in Pakracka Poljana didn't take in record the act of Militaty court in Zagreb in 1993. (nr.of act:III-Kir-32/93), in which one of accused for stealing on battle field, Franjo Krcelic, claimed that he got aproval that from Serb houses he can take things he needed for his (tractor, television etc.) from his first superior Nikola Cvitanovic. To that act was attached ratification of police of Croatia nr. 511-01-231-1/92, dated 4 February 1992. addressed from Pakracka Poljana, and with which advisor of Minister, Tomislav Mercep, confirmed that Franjo Krcelic was «engaged in reserve unit of police since 1st October 1991. till 31st January 1992. on Pakrac-Lipik battle field». That time is the time of crimes in Pakracka Poljana and that is the proof that Tomislav Mercep in that time was commander of mentioned unit.

Responsibility of SDP Besides, it is not clear why Croatian judicature didn't get statements from witnesses from villages around Pakrac, Lipik, Daruvar and Kutina who gave testimonies, available to ICTY, about taking and killing their neighbours and relatives (especially is tragic story about killings lots of people of Serb nationality from village Kip). Nikola Ivkanec, chief of police in Pakrac 1993. helped with investigation about crimes over Serbs which was led by commission of UN, with Cherif Bassioni on head, which was the beginning of ICTY and which discovered graveyard with 18 corps. It is unknown whether Croatian investigators ever took statement from Nikola Ivkanec, to clear up the crime in Pakracka Poljana. For a long time the relatives of the murdered couldn't get ratification about death of their dearest. When Pakrac's judge, Vojin Mrzic, gave such one ratification to wife of Jovo Zestic, in which, among other, said that «missing Jovo Zestic died in prison Ribnjaci in Marino selo in 17 November 1991. in which with several people from village Klisa, took by members of ZNG (Cro. Army)...», the same man got a dismissal on court. The shadow of Pakracka Poljana falls on at that time leading men of SDP, who through Zdravko Tomac participated in work of Government of national unity. So, Tomac was in that Government in charge for following the situation in western Slavonia. There is also a written testimony that a member of Kutina's leading team of SDP went for previously arranged meeting with headquarters of the party in Zagreb to inform the center about crimes in his area, so the criminals kidnaped him and killed him, and from SDP center nobody didn't even protested against that. The number of murdered on several locations known under one name – Pakracka Poljana, moves from 18 , that number at the beginning managed to prove Bassoni's commission, to several hundreds, as some organisations claimed from Serbia, which were dealing with those problems. The accurate number will be known one day for sure, and on Croatian judicature stays a shame that it brought a verdict for only one killed Croatian policema, with Serb roots, Aleksandar Sasa Antic, and his companions named him for a spy, and for kidnaping but not a murder, three Serbs from Zagreb: douane worker Milos Ivosevic and two workers from his building-site, Rade Pajic and Marko Grujic.

Tudjman's stenogram about Barisic

2005-10-02T17:25:00.000+02:00

Post was published on 45 lines on 23.09.2005. at 20:21 h Feral published partial stenogram of Tudjman's conversation about Mario Barisic

Witnesses of war crimes in Lora, Milorad Paic and Mario Barisic, as members of antiterrorist unit of police, among the lasts stayed to defend Kijevo in 1991. (taped by Rajko Sobat for Vjesnik)

In this week's Feral Tribune one part of stenogram is published from the meeting of VONS in 1993. on which top of the state, led by Tudjman and Susak, were debating about complaints of military policemen: Mario Barisic, Milorad Paic, and under suspicious circumstances, in 1997., suffered, a man from SIS, Tomislav Matic. Together with a part of stenogram, in Feral were retelled bigger part of texts which about Mario Barisic and so called Sibenik's affair, I was publishing in Globus in 1999., without naming any source. But that bothers me less than the fact that in Feral was also a copy of stenogram which was not available in public in material kind, and state attorney from Split, Michelle Squiccimmaro didn't want to give it even to Barisic, with explanation that was the act protected by secret. That was less problem than the fact that the scenarist of documentry Lora-testimonies, Pero Jurisin in Nedjeljna Dalmacija in 2001. retold that stenogram (and recently he swore to me that he hadn't the facsimil, but that he had the right to made only notes) adding that Gojko Susak for Mario Barisic said that he should be eliminated. Exactly that part was missing in current Feral's transcript. Boris Pavelic, after Jurisin's text, called Ivan Jarnjak, who in 1993. as a Minister of police, was on meeting of VONS and asked him whether the stenogram was authentic. Jarnjak confirmed adding that Susak's eliminate didn't have to mean to kill. Yesterday Mario Barisic, on repeated trial for war crime in Lora, said that because all that he had suffered, got amnesia and he didn't remember what was happening in Lora. HDZ- government tried to kill him in the 90-ties. That of coalition, that of third January, he was not needed. Although, a man from SDP didn't fit in Racan's politics of forgiving to war criminals. Zeljko Zganjer and Mladen Bajic made a carier on his case, but because of their mistakes from the past of war military prosecutors in Sibenik and Split, although they comunicated with him personally during the investigations, they didn't have a courage for ojective bill of indictmnet to punish real offenders for war crimes and criminal Barisic was talking about in Tudjman's office in 1993. HHO didn't want to hear for media lynch which was during the first trial for Lora, almost every day against Barisic in all medias, including internet, against so brave and honest Croatian soldier.

Sibenik (2/17/02 11:16 am) Reply UROKU-BARISICU
I see that you started with politics. High and that little smaller. Our shame. For those who don't know, I must say. -grandfather of Mario Barisic was Ustasha from village Rupa: well known for his Croationalism and love for his country. He was killed by partisans (comunistic) in way that he put him in ropes and through the whole village dragged like that with horses until he died. Then a politic commessary with a knife on a gun M48 stabbed him in chest and second time in neck. Ours would say- abandu. That's how died one Croat from Rupe who adored Croatia. Then a young commessary, still alive today, but old, proudly sits in SDP in Sibenik. By the way, when his corps was pushed in a puddle of water and mud ba two partisan knights, he said: «Ustasha trash, this is going to happen with your children and all Ustasha descendants». A sorrow to be bigger, with him was one Serb by surname Tisma (from Knin somewhere) who said: «You fool, where were you born? – you are going to kill all your people». And he answered: «For Yugoslavia, my friend, for Yugoslavia and comunis party». -Super. MARIO BARISIC ( grandchild of murdered country-lover) is a member of (SDP- Croatian Socialdemocrats Party) party since 1995. Passionate pleader of justice and legal country. «Evidences» about war crimes he gives to Ivica Racan and Marin Jurjevic and asks for punishmet of «criminals». By the way, Mario answers on two questions: -With whom you met before going in Kijevo as a policeman? – What was the name of you captain of KOS in Yugoslav army? -Just to know, even if you don't answer again. You stinky brat. You chase everybody around yourself who thinks a bit as Croat. Why do you lie for your wounding? I watch you a lot. You greet me sometimes, I do the same to you. But you are so disgusting to me that I don't hate you, but despise you. Unfortunatelly, this people don't know much about you, but I will tell them. I know you and your family, and father and mother and brother and relatives, your wife and her relatives. I know all about you, more then you do. Who says that you should be killed is stinky and stupid animal. I am even against the thought of it, because Croats shouldn't live through destiny of their ancestors, even if they are betrayers. You sholuld be presented to this people and tell them WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT IS YOUR TASK, and I know that.

Zarko Puhovski told me that Barisic could be accused for participating in crime, and he was willing to help him, if talks in film of his brother, Nenad Puhovski, Lora – testimoniess. Some attorneys didn't want to press charges against Zeljko Olujic, who in Latinica on theme Storm over Krajina, called Barisic a psychic patient. The chief of police, Ranko Ostojic, didn't put policemen as a protection for Barisic, who wouldn't tell him to his enemies, justifying himself that he has no autorities for that, but Sibenik's police. Ostojic didn't take serious the fact that the group connected with runaway Ante Gotovina, and whom Mario accused for war crimes in Kuline, Lora, after in 2003. SIS and SZUP overdropped Barisic's andmine phone calls and working on chief of Sibenik's POA, Davor Matesic, in Herzegovina payed people to kill crown witness for Lora. All the time SIS was giving him friends, so like that, Sibenik's SIS man, Milan Malenica, progress all the way the position in Zagreb based on a job which Mario and certain Ivica Bacic were working on. Marko Erceg from Duga Resa and German Dillenburg, former friend of Stjepan Mesic, Silvije Degen, Tomislav Jakic, Milan Levar, deceased Stipe Suvar, Mira Ljubic Lorger, Wolfgang Thierese, Josip Manolic, Josip Boljkovac, Bernd Schmidtbauer, Smiljan Reljic, Ante Nobilo, Ivan Ninic, Karl Forzner, Josip Perkovic..., helped to transfer to Germany Tomislav Oreskovic, one of witnesses of Gospic war crimes. But he didn't manage to do the same for Mario Barisic. Mario has got international degree of master of fight with nunchacks. And he wanted to make a living in Germany as a trainer of that fighting sport. Neverthless, that his attention was discovered, and Marko Erceg was hardly attacked in Slobodna Dalmacija: Secret hunter on evidences of crimes and Heloved to introduce himself as an ICTY investigator.

Beate Slydal (Norwegian Amnesty) and Darko Milkovic in Oslo

Erceg didn't manage to help also Darko Milkovic, another Barisic's companion, SDP (Croatian Socialdemokrats Party) member, from Kastela, who managed to hide in Norway from threats that he would be killed in Croatia if he gave testimony about crimes on Miljevac plato. When Mario in 2003. got a honorary jod as a guardian in National park Kornati, he was verbaly attacked by Ivica Oreskovic, during the crimes in Gospic, SIS-man with bedge number 14, directly on connection with assisstant of Minister for security, Josip Perkovic. You guess, Ivica is brother of Tihomir Oreskovic, condemned in Rijeka on 15 years in prison for war crime in Gospic. The chief of UNS, Tomislav Karamarko, was connected with guys for whom Barisic claimed that they were criminals, so even President Mesic didn’t stand for Mario. The Minister of defense, Jozo Rados, got the same guys on job in MORH, and his advisor for security, Ante Damjanovic, who with Barisic talked through Stipe Rojnica, chief of SIS in 1994., wanted to know only which school Barisic finished.

In Berislavic's Street in Zagreb

Sharing with Mario Barisic part of his destiny since in Globus at the beginning of 1999. confirmed his reports about criminal activities and crimes under MORH, 31st of October 2004., on Peratovic Net I have forseen that he would, brokenby all mentioned above, act like he did yeaterday in court in Split:

Did Mario Barisic gave tetimony in vain?
Projection of documentary Lora – testimonies of Nenad Puhovski and Pero Jurisin, again put in focus of public interest Mario Barisic, former military policeman from Sibenik, who first thgough institutions of system, then in medias and then in court gave testimony about war crimes and criminal acts on which worked Militaty police and Safety-informative service in MORH in Dalmatia, during war years. Praising Mario's honesty and bravery, Slobodan Snajder asked me concernedly in his mail: -And why Barisic in Split court didn't blame somebody else of eight accused, when out of all is clear that they were torturers in «Lora»? I answered that Mario Barisic didn't want to lie. He didn't see that accused from Lora torture and kill. He saw clues of a crime after it were commited: the walls of block C covered in blood, a human ear on the floor in toilette; he heared stories about crimes from other military policemen. To prevent repeating of such things, he informed about his knowledge his superiors all to President Franjo Tudjman. After his testimony in Tudjman's office, there was held a meeting of closest state top, on which deceased Minister of defense, Gojko Susak, said that Barisic should be eliminated. When a part of stenogram from that meeting appeared in public, one of the members of meeting, Ivan Jarnjak, in 1993. Minister of police, said that Susak didn't mean to kill when he said eliminate. Why that stenogram wasn't mention in documentary Lora-testimonies, it is not clear to me, particularly considering the fact that scenarist of Lora, Pero Jurisin quoted most of stenogram in his text in Nedjeljna Dalmacija and that he for sure have the stenogram of conversation of Tudjman, Susak, Jarnjak and others about Mario Barisic. When spokesman of President's Office, Danijela Barisic in 2001. confirmed that stenogram brought from Office of state attorney, I asked from at that time archivar of President Stjepan Mesic, Zeljko Bagic, to let me insight in that contorverse conversation. Bagic was convincing me that he gave the stenogram to Zeljko Zganjer, at that time County state attorney in Sibenik (today chief of USKOK) and to Mladen Bajic, present Main attorney of Croatia, Mladen Bajic, and at that time County state attorney in Split, and that he had to see what he would do about knowledge from that evidence. The key evidence which confirms that Mario Barisic informed Tudjman about criminal and crimes in MORH stayed till today unavailable for wide public. Namely it was used in process Lora, but had a mark of secret on it, so even Barisic as witness in process, even after official written demand to State attorney's office, couldn't get. Destiny of Mario Barisic in many ways is similar to Levar's. After the murder of Milan Levar in Gospic, County state attorney from Sibenik, Zeljko Zganjer, gave him a police protection, which after two years, disapointed, Mario cancelled himself. Policemen from protection betrayed him to his enemies, and he got informations that certain groups connected with Levar's murder, but also hiding of Ante Gotovina, prepared his death. Different from Levar, he received trial for some crimes about which he gave testimony, but he didn't receive to see that those he held responsible were accused – those who organized the crimes, made it possible, made benefit out of it... On these pages we will to try to give review of Mario's search for the truth and justice through institutions, medias, courts. After Levar's death, state should give him full protection and seriously investigate all his quotation, and not to try to manipulate with his testimony in Lora case, so even Slobodan Snajder could get an impression that Barisic protects direct commiters of war crimes. If Mario give up for good his hard expedition, it will not be his fault...

Society Five years since murder of Milan Levar, the most persistent public witness of war crime in Gospic

Concealing with forethought

President Stjepan Mesic, who once publicly claimed that he was personal Levar's friend and that he at middle of 90-ties several times had dinner in Levar's apartament in Gospic, recently gave document of amnesty to Stjepan Grandic. Prime Minister, Sanader doesn't say anything about Levar's case, because he probably thinks that everything is said by fact that at the beginning of his mandate, State attorney's office donated to Levar's widow 400 thousands kunas of indemnity. Exactly on 28th of August was five years of silentl murder of Milan Levar, the most persistent public witness of war crime in Gospic in 1991., the Croat who as a motivation for persistent insisting on truth and justice, which he paid with his head, too often he was emphasizing non-conciliation with the fact that his fellow-citizens were killed, Gospic's Serbs who expressed loyality to new Croatian government, to «make unspanned hate between Croats and Serbs in the future». Levar's war companion, Zdenko Ropac, said that two of them decided to withstand to crimes on that bloody autumn of 1991., when their friend was killed, Serb from Gospic, Boro Macak. «Levar and me together realized that loyal Gospic's Serbs started missing, that was, they were killed. So we put Boro Macak in ZNG (Croatian forces) hoping that nobody would do him any harm if he was in Croatian uniform. When he was also killed from 'our side', it was the last drop and we have done everything to stop the crimes, and those crimes to be punished», said Ropac.

Slavica Lukic, Zdenko Ropac and Zeljko Peratovic

Concealed anniversary The murder of Milan Levar was a message to of that days government, led by Stjepan Mesic and Ivica Racan, not to get involved in processing of Gospic's war crime, as similar message got government in Serbia in 2003. by murder of Prime Minister Djindjic. Almost identically sounded statements of two eminent nationalists in Zagreb and Belgrade, who gave comments on these murders. So the vice president of Parliament at the time of murder of Levar, Zdravko Tomac, said that the murder in Gospic was «a soot into Croatia», while vicar Amfilohije Radovic on funeral of Zoran Djindjic said that «another Serbian victim has fallen». Immadiatelly after Levar's murder in Gospic, Prime Minister at that time, Ivica Racan and President Stjepan Mesic acted bravelly: assassination on Levar called as political and encouraged police and judicature to start process for crime for which Levar's murders wanted to stay public secret and permanent stain on Croatian people's conscience. A bit latter, honest, and of Racan and Mesic, braver judge from Rijeka, Ika Saric, condemned the organisers of crime: Tihomir Oreskovic on 15 years in prison and Mirko Norac on 12 years. Third condemned, Stjepan Grandic, who was condemned on ten years, President Mesic recently gave document of amnesty. That event, critisized by small part of public, as if it announced that fifth anniversary of murder of Milan Levar in Croatian medias would be almost concealed. Bright exceptions were only «Novi list» and «Radio 101». President's weak memory And President Stjepan Mesic, who once publicly claimed that he was Levar's personal friend, and that at the middle of 90-ties, passing by Lika, in front of his party at that time, HND (Croatian Independent Demokrats), several times had dinner in Levar's apartament in Gospic, obviously doesn't think any more that this facts should be mentioned in public. Known for his often public interfering in different problems in society and state, President Mesic missed to ask from Ministry of police to check investigation about Levar's murder, when already spokesman of polce Igor Stefanec, for «Radio 101» said that it still going on, and that in 2000. on the scene of a crime have taken all relevant tracks. Zdenko Ropac, who through lawyer Luka Susak, leads legal battle with the state to get material indemnity for almost 14-year state expulsion and 7 year long out of country, mentioned that President Mesic didn't answer not even on his request to see at State attorney's office for his case. Prime Minister Ivo Sanader doesn't mention Levar's case, because he probably thinks that he said everything by the fact that at the beginning of mandate of his Government, State attorney's office donate to Levar's widow Vesna 400 thousands kunas of indemnity. Leader of opposition, Ivica Racan, on initiative of journalist Drago Pilsel, after coming down from position, to little Leon Levar he gave a computer, so he probably also doesn't feel as one responsible to remind on victim of Milan Levar. Historian Ivo Goldstein in reportage from Gospic's funeral wrote that Milan Levar on his last rest, among numerous who should, didn't come on funeral not political or public representatives of Serbs in Croatia, «because Levar was helping them also directly». Branka Krajnovic, Serb from Gospic, whose parents was killed by «Norac's men», while his husband Croat was in uniform of Croatian army on first line of battle, usually say when she remembers Milan Levar:

«Because of Milan my children today are not ashamed to say where are they from and who their parents are».

Levar didn't want history to repeats itself Levar was usually claimed as betrayer and tomfool. It was said that he «works for Serbs», and to totally uninformed «defenders of holiness of Civil war«, it was left to believe that Milan himself was a Serb. The fact is Levar in time of former Yugoslavia was claimed as Croatian nationalist. Because of nationalism he was thrown out from Mostar's military school, and when he was in primary school in Gospic, he refused to write essay on theme «A letter to my friend in Vietnam», claiming that he had no friend in Vietnam. His deceased mother Katica had big problems to save him from severe sanctions because of that statement. Imposed, but also widely spread thought that in Gospic was continued conflict from Second World War, when Ustashas first exactly on that area started with extermination of Serbs, and OZNA (first secret service of yugoslav communists) after the war has punished many of Croatian families whose relatives were in Ustashas or homeland-defenders, the case of Milan Levar demolishes to the ground. One part of his family during Second World War was in Ustasha army. But, he didn't think that he should continue where his ancestor has stopped. He emphasized that he didn't want the history to repeat itself and to Croats for another 50 years are being accused for being genociding. Vjenceslav Bill, the witness of Osijek's war crimes and Mario Barisic, the witness of crimes in military prisons Kuline and Lora, as Levar, have ancestors on Ustasha side, and in Civil war couldn't stand killing of people only because they were Serbs. Father of Tihomir Oreskovic in Second World War was a partisan, and after the war he was working in OZNA, together with Ante Karic, who on that komunist-partisan friendship in 1991. personally put in duty Tihomir Oreskovic as his sacretar of Crisis headquarters in Gospic.

Vjenceslav Bill and Marko Erceg, former BND agent

Tudjman's regime lustrated Serbs On Gospic's case the best is shown the thesis of profesor Svetozar Livada that Tudjman's regime lustrated Serbs, and not communists. Main operative man of crime over Serbs in Gospic, was from comunist family. His brother Ivica in Gospic was an officer of SIS under direct authority of Josip Perkovic, one of the last chiefs of Croatian UDBA (second secret service of yugoslav communists). As Milan Levar was testifying, under Oreskovic's terror, also some Serbs over night changed their names and to prove themselves as Croats, were becoming murders of members of nation they were coming from. In one of interviews, Levar said that also President of Lika-Senj county, Ante Frkovic, before had a name Drago, what probably didn't seem enough Croatian name for him, so he changed it. Local Croats, former policemen, UDBA-men or military men, had to prove by killings of Serbs that they «improved». If Levar could hear that defenders of Tihomir Oreskovic and Mirko Norac on trial conversation about complaint to the Supreme court on first level judgement as extenuating motive gave the fact that their clients are not from Gospic, so in that case «didn't have the motive to participate in local conflict connected with past» (words of Zeljko Olujic, attorney of Tihomir Oreskovic), he would laugh and laugh. Namely, exactly Levar in most of his interviews from the 90-ties emphasized that «the crime in Gospic was imported from outside, to bring in unsurmountable mischief between Gospic's citizens Croats and Serbs» and that «Tihomir Oreskovic as American and British agent in Gospic arrived from USA», and that «Norac from Sinj in hotel 'Velebno' for commander of Gospic's brigade named Antonio Lekic, from HDP (Croatian Statehods Mowement) party in SIS (Military Counterintelligence agency)», and that he was protected all the time by « Herzegovinean Gojko Susak from Canada and Zagreb».

William Perry and his friend Gojko Susak

He didn't ask money for testimony About Milan Levar till now was not given no evidence that he participated in crime, and of repentant motives testified against others. That can also confirm Belgrade's profesor Vojin Dabic, whose Serbian informative center in Belgrade all till taking over the case from side of ICTY, worked on war crimes in Gospic. Also stands for other public witnesses, former Croatian homeland-defenders: Vjenceslav Bill, Mario Barisic, Zdenko Ropac, Tomislav Oreskovic (Gospic) and Darko Milkovic (Kuline, Lora, Miljevci). But such accusation «spited out» on dead Levar during the trial in Rijeka, and repeated it complaint hearing on Supreme court lawyer of Milenko Skrlec. «Levar had a motive to commit a war crime because his wife took work position of chief of Meteorological station in Gospic, after previous chief, Serb, was killed», said Oreskovic and Skrlec. It was another hit for Levar's familiy. Widow Vesna had to send demanty immediately to medias who passed that accusation. Why HHO (Croatian Helsinki Committee) or any other non-government organisation never helped her in defense i protection of human dignity, civil courage and essence, it is not known till today. She said that she was with her son regularly invited on HHO anniversary celebration of Day of human rights, because Leon got in 2000. their award «Aleksandra Zec», but they never sent them even money for trip from Gospic, although they regularly also Zarko Puhovski and President Stjepan Mesic with Levar's on those celebrations took photographs. Murdered Levar didn't leave fortune «hiden», as radical Tudjman men were saying. He didn't ask for money for his testimonies, as those were lies in 2000. former President of HHO and bestman of Tihomir Oreskovic, Ivan Zvonimir Cicak in «Nacional», journalist and now by ICTY's accused, Ivica Marijacic, in «Slobodna Dalmacija» and fake psychiater, in fact, urologist, Zoran Bozic, in «Hrvatsko slovo».

Zoran Bozic: Levar is medical case

The relationship of Levar and HHO In one of public debates about relationship of Levar and HHO, Zarko Puhovski answered to Drago Pilsel that in archive of HHO were materials about help which HHO was given to Levar and his family. Vesna Levar didn't remember that her deceased husband got any help from HHO. Dr. Zarko Puhovski and former director of HHO, Tin Gazivoda, never answered on one mail in which was asked from them to, for writing a book about Milan Levar, give information about any donation, for till now, last Gospic's postwar victim. Vesna Levar was recently surprised by statement of dr. Puhovski that HHO from state asked for protection for Levar.

Drago Pilsel

She knew that only Slavko Goldstein, at the end of 90-ties to deceased Levar promised to help by private connections to protect him. After the assassination Goldstein said that he asked for protection for Levar from Markica Rebic, former Tudjman's advisor for national security, who also confirmed that adding: «I have done that although Levar said lies against Croatia. I knew that his murder would bring much more damage to Croatia in world». The truth is that also exists statement from Ivica Rozic Roka, given in 1999. to police, in which he described in what ways he was preparing assassinations on Milan Levar and Zdenko Ropac, adding that he would do that «as soon as he got red light». That light was given to him by the end of August 2000. and Milan Levar never spoke again. His family was fighting for survival (money for funeral collected Ivo and Slavko Goldstein) all till help of Dobroslav Paraga, who directed them to sue the state for indemnity and the time was running out, at the end they didn’t got mentioned 400 thousands kunas indemnity. «Why Serbs don't have their Milan Levar?», asked these days one of participants on Internet forum on theme of fifth year of assassination. He asked that his compatriots Croats, considering that in questions of nonregretful testimonies about war crimes shouldn't make difference from Serbs, forgeting that citizens of Croatia, have Levar exactly because history wouldn't repeat itself.

Gotovina under franciscan's skirts

2005-09-30T13:20:00.000+02:00

Published on 45 lines on 22 September 2005. Is Ante Gotovina under skirts of franciscans in Krapanj?

Jasna Babic

Now even Jasna Babic in Slobodna Dalmacija started with critics on Catholic Church because of hiding Gotovina, and till recently, writing for Vecerni list, she was pointing at domestic betrayers in intelligence underground, who thought that Gotovina should tell his story in Haag, and that domestic secret services, police not even the church, shouldn't help in his escape. I'm surprised that Babic changed her mind when it is about Gotovina and his helpers, because she way loyal to that team till now. Among Gotovina's logistics, her the greatest favourite, Nikola Kristo, who came into Cedo Prodanovic's office offering that Cermak's lawyer and friend of President Mesic, mediate at ICTY about conditions that Gotovina was offering to talk to Haag's investigators. Nikola Kristo, together with Ante Gotovina, was visitig vicar Zlatko Sudac in Betanija, after what the stigmatic and carismatic priest, concluded that runaway general was a great and kind man and that he shouldn't surrender to ICTY.

Stigmatic Zlatko Sudac, friend of Ante Gotovina

As I can remember, only Mladen Plese, present chief editor of Slobodna Dalmacija, and present chief of Jasna Babic, even in 2002., while they were working together in Nacional, critisized Gotovina's escape, and in context of helper, was mentioning parts of Catholic church. That Plese's text in 2002. confirmed the indications that I was getting, from the field Gotovina was moving on, and from different foreign journalists, who were getting confirmations from their governments. Dear readers of 45 lines, if your memory is correct, President Mesic spoke in 2002. to Pope Ivan Pavao 2, with request that Principal master of Catholic Church calm down those right-sided bishops , who were supporting Gotovina. And then Ante Gotovina through Hrvoje Petrac and Ivo Pukanic, with assisstance of Zeljko Bagic and Franjo Turek, offered to President Mesic a deal which he couldn't refuse. As Carla Del Ponte doesn't fall on charm of Kristijan Horvat (Ante Gotovina), and not even on winking of rather older charmin man, Stjepan Mesic, our President got himself in troubles head over heels, and now swimming out of that dirt, at the times, say something stupid to fence himself from Gotovina and Petrac. Policemen of Ranko Ostojic from Police station of Sibenik-Knin, even in 2002. were supervising island Visovac, because there were informations that friars on that island were guarding Gotovina, that was, made possible for him to move through Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, not stopped by the police, hiding under their dresses. Visovac is under interference of Split's franciscan's province. Nevertheless, friar's monestery on island Krapanj, opposite of Brodarica, is under interference of Zadar's province of Sveti Jeronim and it is not surprising that Zadar's franciscans feel called by name the most in the last interview with Carla Del Ponte. From Krapanj, for Ante Gotovina it was not difficult to sail to Kaprije, where he had holidays in 2003., as it was written. Because of liking that information in public, Franjo Turek, at that time chief of POA, replaced by the end of 2003 the chief of his spy branch – Davor Matesic. All that quotations about shelters on Hvar, Vis or again at fra Petar Krasic in Masna Luka, are only fruit of cooking of present chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko, so the binoculars for Gotovina would turn on other side – where he is not. Also the trousers found in Italy and many other examples about which I on 45 lines wrote in details, because Karamarko didn't let me to write about that in Vjesnik.

Is the chief of POA in Sibenik replaced because of Gotovina

According to one explanation, Davor Matesic is replaced because he didn't collect evidences for defense of runaway retired general Ante Gotovina, and according to another, because he didn't prevent liking of information about last summer Gotovina's staying on Kaprije island, near Sibenik/Council for civilian supervision of secret services is the only one authorised to investigate that case ZAGREB, 9th November – Franjo Turek, chief of Counterintelligence service (POA), replaced Davor Matesic, the chief of Sibenik's branch of POA, several days after dissolution of Croatian Parliament. By that, intelligence analysts say, he finished the process of cleaning in POA, using Parliamentry vacuum, till foundation of another convocation of Parliament and forming Parliamentary Committee for internal politics and national security, under which authorisation are secret services. Unofficially, exactly from circles of former members that Parlamentary Committee, can be heared complaints on Turek's move, which is evaluated as political, because Matesic was considered as a man of Minister of police, Sime Lucin. «While POA was under authorisation of Ministry of police (MUP), Sime Lucin didn't let Turek to touch Matesic. It is well known that Sime Lucin and Ivan Ninic, the member of Parliamentary Committee for national security, was against confirming Turek for chief of POA, and for a while that was also done by Prime Minister, Ivica Racan. Turek has used Parliamentary vacuum and by replacement of Matesic touched those who were against him», explains to Vjesnik a source close to former Parliamentary Committee for internal politics and national security. Formally, Matesic's replacement was explained by bad working results and bad human relations in Sibenik's branch of POA. Unofficially was added that it was taken against Matesic weak engagement in collecting evidences which could help in defense of runaway retired general Ante Gotovina in ICTY, in operation led by special advisor for national security of President of Croatia, Zeljko Bagic, main state attorney, Mladen Bajic and chief of POA, Franjo Turek. The Vjesnik's source added that Matesic's replacement could have something with Gotovina case, but in connection of statement of Carla Del Ponte in Luxembourgh that runaway general was on vacation last summer on one yacht in Mediterranean. As Vjesnik wrote, some sources claimed that the yacht with Gotovina was anchored near Sibenik's island Kaprije. The source close to former Parliamentary Committee emphasizes that Turek, among other things, took against Matesic because that information appeared in public. When once in Slobodna Dalmacija was published document of SZUP (former name of POA, auth. remark) that till recently President of Parliamentary Committee for national security, HSS man, Ante Markov, was reserve worker of that service, Franjo Turek personally accused Matesic for being responsible because that document appeared in public.

Ante Markov

«But, then Turek didn't have prooves for that accusation, and Matesic was under Lucin's protection, so no replacement could be done, which recentla happened», explains Vjesnik's source. During Matesic was chief of Sibenik's POA, he was intimidated twice by shooting on the building he lived in. As Vjesnik founds out, on Matesic certain pressures was made by Milan Malenica, while he was chief of VOA (Military-intelligence agency). Malenica's chief, Gordan Cacic, gave him a promotion and now he is employee of management of that agency in Zagreb. President of Council fo civilian supervision of secret services, prof.dr. Vlatko Cvrtila, announced that the body, which in Parliamentary vacuum is only authorised for control of secret services, would visit all secret services, to get familiar with their work and check whether they work by law. Is in case of replacement of Davor Matesic was any illegal moves of Franjo Turek, it will be known after finishing work of inspection of Council for civilian supervision of secret services.

Karamarko, Gotovina, Kroatië

Kroatische journalist met de dood bedreigd Brussel Van onze medewerker Peter Dupont

De Kroatische onderzoeksjournalist Zeljko Peratovic wordt met de dood bedreigd omwille van zijn onthullende reportages. Daarom verloor de man vorige maand ook zijn baan bij de overheidskrant Vjesnik. Zijn vrouw en kind zijn intussen naar Zwitserland gevlucht. “Dit soort incidenten kan de EU-toetreding van Kroatië in de weg staan,” zeggen europarlementsleden Bart Staes (Groen!) en Saïd El Khadraoui (Sp.a).

Een maand geleden werd de Kroatische journalist Zeljko Peratovic bij de overheidskrant Vjesnik de laan uitgestuurd. De man mailde gisteren een wanhopig appel naar de organisatie ‘Reporters zonder grenzen’ omdat hij vreest voor zijn leven en dat van zijn vrouw en kind. Peratovic ontvangt immers al een hele tijd doodsbedreigingen. De laatste weken worden ze heel expliciet. “Ze komen van een Kroaat die afwisselend in Canada en Zwitserland woont. Een hevige aanhanger van de door het Joegoslaviëtribunaal in Den Haag gezochte oorlogsmisdadiger Ante Gotovina. De politie doet niets.” Maar er is meer: sinds de journalist door de Kroatische binnenlandse veiligheidsdienst POA ervan beschuldigd werd voor de Britse geheime dienst MI6 te werken, wordt hij voortdurend geïntimideerd en lastiggevallen. “Op straat, in de bus, op café. ’s Nachts word ik voortdurend gebeld..”

Peratovic fishing in Slavonia

De fout van de veelgelauwerde journalist is dat hij al erg kritisch schrijft over de manier waarop Kroatië met het recente oorlogsverleden omgaat. Het was Peratovic die ontdekte dat Milan Levar in 2000 op bevel van politici uit Zagreb in 2000 was vermoord. Omdat Levar als enige het Joegoslaviëtribunaal informeerde over de massamoord op Servische burgers in het Kroatische dorp Gospic. En hoewel Peratovic alles wat hij opspitte ook overdroeg aan de politie, bracht het onderzoek nauwelijks iets op. De moordenaar van Levar woont nog steeds in het dorp. Peratovic legde ook de links bloot tussen de POA, de georganiseerde misdaad en de wapen- en drugssmokkel. Daarbij was ook de Belgische huurling en wapenhandelaar Marty Cappiau betrokken. Hij werd in 2001 na een succesvol uitgevoerde huurmoord op maffiabaas Vjeko Slisko afgemaakt in de straten van Zagreb. Cappiau’s naam viel ook geregeld in verband met wapenleveringen van de Kroatische wapenfabriek IM Metal in Frankrijk en de DPS (Département Protection Sécurité) de privé-militie van Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Ante Gotovina, Mirko Norac & Ivan Andabak

Peratovic belichtte ook de rol van de generaalsmaffia: de drie gewezen oorlogsgeneraals Ante Roso, Ivan Andabak en Ante Gotovina. Vooral de onthullende krantenartikelen over deze laatste, voor veel Kroaten een oorlogsheld, zetten veel kwaad bloed. Peratovic voerde immers aan dat de Kroatische regering al lang op de hoogte is van het verblijf van deze gezochte oorlogsmisdadiger. Deze is nog altijd gelinkt aan leger en veiligheidsdiensten én houdt zelfs contact met de Kroatische regering. Net zoals enkele andere gezochte Kroaten wordt hij door het overheidsapparaat uit de handen van het Joegoslaviëtribunaal gehouden, aldus Peratovic. De Kroatische overheid kan daar, met de EU-toenadering in het verschiet, niet mee lachen. “Iedereen weet dat Gotovina nu in Herzegovina zit, in Siroki Brijeg. Premier Sanader was er onlangs nog. Officieel voor een voetbalmatch en om de medestanders van Gotovina te overtuigen hun steun te stoppen. Eigenlijk was een grote show voor Carla del Ponte, de hoofdaanklaagster van het tribunaal in Den Haag. Zo van: we doen ons best.”

Bart Staes

De POA viel de journalist het afgelopen jaar voortdurend lastig. ”Samen met vijf andere journalisten - Gordan Malic (Globus), Ivanka Toma, Marijo Kavain (beide Jutarnji list) en Ivica Djikic (Feral Tribune) – werd ik door de voormalige chef van de veiligheidsdienst beschuldigd van samenwerking met de Britse geheime dienst MI6. De Kroatische veiligheidsdienst POA heeft ons maanden afgeluisterd en bespioneerd. De Kroatische regering was daarvan op de hoogte.“ Vanaf september 2004 veranderde de situatie voor Peratovic op de krant Vjesnik. Peratovic: “Onder druk van het hoofd van de POA, Tomislav Karamarko, werd ik steeds meer geïsoleerd en werden mijn teksten zwaar gecensureerd of verschenen ze niet. Op de redactie werd ik behandeld als een buitenlandse spion. Mensen werden opgezweept om de ‘verrader’ aan te pakken. Ik begon voor mijn veiligheid te vrezen. Het lynchen van mensen door een meute was in dit land tot voor kort heel gebruikelijk. Op een moment dat ik voor een operatie het ziekenhuis in moest, kreeg ik bericht dat ik kon opstappen. Pleidooien van Kroatische politici en NGO’s hielpen niets. Vjesnik is immers een overheidskrant, management en directeur zijn aangesteld door de overheid.” Peratovic leeft momenteel geheel geïsoleerd in zijn flat in Zagreb. “Bang, zonder financiële middelen en nog steeds ziek. Deze keer van angst.”

Saïd El Khadraoui

Reporters Zonder Grenzen Oostenrijk stuurde intussen tevergeefs een woedende brief naar Vjesnik. In België zijn de europarlementsleden Bart Staes (Groen!) en Saïd El Khadraoui (Sp.a) van plan om de zaak Peratovic op te volgen. “Dit soort praktijken is absoluut ontoelaatbaar, zeker voor een land dat tot de EU wil toetreden” zegt Bart Staes. “De Europese groenen zullen hier werk van maken. Samen met mijn Nederlandse collega Joost Langendijk van GroenLinks, tevens Balkan-specialist, zal ik zien welke stappen we zullen ondernemen. Saïd El Khadraoui wacht met spanning op het rapport dat Carla del Ponte einde september bekend maakt. “Toch is het al een tijd duidelijk dat de rol van de Kroatische inlichtingendienst heel dubieus is. Recente incidenten tussen de overheid en de media maken duidelijk dat persvrijheid een ijdel begrip is in Kroatië. Op dat vlak kan Europa zich geen flexibiliteit veroorloven. Je kunt niet aan Turkije een ander signaal geven dan aan Kroatië. Net zomin als je Gotovina kan laten lopen, maar wel aan de Serviërs eisen dat ze Karadzic uitleveren.”

Vjesnik Ltd. Slavonska avenija 4 10 000 Zagreb att: President of the board Franjo Maletic, jur. Employee: Zeljko Peratovic from Zagreb, III Pile 25 DEMAND FOR PROTECTION OF RIGHTS IN LABOUR RELATION Dear Sirs, On the day 16th of August 2005. I received the Resolution of Management of Irregular dismissal of working contract. I suggest that you put out of order this Resolution of Management from 4th August, because most of the contents in Explanation of it is not according to the facts. Conected with Your opening remark that I was in 2002. warned from former Management that I didn't fulfill obligations in accordance with Regulations of work, I must remind You that I in Declaration to Employment council from 28th July, and in declaration to You from 3th August, said that in the very misunderstanding with editorial office at that time, the best informations could be heard from at that time chief editor of Vjesnik, Kresimir Fijacko, and his deputy, Miroslav Lezaja. Colleague Lezaja, on the news that Management wants to give me dismissal, among others, guiding by Warning from 2002., said that he is personally ready testify that was misunderstanding, after my cooperation with editorial office got better on mutual benefit. Anyway, at that time third man of editorial office, executive editor, Zlatko Herljevic, suggested several of my texts from Vjesnik in 2003., about Gotovina affair, for award Marija Juric Zagorka, in subcategory for investigative journalism. Some of the texts that I have published in 2002. in Vjesnik, were rewarded from Reporters without borders of Austria, by award Press Freedom Award 2003. So I suggest once more to, from former editorial stuff, try to find out directly what kind of worker I was. It is true that in Feral Tribune on 22 July 2005. was published big interview with Pavle Gazi, which I signed, and that I didn't have written approval for that. Also, I must remind, that in my declarations to Empolyment council from 28 July and to You, as a President of the board since 3 August, I have pointed out all circumstances how it came to that I have behaved contrary to Working contract. I consider that in those declarations, wishing to clear misunderstandings, cleared enough circumstances because of which I made mistakes, and the copies of the same I send to you again. From your Explanation I don't see that you during making decision about my Irregular dismissal, consulted my declarations at all, and that you even give untruth states that I have denied to defense myself. The truth is that I couldn't come on conversation with Mr Ivica Kriletic in Juridicial service on 1 August, because I was on sick leave, what he knew personally, because he, from hands of my brother, Mladen Peratovic, got doctor's note of excuse. Also, at that time, my doctor recomended me avoiding contacts with stress factors, and my medical condition was in great part result of mobbing which I have experienced in editorial office, so my brother instead of me gave the note of excuse.

Ms. Gordana Tintor

My defense I gave to Employment council (Working council) in written form on 28 July, my witness for that was colleague Gordana Tintor from the council. She asked from me, in front of council, to give special declaration also to You, what I have done in written form on 3 August and have sent by fax. So, it is not truth the state in Explanation that I have defaulted on call to give my defense, what except colleague Tintor, can also confirm other witnesses. Considering that this kind of Irregular dismissal can be interpreted as finish of process of mobbing, which was done towards me in time of this Management and former chief editor, Andrea Latinovic, latest since September 2004. till now, I suggest to put this resolution out of order.

Ms. Marijana Matkovic

The editor Marijana Matkovic, whom on 22 July I informed about serious death threats, which I reported to police the same day, told me that Management and editorial office got for perusal my Suggestion of settlement to State attorney's office of Croatia, connected with POA case. She didn't pay attention on the fact that I got death threats, but she pointed out that in Management and editorial office were very furious with me when they saw that I have in Suggestion of settlement described mobbing in Vjesnik, and that after that interview in Feral I would get Irregular dismissal for sure. This is another proof which would go in favour of thesis that my dismissal in Vjesnik was preparing earlier than I made a mistake with interview in Feral. Moreover, I don't have the information whether Management was legaly informed about the contents of my Suggestion of settlement and what was said about the contents which were related to Vjesnik. Because of all this mentioned, I suggest to the Management to examine once more the resolution about Irregular dismissal and to put it out of order. In Zagreb, 29th August 2005. employee Zeljko Peratovic Enclosures: 1. Declaration to President of the Board from 3th August 2. Declaration to Employment council of Vjesnik P Ltd. from 28th July 3. Vjesnik's printout of working version of text about murder of Stjepan Djurekovic from 11th July, which was ordered, but without explanation, not published

I submited to Employment council on its demand. On that date, when I have sent an official letter to the Council, I was told that Management would be informed about that. However, the next day, on 29 July 2005. I got a phone call from Mr Kriletic from Vjesnik's management office to come and collect my dismissal letter. I told him that I couldn't because I was in surgery, because of previous mobbing in editorial office, death threats from Switzerland which I reported to police, and about what Novi list was writing, death of my mother, and notice that I would be dismissed, I got sick. Mr Kriletic told me to come to see him on 1st August of this year in 9:00. I answered that I would do that if I could.

Irregular dismissal - Vjesnik

2005-09-10T01:03:00.000+02:00

Employment council of Vjesnik Ltd.

Zagreb,28 July 2005

Subject: Declaration about Resolution of Management of Vjesnik Ltd. from 25 July this year to give to journalist Zeljko Peratovic Irregular dismissal of working contract because of heavy violation of working duty

Dear Sir, I, beneath signed journalist of internal politics editorial office of Vjesnik, Zeljko Peratovic, in this way, want to explain my point of view of circumstances which Management gives as a reason to give me Irregular dismissal of working contract. The interview with Pavle Gazi, socialistic Minister of police in Socialistic Republic of Croatia (1982./1983.) published in weekly magazine Feral Tribune nr. 1035, under title Djurekovic is killed outside of protocol, I consider as my work of authorship (that's why it is not under pseudonym). Since 1983. till today Mr Gazi gave only two interviews, both to me. One for Fokus in 2000., and another could be published in Vjesnik, if editorial office wanted that. I made the interview on my own expense, travelling on non-working day, by friend's car in Koprivnica, where Mr Gazi lives, taking photos with my own camera, using my own film, and paying for the photographs. At the same time, the interview is written and sent to editorial office of Feral out of working hours in Vjesnik. By this I want to say that I don't think that I, by any material means, damaged Vjesnik by publishing Gazi's interview in magazine Feral Tribune. I addmit that I have violated the term of working contract, which says that it is allowed to the journalists of Vjesnik to cooperate with other medias exclusively with consent of employer, that is editorial office.

Editor Zoran Vodopija

Considering the importance of theme which Mr Gazi was talking about, and the fact that I have previously talked with him about murder of Stjepan Djurekovic for Vjesnik (enclosure 1.) by previous agreement with chief editor, Andrea Latinovic, editor Zoran Vodopija, editor Nada Dmitrovic and assisstant of director for editorial office, dr. Goran Popovic, and as that arranged conversation for Vjesnik wasn't done, and I got no explanation from mentioned people, and asked for it from dr. Popovic and editor Dmitrovic, leading the principle of freedom of reporting, and also law regulations which forbid censorship, extended conversation from Vjesnik, made on my expense, I published in Feral Tribune.

The text for Vjesnik was written on 11 July 2005. in 14:54, and chief editor took a look at it in 15:14 and by words of editor Nada Dmitrovic, forbided its publishing without any explanation. I was ready, in accordance with higher professional standards or new Vjesnik's general editorial approach, remodel mentioned text, write new, or make for Vjesnik only interview with Pavle Gazi, about I have talked on 12 July 2005 with assisstant of director for editorial office, dr. Goran Popovic. He promised me that he would talk with chief editor Andrea Latinovic, connected with this problem, and that I would be informed about everything on time. By the way, I told him about series of problems that I had in communication with at that days chief editor, starting with September 2005, when she accused me publicly that on my text were coming complaints and to the director Franjo Maletic. About these complaints to dr. Popovic you can find out more in one part of my Suggestion to State attorney's office of Croatia for peaceful settlement of dispute, connected with result of violation of human rights, which I experienced from Counterintelligence agency, and what was officialy recognised byCouncil for internal politics and national security of Croatian Parliament (enclosure 2.). I informed dr. Popovic that I, because of mobbing which I was exposed to by at that time chief editor Andrea Latinovic, was forced to be two months on sick leave, that was, psychiatric medical treatment, in May and June of this year. It was medicaly proved, and that can confirm also my doctor, that journalist profession is specific, and that censorship and mobbing, that is, impossibility of writing and publishing, can cause serious mental damages.

So, as at that days chief editor or assisstant of director, and other editors, couldn't explain what would happen with my text about murder of Stjepan Djurekovic, which exactly today gets great international dimension, I thought that on written approval to that, or expanded text on the same theme, to publish somewhere else, I might wait or till death of Mr Gazi or probably till change of whole editorial management and structure of Vjesnik, or God save, till closing the newspapers, and what I thought was contrary to all journalist principals of in due time and truthful reporting.

Conected with complaint that I in 2002. also got warning about possible Irregular dismissal of working contract from at that time director Rikard Pompe, I ask from Employment council to ask fo opinion about that at that time chief editor Kresimir Fijacko, his deputy Miroslav Lezaja, and executive editor Zlatko Herljevic, who in 2003 propose me in name of Vjesnik's branch in Croatian journalist association for its award for investigative journalism. Reporters without borders of Austria awarded me with international award for investigative journalism Press Freedom – Signal für Europa 2003, partly thanks to texts published exactly in Vjesnik. Best regards, Zeljko Peratovic

Hrvoje Petrac is a big hole in Action plan

Exactly on 10.07.2004. in Vjesnik, under title: NOBODY WANTS TO BE CONNECTED WITH HRVOJE PETRAC, I published:

By the latest unofficial informations, Hrvoje Petrac is hiding in Greece for kidnaping general Vladimir Zagorac's son, where recently, totaly unofficialy was one person from the top of OA.

That person was Sasa Perkovic, at that time, assisstant of chief of POA, Damir Loncaric, and today he is advisor of President Stjepan Mesic for national security, else son of Josip Perkovic, the most powerful Croatian spy, for whom Boze Vukusic says that he is under German investigation about murder of Stjepan Djurekovic. Sasa Perkovic, while he was in Greece, had a little car accident, his official car war damaged, what caused little problems with police, because Perkovic junior was there unofficialy, that means, he was not registrated with domestic authorities, so contrariwise to international diplomatic-intelligence regulations.And OA at that time didn't have in Greece no accreditted intelligence attache in embassy in Athens. Considering that Sasa Perkovic, during first Petrac's escape to police in 2001., together with Ranko Ostojic, former chief of police, visited Hrvoje near Villach, after what the controverse tycoon appeared in Zagreb and gave statement to the police in Heinzlova Street that he had nothing with murder of Vjeko Slisko, it was not difficult to conclude that assisstant of chief of OA stayed in Greece to conntact with Petrac. Conntacts of Ranko Ostojic and Sasa Perkovic during first escape with Petrac, later a few months ago, described Ivo Pukanic, as it could be considered as Petrac's warning. Through Pukanic also was warned chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko by information in which was claimed that Karamarko, at the beginning of 90-ties, by intervention of Damir Loncaric, became subtenant at Alica Petrac, that means Petrac's. That authorities knew all the time where was heading now arrested tycoon, as they knew Matekovic's moving, and they surely knew where Gotovina was, confirmed also my another text in Vjesnik from 26th July 2004.:Will Petrac after surrender go to hospital? (on croatian at this link):

Hrvoje Petrac, businessman after whom is Interpol's APB because of accusation that he participated in kidnaping of retired general Vladimir Zagorac's son, and to whom was prohibited entering in countries of EU, because there were suspicions that he helped runaway general Ante Gotovina, could be back to Croatia these days. The source from judicial circles said for Vjesnik that about that case are informed in Supreme state attorney's office and Ministry of police, and these days in those institutions are held consultations about the model of Petrac's «surrender»... Vjesnik's source claims that persons close to Hrvoje Petrac about new diagnosis conntacted with authorized doctors in Zagreb's hospitals Sestre milosrdnice (Sisters of mercy) and Sveti duh. For Petrac the staying abroad was made worse, not only because of Interpol's APB, but also because of decision of Union, which prohibited entering in countries members.

Those consultations were in Kuniscak (Intelligence Agency), in office of Damir Loncaric, and there were supposedly Principal state attorney, Mladen Bajic, highly ranked person in Ministry of police, Vladimir Faber and some of doctors from mentioned hospitals. After publishing this text, Faber travelled half-incognito out of country. But then there was no Petrac's surrender, and I found out that attorney, Milenko Umicevic, is very interested in my writing. As in Greece were held Olympic Games, because of danger of many securities, Hrvoje Petrac transfered himself to Israel. Supposedly later he was moving between Israel, Greece, Turkey, Malta and Croatia. When this year in April, journalists close to chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko said that Hrvoje Petrac was in Israel, and that he would be arrested any moment, spoke President Mesic, who was often connected with runaway tycoon, and what I registrated in text:Mesic's campaign of support to Petrac (on croatian at this link):

By Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, to runaway tycoon condemned on six years of prison for kidnaping of general Zagorac's son, the trial should be repeted, because he was condemned in absence. Asked about informations that Hrvoje Petrac was in Israel, Mesic said that great suspicions that he was exactly there, but that was not for sure. Besides, he emphasized,that there were no evidences that Petrac was involved in financing escape or staying of general Gotovina abroad. I haven't seen any evidence, there are only suspicions, said Mesic, emphasizing that Petrac should come to Croatia. He said that Petrac was condemned in absence, and the trial should be repeted after his arrival.

Because of all that, I personaly don't believe that actual arrests of Ico Matekovic and Hrvoje Petrac are result of some serious work of our police and secret services and cooperation with their international partners, as Principal state attorney, Mladen Bajic, and President Stjepan Mesic claim, or it is about serious achievments of Action plan, which should fascinate Carla Del Ponte and Ministers of foreign affairs in EU. First, it is only matter of actions of government, for which was enough only political will, which wasn't there before. Second, in repeted trial, which was announced by President Mesic, when he was hoping that Ivica Crnic would stay the President of Supreme court (which decides about repeted trial or cancellation of first instance verdict) Hrvoje and Novica Petrac, also as Ico Matekovic, could be liberated. It is enough that three convicts, who didn't appeal on verdicts in repeted trial as witnesses change their testimonies and all evidences against the three mentioned are wasted. Unofficialy there are speculations that Ico Matekovic pull chain with Hrvoje Petrac and that all guilt for kidnaping of Zagorac's son will put on him, and based on that those who believe in honest intentions and professional moves of government, will think that Hrvoje Petrac will stay in prison really for a long time. Partly those speculations have basis in statements of Djurdja Matekovic, who said that her sons came to protect her from Petrac's and Zagorac's men. On that way Djurdja Matekovic confirmed that she knew that Ico was in Croatia, but she revealed unintentionally, that other two sons, condemned on less years in prison, were also in country. That Petrac could put Matekovic under pressure can be read from text of Dean Sinovcic, in these weeks Nacional, who wrote, among other things, that during las six months Zagorac's telephone has been tapped, and in one caught conversation, Ico Matekovic, supposedly said to Vladimir Zagorac that he owned him 750.000 € of ransome for son. Nevertheless, crime report experts from Zagreb's coffee shop Kapuciner, say that was impossible that police tapped for last six months Zagorac's telephone, in other words, if it was done by POA and really registrated that conversation, it can't be evidence in court. So, Ico Matekovic has no reason to worry and he doesn't have to testify against Petrac. Further, by death of Davorin Firis, disappeared only known evidence about connection of Hrvoje Petrac and Ante Gotovina. Namely, USKOK recently found out that Davorin Firis, as a director of Petrac's casino Vega concealed great amount of taxes, and there were doubts that money was used for financing escape of Ante Gotovina. Firis recently died in suspicious car accident and through him can't be any more connected Petrac and Gotovina. So, President Mesic was a prophet when he said several months ago that he didn't know about any evidences about their connections. Why then Carla Del Ponte and Ministers of foreign affairs in EU should believe that Croatia is doing serious efforts on fulfilling Action plan which final goal is deliver Ante Gotovina in Haag?! -Anyway, if you caught these two men so fast, we don't believe that you are not capable to do that with Gotovina, is the most possible answer that will come from Carla and EU Ministers. And as sources close to ICTY say that Haag's court is not fascinated by Osjek's investigation of war crimes in 1991/92., that is, they are not interested in swop Branimir Glavas for Ante Gotovina.

Investigation of German police and judicature for murder of well-known Croatian emigrant Stjepan Djurekovic in 1983. in München, which was organised by Yugoslav secret police, didn't stop on recent arrest of former Yugo-agent Krunoslav Prates. Vukusic reveales in front of German police these days gave testimony again Boze Vukusic, who did it once, together with president of HSP, Anto Djapic, considering that Djapic's uncle was also murdered in Germany. Vukusic revealed to us that investigation is on against Josip Perkovic , former chief of Yugoslav Service of state security and former assisstant of Minister of defense, whose son Sasa is today advisor for national security of President Stipe Mesic. Zvonimir Despot, Večernji list, 31. 08. 2005.

There has passed more than month and a half since I was rejected in Vjesnik to publish a text on this theme, in which only Josip Perkovic of all called interlocutors (Josip Boljkovac, Josip Manolic and Pavle Gazi gave statements) refused to give statement what he thought about doubts on his account. Perkovic called me on 12th July, when text didn't come out, and merely informed me that the day before, when I called him and left him messages on answering machine, just ran out of battery in mobile phone, so he didn't hear me. He suggested to meet him in couple of days with one journalist (who would probably be guarantee that he would not make threats again or a witness that he didn't make threats to me), because he needs time to remember things from 1992., and that all are KOS's frauds of Branko Trazivuk, and Ivan Lasic...

By Ivo Pukanic: Josip Perkovic and Ivan Lasic in Institute of state safety in Belgrade in 1986. in occasion of retiring of Predrag Djordjevic

Meanwhile in Globus was published text by Gordan Malic , in which case Djurekovic-Prates-Perkovic presented as conflict of German secret service with British. Malic's thesis was that German intelligence service put Perkovic under pressure, because it was known that Perkovic cooperated with British intelligence service in hunt on Gotovina. Malic promote Josip and Sasa Perkovic as hunters on Gotovina, publishing parts of Turek's presentation, concluding that two of them were also on Turek's list of persons considered as cooperators of British intelligence service. I thought that Turek was cleverer, but he put me also on the same list, and also Perkovic's biggest public abnegator from lines of intelligence community, Dragutin Franciskovic. Franciskovic even today claims that Susak and Perkovic made paralel commanding system in HV (Croatian army) which controlled, encouraged, non-processing... crimes and criminal acts in HV.

Only several years after celebration in Belgrade's center of UDBA, Josip Perkovic became the right hand of Croatian Minister of defense, Gojko Susak. On the left in the picture with them is the third man of paralel commanding line, retired general Mate Lausic.

The results of Malic's text are the following facts:

1. Sasa Perkovic suddenlly became advisor of President Mesic for national security. 2. Ranko Ostojic is a candidate for director of Slobodna Dalmacija. 3. The State attorney's office didn't acknowledge to me violated human rights in case Turek's Presentation. 4. Dragutin Franciskovic is still dragging on courts with Globus, who is from pen of Gordan Malic and Igor Alborghetti declared for chief of intelligence underground, which disinforms Carla Del Ponte that Ante Gotovina is in Croatia. In that text Malic and Alborghetti called themselves upon evidences of POA, which were collected by Franjo Turek. They didn't mention Perkovic as a part of that underground. And here is the text from Vjesnik which Andrea Latinovic, without any explanation, refused to publish (she probably realised if she talks more, she only accumulates arguments against herself) , and which initiated that Franjo Maletic, director of Vjesnik dismiss me: Djurekovic's murder and Friedrich Zimmermann Despot in Vecernji list speculates that possible trial to Josip Perkovic for participating in murder of Stjepan Djurekovic might be in Croatia, because our country does not deliver its citizens (except to ICTY). I doubt that our judicature could handle such burden.

Josip Perkovic, Celestin Sardelic, Miroslav Separovic and Igor Dolanc, propose a toast at the and of 1999. on opening of Separovic's attorney office. Josip Perkovic is even today in great relations with influential HDZ person in area of judicature, former Minister of judicature and chief of HIS (Croatian Information Service), Miroslav Separovic.

Jahrestag des Mordes an Levar

Gefährliche Verbindungen

Von Slobodan Snajder*

Wissen ist Ohnmacht

Morgen jährt sich zum fünften Mal der Tag des hinterhältigen Mordes an Milan Levar. Fünf Jahre! Wie die Zeit vergeht! Zehn Jahre ist die Operation Gewitter her, volle fünfzehn Jahre die Auflösung der einstigen staatlichen Gemeinschaft, die uns so teuer zu stehen gekommen ist. Aber die Fragen und die Zweifel wollen einfach nicht weniger werden. Im Gegenteil: Sie werden immer mehr. Die Fragen sollen in regelmäßigen Abständen wieder aufgeworfen werden – zum Beispiel aus Anlass dieses oder jenes Jahrestages. Sie kommen wieder, wie die Verbrecher an den Ort ihrer Tat zurückkehren, weil das für sie der Ort einer unbegreiflichen Anziehung ist. Fragen als Verbrechen? Sind Fragen über Verbrechen selbst Verbrechen? Soll man sie also verschweigen? Wegscheuchen? Entfernen? So verschwinden die Fragen, und jetzt werde ich das wenigstens denen noch einmal denen vorführen, die das überhaupt interessiert. Wer in Kroatien fragt, ist ein Vagabund. Und am Ende wird die Dunkelheit ihn verschlingen.

Wen das alles interessiert, der kann in meinem Buch zum Begräbnis von Milan Levar vor fünf Jahren Folgendes lesen: "Milan Levar wird unter den Augen nur sehr weniger Menschen in sein Grab hinuntergelassen, und mehr oder weniger schweigend. Über der Erde der Staat hat geschwiegen. Ebenso hat die kroatische Gesellschaft, noch immer in vornehmer Trauer aus Anlass eines ganz anderen Begräbnisses (einer tragisch umgekommenen Schauspielerin), es vorgezogen, die Beisetzung aus der Ferne zu beobachten. Nur die Polizei hat sich auf verschiedene Art und Weise tiefer über die Erde gebeugt. Sie hat den Verstorbenen gehütet wie ein wertvolles Schmuckstück, damit er wieder zum Leben erwacht. Milan Levar wurde im Hass beerdigt, am letzten Tage des Monats August, der auch sonst nichts Gutes gebracht hatte." (Sterben unter dem Stern, S. 97. Der Text trägt das Datum 4. September 2000.) Und das sollte noch hinzugefügt werden:

Sei der kroatische Hass dir leicht! - wo du unter ihm schon begraben liegst. An der selben Stelle, jetzt im Buch, habe ich die Spuren don Djapics stillem Triumph festgehalten, was sich so las: Levar musste wissen, was ihn erwartete! Er hat bekommen, was er wollte! Ist also aus der Fünfjahresperspektive alles in Ordnung? Levar hat bekommen, was er suchte. Dabei bekommen ja in Kroatien nicht alle alles, was sie wollen, bei Weitem nicht. Bis vor Kurzem wimmelte der Markusplatz (in Zagreb, d.Ü.) von Menschen, die etwas wollten, es aber nicht bekamen. Aber der Lehrsatz des Djapic aus dem lange zurückliegenden Jahr 2000 ist kristallklar: Levar und seinesgleichen fallen in die kleine Gruppe derer, die damit rechnen müssen, dass sie bekommen, was sie wollen.

Was wollte denn Milan Levar?

Nichts für sich selbst. Er wollte nur ein offenes Ohr für das, dessen Zeuge er wohl oder übel geworden war – für das, was er gesehen hatte und womit er nicht in Frieden leben konnte. Am Ende dann haben sie ihn überhaupt nicht einmal leben lassen. Sein innerer Unfriede wurde beruhigt, er wurde, nach Ante Djapic, zufriedengestellt zufriedengestellt dh. beruhigt wurden auch jene, die Levar - würde er noch leben - sehr beunruhigen würde, von Zeit zu Zeit.

Erinnerungen an die Zukunft

Und nun: Fünf Jahre verstreichen. Der Titel der Kolumne hieß: "Wer ist der Nächste?" – an der Reihe der zu Beruhigenden und Zufriedenzustellenden. Und weiter steht da: "Wir, die wir Levars Begräbnis für einen schändlichen Skandal, geradezu genauso fürchterlich wie die Tatsache seiner hinterhältigen Ermordung durch die Hand des kroatischen Faschismus, wir sind allein mit dieser unserer Ansicht schon selber Kandidaten für die Ewigkeit, an die wir, nebenbei gesagt, nicht glauben. Ich weiß nicht, wo Levars Seele jetzt ist, außer vielleicht in einer Erinnerung an die Zukunft eines ganz anderen Landes, das, wie die Dinge heute stehen, seinen Namen in diese Zukunft mitnehmen kann."

Fragen wir noch einmal: Wo ist Levars Seele jetzt?

In der langen Zeit zwischen dem Begräbnis und heute sind politische Garnituren und Koalitionen über unsere Köpfe hinweggebraust, die Geheimdienste wurden durchgelüftet, schwer war der Kampf für die Wahrheit, die ganze und endgültige Wahrheit (zum Beispiel über den "Vaterländischen Krieg", zum Beispiel über die dunklen Hintergründe von Gospic und anderen Ereignisse), gewaltig erbebte der kroatische Olymp ... aber das Mäuschen Wahrheit ist nirgends zum Vorschein gekommen. Fünf Jahre! Das ist länger als bei uns der Zweite Weltkrieg gedauert hat. Eine halbe Dekade der Manipulationen, der Einschüchterungen, des Schweigens ... besonders bei der Frage und die ganze und endgültige Wahrheit!

Fünf Jahre also. Levars kleiner Sohn bekam das Fahrrädchen aufgedrängt, das er sich so sehr gewünscht hatte, seiner Witwe so etwas wie eine bescheidene Rente – das erinnert mich alles an den wunderlichen Ausgleich mit den Angehörigen der Familie Zec, Opfer eines früheren "Erfolges" des kroatischen Faschismus (wie die Todesschwadronen in der Kolumne des Jahres 2000 korrekt bezeichnet wurden). Fahrrad + Rente = BLUTGELD. Vielleicht wäre es im Sinne der Durchschaubarkeit dieses Handels nicht schlecht, wenn der Staat eine Preisliste derartiger Arrangements erlassen würde, vielleicht mit Hilfe einer Parlamentskommission unter Vorsitz von Anto Djapic, nach Möglichkeit dem aus dem Jahr 2000. (Wenngleich seine jüngsten Aussagen im Fall Glavas relativ ähnlich klingen.) Allerdings könnte Levars kleiner Sohn eines Tages selbst etwas fragen, etwas sehr Unangenehmes: Wie der Vater ihm sein Fahrrad besorgt hat.

Peratovic in der Lage des Don Quichotte

Mit dem erwähnten Blutgeld hat der Staat, der sich am Tage des Levar-Begräbnisses einige andere Feierlichkeiten aus dem Angebot aussuchte, seinen riesigen, ausschlaggebenden Anteil an der Schuld zugegeben, die darin bestand, dass er den Mann, der zuviel wusste, nicht beschützt hat; den Mann, der über das, was er gesehen hatte, zu sprechen begonnen hatte, was in Kroatien im Großen und Ganzen eine atypische Entwicklung ist. Einer derjenigen, die auf eigene Initiative und im Geiste des investigativen Journalismus, einige Fakten über die hinterhältige Ermordung Levars zusammengetragen haben, ist der mehrfach ausgezeichnete Journalist Zeljko Peratovic. In der Journalistenbranche gilt er heute sicher als einer der Kompetentesten, was das angeht, was man über Levar weiß, aber nicht wissen sollte. Er weiß zum Beispiel, wie die Liquidierung angekündigt wurde und wer sie angekündigt hat. Viele Male hat er den Zuständigen vorgeschlagen, Ermittlungen aufzunehmen, und gebeten, ja gebettelt, dass man auch ihm zuhört und dass er jemandem, der im System der "Aufklärung" an einem entscheidenden Hebel sitzt, sagen konnte, was er wusste. Aber sein Wissen war nicht willkommen. Peratovic befindet sich schon seit Jahren gewissermaßen in der Lage des Don Quichotte. Nur die Windmühlen, mit denen er sich herumschlägt, sind keine Trugbilder, sondern Leute in Positionen, die diese Positionen verteidigen, indem sie die Wahrheit entmutigen. Die Wahrheit über den Mord an Levar – der ganz offensichtlich die Frucht der Zusammenarbeit von hochgestellten Mächtigen und gemeinen Schlächtern und Mördern war – braucht scheinbar niemand. Mehr noch, sie ist so gefährlich, dass man sie wie ein Staatsgeheimnis (oder sollte man sagen: wie eine Staatsschande) in der Krypta staatlicher Interessen und Ansprüche bewahrt. In einer solchen Situation ist Wissen tatsächlich Ohnmacht. Mehr noch: Es ist gefährlich.

Peratovic hat die Gelegenheit, diese Tatsache mit der teuren Methode der eigenen Haut zu belegen: Rasch wurde ihm die Entlassung beim "Vjesnik" ausgehändigt, diesem staatlichen Hüter staatlicher Interessen und Wahrheiten, mit Erklärungen, die das Wasser nicht halten. Er hat in (der Wochenzeitung) Feral Tribune ein Interview veröffentlicht, für das seine eigene Redaktion kein Interesse hatte! Das konnte als Anlass dienen (Interessenkonflikt), aber der wahre Grund liegt darin, dass Peratovic auf Tatsachen, Namen, gefährlichen Verbindungen zu insistieren pflegte, die er dann – mit eigenen Recherchen - durchtränkt hat, insbesondere über die Ereignisse von Gospic und ähnliche Düsternisse. Im Entlassungsschreiben streiten sie ab, dass er ein guter Journalist sei. Die Welt denkt darüber anders. In einem erzürnten Schreiben erinnern die "Reporter ohne Grenzen" den Direktor des Vjesnik (Franjo Maletic) daran, dass Peratovic gerade für seine Recherchen mit hohen internationalen Auszeichnungen bedacht wurde, darunter auch dem der eigenen Organsiation (er bekam den Press Freedom Award 2003). Wie in ähnlichen Fällen ist die einzige Chance für die Wahrheit, dass sein Fall sich internationalisiert. Staatliche Zeitungen werfen jeden aus ihren Reihen hinaus, der dem Staat, dem die Zeitung gehört, unangenehm wird. Das ist nichts Neues, aber man muss wissen, um was für einen Staat und was für eine Wahrheit es sich hier handelt. Auf eine Weise (besser: auf jede mögliche Weise) setzt sich, fünf Jahre nach Mord und Begräbnis, der Skandal der Abwesenheit, des Nicht-Geschehen-Seins, des Fernbleibens des Staates fort.

Anniversary of Levar's murder

2005-08-28T20:01:00.000+02:00

Novi list, 27 August 2005. Attachement Pogled, page 7 (on croatian at 45 lines) Dangerous connections Writes Slobodan Snajder

The knowledge is impotence Tomorrow will be fifth anniversary of tormented Levar's murder. Five years! How quickly time flies! It is ten years now since Oluja (Storm), almost fifteen since the beginning of dissolution of former country community, which came out so expensive. And questions and doubts are not decreasing; but on contrary, only increases all the time. Some of the questions appear in regular intervals – for example, when is time for some of anniversaries. It appears as criminals bounded for scene of a crime, which is for them, a place of incomprehensible come-on. Questions as criminals? Questions about criminals as criminals? Should they be silenced, scare them, isolate? That seems so, and now I'm going to demonstrate it once more, to those rears who are interested in subject. In Croatia, who asks, wanders a lot. And in the end, dark will eat him alive. Easy on you that Croatian hate Those rares who are interested in this, can in my book, and related to Levar's funeral, five years ago, read the following: «Milan Levar is put down in grave, in front of not many people, and more or less, in silence. Over the grave the State kept in silence.

Zeljka Antunovic, Dubravko Novak, Ante Frkovic and Sinisa Jagodic

Civil Croatia also like that, still is in one elegant mourning, because of completely different reason (funeral of tragicaly died actress), choose to watch this funeral from distance. Only police, all kinds of police, bend over the grave abundantly. Police was guarding the deceased as a great treasure, as if he could rise alive. Milan Levar was buried in hate, the last day of August, which didn't bring any good, anyway. «(Die under stars, page 97. Text is on date 4. September 2000.). It was good to add: Easy on you that Croatian hate!, as far as he buried in it. On that same place, now in the book, I made a note of footsteps of Djapic's silent triumph, which was shown like that: Levar had to know what would happen to him! He got what he deserved! So, then, let's say it from this five-year perspective, everything is all right? Levar got what he deserved. Not everybody get in Croatia what they ask for, far from that. Mark's square, till recently, was full of those people who were asking for something, and they didn't get anything. But Djapic's axiom, from not far 2000.,crystaly clear: Levar and those like him, belong to not very big group of those who must count on that they would get what they ask for. Anto Djapic What Milan Levar was looking for? Nothing for himself. He was onla looking for a good ear for what he has seen, forced or willingly; for what he saw, and he couldn't live with that peacefully. So, finally, he wasn't let to live: his unrest is calmed down, he is, according to Ante Djapic, paid, and paid are also, that means, calmed down, those who would be very disturbed because of Levar, if he was alive, from time to time. Memory of the future There it goes: five years has passed. The title of the column was: «Who is next?» in queue for peyment and relax. Also is: «We think of Levar's funeral as a shameful scandal, almost as horrible as the very act of torturing murder, done by a hand of Croatian fascism, we are by the very fact of it candidates for eternity, in which, by the way, we don't trust very much. I don't know where is Levar's soul right now, except in some memory of future of one of completely different country, which, so far, in that future can take only its name». So let's ask once more: Where is Levar's soul right now? In long meantime, since the funeral till today, over our heads have passed ensembles and coalitions, secret services have been on wind and have been evaporated (checked), a hard battle was fought for the truth, for the whole and final truth (for example, about «civil war», events in Gospic's and other darkened backgrounds), Croatian political Olimp was trembling very much...but the mouse of truth didn't run out. Five years! It is longer than on our areas lasted World War II. That is whole five-year plan of manipulation, frightening, speechlessness...especialy when we talk about whole and final truth! Five years, then. To Levar's son was given a bike which he wanted very much, and to Levar's widow something like humble rent – it all reminds me of wondering settlement with descendants of Zec family, whose members were killed in one of earlier «success» of Croatian fascism (as the squadrons of death exactly were named in column in 2000.). Bike+rent=BLOOD-MONEY. Maybe it wouldn't be bad , because of transparency of the trade like this that state makes price list of arrangements as this one with help of one highly ranked Parliamentary commission, and President would be Anto Djapic, if possible, the politician from 2000. (Although his recent statements in Glavas case are pretty the same.) Indeed, Levar's son could himself one day ask something, even very unpleasant; for example, how come that his father appeared in bike. Peratovic in Don Quixoteic situation By mentioned blood-money, the state, which on the day of Levar's funeral choose some other ceremony from offer, admited its part of guilt, huge and crucial, because it didn't protect the man, who knew too much, who started to talk about things he knew, which was extremely obnoxious development for Croatia. One of those who with his initiative, and in spirit so called, investigative journalism, collected some knowledgements about torturing liquidation of Milan Levar is many times awarded journalist Zeljko Peratovic. In journalist profession he is certanly in line of those the most competent for the things known about Levar, and not suppose to be known. He knows, for instance, that liquidation was announced and who announced it. Many times in that connection he suggested to the authorised ones to start investigative activities, and he pleased (literaly), to listen to him and to someone who holds this or that lever in hand in «intelligence community», say what he knows. But his knowledge was not wellcome. Peratovic is for years in rather Don Quixoteic situation, only windmills he is fighting against, are not some ghosts, but people on positions, who protect their positions, and in that way discourage the truth. The truth about Levar's liquidation – which is obviously the fruit of cooperation highly ranked powerful people and banal slaughtermen and murderes – seems that nobody needs it. Indeed, it is so dangerous, that is, as some state secret (not to say: shame), guarded in crypt of state interests and reasons. In such situation the knowledge is in fact impotence. Even more than that: it is dangerous. Milan Levar and Zeljko Peratovic near Graz, Austria,1999 Peratovic has the chance to check this fact by expensive method of personal skin: he was given a fast dismissal in «Vjesnik», that state guardian of state interests and truths, with explanations which don't make sense. He published in Feral an interview for which his recent editorial office didn't show any interest! That could be a motive (conflict of interests), but the real reason is that Peratovic insisted on facts, names, dangerous connections, which he, by personal investigative activities, came up to, especialy about Gospic and similar darknesses. In his dismissal is denied as a good journalist. The worl doesn't think so. In an angry official letter of association «Reporters without borders of Austria», remind the director of «Vjesnik» (Franjo Maletic) that Peratovic, exactly during his investigation, awarded with prominent international awards, among others, also form mentioned association (he got Press Freedom Award 2003.). As in similar cases, only chance for the truth, in this case also Peratovic's, that his newly case internationalise. The state newspapers will throw out of its lines a person who is unpleasant for the state; there is nothing new about that, but it has to be known about what kind of state, what truth is all about. In some way (better: in every way), five years after murder and funeral, is perpetuated the scandal of absence, not-doing, deafness of the state for the truth.

State attorney's office rebounded the settlement

2005-08-28T18:25:00.000+02:00

Post is published on 45 lines 26.08.2005. at 11:07 Official letter of State attorney's office by which my suggestion for settlement related to case of POA is denied

I was informed by attorney Luka Susak that Sandra Krickovic, deputy of county state attorney, have sent official letter in Zagreb in which was said that:

After insight in whole documentation this State attorney's office has concluded that there were no basis for assembling extrajudicial settlement.

That is the answer on Suggestion of settlement, which we sent, at the beginninig of May, to the Main state attorney, Mladen Bajic, related to conclusion of Parliamentar Committee for internal politics and national security, that there were justified doubts that POA has violated human rights of five journalists ( Gordan Malic, Ivanka Toma, Ivica Djikic, Mario Kavajin and Zeljko Peratovic). Considering that Jarnjak's Committee in its conclusion added that the whole documentation about research of report of five journalist would be given to State attorney's office on further process, and that I have on my Suggestion of settlement got this answer, it can be concluded that State attorney's office considers that there is no even justified doubts that Franjo Turek, as a chief of POA, in his Presentation to the top of the state (President Stjepan Mesic, Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, Minister Marijan Mlinaric and Minister Vesna Skare Ozbolt) violated human rights of journalists, accusing them for cooperation with domestic and foreign spies and Carla Del Ponte and spreading disinformations that fugitive Ante Gotovina was in Croatia, that was, in that way they worked against interests of Croatia. That also means that State attorney's office is on Franjo Turek's side and his accusations that five journalists were doing spy activities against interests of Croatia. If we were law-based state, now State attorney's office sholud raise criminal charges against journalists. But we are not, and they wouldn't. I'm not surprised by this posture of State attorney's office, considering that its main person (Mladen Bajic) regularly was getting reports from Franjo Turek about spy activities of journalists, even in time of Racan's government, and that he stands on side of Turek and Bagic, and by writtings of Ivo Pukanic, as one of pillars of government, was involved in helping Ante Gotovina.

Mladen Bajic

So, attorney Susak and me will take up finishing accusation against Croatia, in which we will enclose additional evidences and witnesses, representing the thesis that State has slandered me by Turek's claims and by posture of State attorney's office. So, who likes to play around with rights of freedom of speech and human destinies of journalists, let he be prepared to give away money for that vice.

Domagoj Margetic & ICTY

2005-08-27T20:06:00.000+02:00

Post is first published on 45 lines on 03.08.2005. at 03:47 AMAC forum put me on banner. The most important thing is that they on those their stupid pages advertise Domagoj Margetic, who was, by my source in POA' s top, together with Anto Roso, in mediating mission in Office of Minister of justice, Vesna Skare Ozbolt, and who sends her constantly SMS messages. Domagoj Margetic and Ivica Filipovic, from Ante Roso's Croatian Republicans, in the action I was also told that by highly-ranked source in POA, because that agency at the moment supervising all available communications in Croatia. The good thing is that, supposedly Tomislav Karamarko, from his firm Soboli (from which at the moment he transfered co-ownership on third person) transfered and private system for surveillance of electronic communications and experts for the same, on Ivan Baketa. Domagoj Margetic's helper in arranging the web site is former Vjesnik's research reporter (something like Djordje Licina) the expert for ustasha emigration, he was reporting, among other things, from Sweden about murder of YU ambassador , Vladimir Rolovic, and later alleged external coworker of Markica Rebic, certain Mario Profaca. Ante Damjanovic ( with beard, sits behind his bestman Tihomir Blaskic) in 1996. was arrested by SIS, because he supposedly wanted to hide the documentation which could help his bestman in defense on ICTY. Damjanovic was in 2000. advisor of Minister of defense for security, Jozo Rados, then he worked in RH Alan, and today he is the main role of the book Blaskic conspiracy by Jasna Babic, and he has a private business. On book promotion ceremony he was praised very much by Ivo Zanic. Supposedly once Ante Damjanovic, bestman of Tihomir Blaskic, gave one part of stenogram from closed meeting of Blaskovic's trial. It is almost unknown that investigators of Haag's judge at the end of 90-ties called on responsibility Profaca, because he published that secret part of the trial on his web pages. Mario Profaca After that, Profaca in written form told to Markica Rebic, the chief of SIS (counter intelligence military agency) in charge for obstruction of cooperation with ICTY, and about which he talked with investigators of ICTY and that he supposedly made fools of them. That his written report to Markica Rebic was sent to Haag recently by Mladen Bajic, because Carla Del Ponte asked for documents about obstruction of arrestment of Ahmic's group. That's why Mario Profaca and those like him, mentioned in this text, often sing Balasevic's rhyme: I follow you as Udba – you are my destiny...

Comments • Dear colleague Peratovic I don't know which are your motives for writing absolutely nonsense about me, but in this way I deny everything that you wrote about me on your pages and your blogs during several last months. I don't know if behind your lies and constructions is Vesna Skare Ozbolt? Or somebody else from executive power? May turn out to be useful to ask whom do you work for? You allow yourself to call by name lots of us journalists and ask the same. I'm in the service of truth, till you and those like you serve yet decades to truth by duty. This is my first and last denial on your pages, and to attorney group representing me I gave instructions for consideration of law charge for slander and emerged damage against you, so I hope that you will be able to prove on court all your claims said on your web. Otherwise I think that each journalist should be faced with consequences for publishing lies, untruth, constructions or disinformations. With all respect, Domagoj Margetic, the journalist (Domagoj Margetic 08.08.2005. 23:58) • Dear Sir Margetic, (I don't have intention to call you a colleague – one of us certainly don't belong in journalism – by no criterion) considering your review on 45 lines, I don't consider as a denial, (it is not clear to me what did you deny of this what is said on your account, except what you said that everything was a lie, and announced a law charge) I'm free to expain to readership my impression about your media work , reminding on lie. A conversation, several months ago, about supposing destruction of your book about President of Croatia, Stjepan Mesic, in which you , among other things, confirmed to me your acquaintance with Tomislav Karamarko (chief of POA) and Ivan Jarnjak (President of Parliament Committee for internal politics and national security). As you know, that conversation wasn't made, and you because you communicate with chief of POA, please call him and ask him why. So, I wanted to say, that my employer is not Tomislav Karamarko, or Markica Rebic, or others domestic or foreign spies, (French, English, American, German..., whoever) so maybe now is clearer why I don't think of you as my colleague and because of what I will gladly pay attention on your work in medias, which I consider suspected for journalism, and if you want, also national interests. Till reading (Zeljko, 14.08.2005. 23:51)

Markica Rebic

• Due honourable colleague Peratovic, you are full of hate and anger for somebody or something, so I as a believer recomend a prayer to you to achieve spiritual peace and stop to hate everything around you. Concerning my or your work, the best would be to look what is about you said in objective foreign medias, and not what write mercenaries in Croatia about me. This is the text wrote by objective foreign journalists about you: http//washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20050113-041835-4514r.htm Just to be known, please, pray a lot, and hate less. Domagoj Margetic (16.08.2005. 11:07) • Dear Margetic, that you are a journalist it could be said, also that you are a bad journalist, because you didn't notice that those frauds are linked on 45 lines in very right corner under title «Links on forums and other nets sites on which is disscusing about themes interesting for 45 lines». Those who follow events on 45 lines for a longer time, would confirm to you that that links were there since th ebeginning of blog. That even can Mate Basic confirm to you. So, I don't hide that frauds, but I work on uncovering who were assisstants who put them together, and who were masters who made them. Somehow I feel that you on the beginning of that campaign was not helper of assasstant, what doesn't mean that I will stop following your public appearance and declarations. Till reading, (Zeljko, 16.08.2005. 21:48)

Zeljko Bagic, Tomislav Karamarko and Imra Agotic

• Dear Peratovic, I wish very best to you in your life, and I will pray that hate in you disappear, which obviously eats you alive. I don't have any attention to insult you, as you do all the time, whether you are a good or bad journalist. I think that our readers give the final tevaluation about that. Thanks to God, I can walk through my town and look in the eyes everyone I meet. My neighbours also respect me, acquantainces and friends. And there are those others with whom I alway chat and exchange opinions. I don't want to judge as you do, I leave that to God. But I see, dear Zeljko, that you are full of hate, and I honestly say that I will pray for that. I understand you, I forgive you all untruths and lies that you wrote about me.

Tudjman, Galic und Verbrechen

2005-08-23T22:45:00.000+02:00

Als Mirko Galic im Oktober 1999 die Position des Chefredakteurs in Globus bekamund der glorreiche Denis Kuljis Chef vom Dienst wurde, hat man meine Schreibtätigkeit in dieser Zeitschrift aufs Eis gelegt. Da ich in meinen Nachforschungen auch politische Morde der jugoslawischen politischen Polizeiuntersuchte - und noch vor der Gerichtsverhandlung bewies, dass Bruno Busic nicht von Vinko Sindicic ermordet worden war, sondern dass Vice Vukojevic beidieser Farce Regie führte, um mit seinen ehemaligen Chefs von der UDBA (Staatssicherheitsdienst des ehemaligen SFR Jugoslawien, Bem. d. Übers.) abzurechnen - wollte mich Mirko Galic, um mich physisch aus der Redaktion zuentfernen, für 2 Monate nach Paris schicken, damit ich dort, an Ort und Stelle, herausfinde, von wem Bruno Busic ermordet wurde.

In der Globus-Kollegiumssitzung lachte sogar der trügerische Slaven Letica diese Idee aus:

-Hahaha, erst dort können die den Peratovic liquidieren!

Ich hatte keinen Ausweg.

Ich kannte einen kroatischen Lektor an der Sorbonne (Französisch kann ich kein Wort, abgesehen von erotischen Phrasen), so ergriffich die Galic's Idee mit der Anmerkung, ich gelang hier an so manche Entdeckung, die mir in Paris zugute kommen könne. Und, darauf Galic:

Nun, hören Sie mir, Herr Kollege, zu. Es wäre besser, Sie würden nicht hingehen. Das ist doch ein delikates Thema, jemand könnte uns anzeigen.

Als Tudjman noch klinische lebte, überredete mich Galic, einen zweimonatigen bezahlten Urlaub zu nehmen, da ich von all' diesen Themata, mit denen ich michbefaßt hatte, erschöpft sei und dasss ich als Kriegsreporter etwas von den Traumas abbekommen hätte.

Zuvor hat er mich aufgefordert, aufgrund der Themata, mit denen ich michbeschäftigte, ihm meine Synopsen abzuliefern, da er nicht der Meinung sei, das kroatische Volk sei faschistisch auferlegt. Ich sagte zu ihm, er hätte in diesem Falle meine Texte offensichtlich nicht gelesen, da ich mich immerzu auf die konkreten Leute als Zeugen berufen hätte, die wiederum konkrete Personen, Orte und Zeiten der begangenen Verbrechen aufgeführt haben und ich hätte nie davongehört, dass man in den geschriebenen Journalistenschriften für ein Thema das Synopsis zuvor abgeben müsste.

Ich nahm also diesen bezahlten Urlaub und saß in meiner Mietwohnung. Als mir dann das halbierte Urlaubsgehalt überwiesen wurde, rief ich Galic an. Er sagte zu mir, es sei deswegen, weil ich nichts arbeiten würde. Daraufhin habe ich ihmmit meiner Rechtsanwältin gedroht.

Ich habe ein paar Schreiben an die Journalistenverbände, die für den Schutz der Journalisten arbeiten, versendetund danach er wollte, wütend wie er war, aus der Haut fahren. Der Grund: kein ungeschliffener Provinzieller hätte ihn bislang der Zensur bezichtigt.

Die Augenzeugen behaupten, wäre ich in seiner Nähe gewesen, hätte er mich vom 12-Stockwerk des Vjesnik-Wolkenkratzers hinuntergeworfen. Da befand sich, nämlich, die Globus-Redaktion.

Hier seine Antwort an meine Rechtsanwältin (Orhideja Martinovic), die mich in diesem Falle vertretenhatte:

Mirko Galic
Zagreb, 10. Januar 2000
Sehr geehrte Frau Rechtsanwältin (Orhideja Martinovic),
Ihr Schreiben vom 23. Dezember 1999 beantworte ich mit Verspätung, hervorgerufen durch den Kalender der doppelten Feiertage und doppelter Wahlen.
Ihnen, als Bevollmächtigten des Herrn Zeljko Peratovic, möchte ich folgendes zu Antwortgeben:
Zum ersten, in bezug auf das Gehalt von Herrn Peratovic möchte ich Sie Kenntnis setzen, dass die Verlagsleiterin Frau Natasa Mijacika Pavicic eine Vereinbarung mit Herrn Peratovic getroffen hatte, ihm sollten alle anteiligen Beträge bis zum 15. Januar d.J. ausgezahlt werden und zwar so, als ob erregelmäßig beschäftigt worden wäre (dabei hatte er mit meinem Entscheid die Freiheit genossen, die im Prinzip für den Betrag der Stimulierung vermindertwäre).
Niemand hat Herrn Peratovic das Recht auf das Einkommen verwehrt, nur war sein Einkommen für den Betrag der Stimulierung vermindert und wird jetzt im vollen Umfang zurückerstattet, mit der Absicht, dass der Übergang in eine neue Redaktion seitens Herrn Peratovic, was er selber beschloß, erleichtert werde.
Zweitens, Herrn Peratovic wurden manche Texte nicht veröffentlicht, für manchehabe ich ihm persönlich gesagt, sie hätten keinen aktuellen Wert (z.B. «Die Affäre Ante Zuzul», «Der 1. Garderegiment in Zagreb», «Vukojevic - die Vergewaltigung in Mostar»*) und manche von denerwähnten Texten hat Herr Peratovic gar nicht geschrieben ).
Es ist nicht die Rede von der Zensur, die Sie mir vorwerfen und warum Sie mir drohen, sondern von der geänderten Redaktionspolitik von Globus, in der es immer weniger Platz für Affären und immer mehr Platz für seriöse analytische Texte gibt.
Ich glaube, Sie werden intim mit mir übereinstimmen, dass das Ernstwerden der Zeitschrift keinerlei Beziehung mit der Zensur hat.
In der Hoffnung, Sie werden den Ursprung der Missverständnisse verstehen, grüßeich Sie herzlich
Mirko Galic
