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 journalist-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.
