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