Bandic For Perkovic

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.

Quotations motivated by conflicts in british intelligence community

First quotations in British press about connections of Ante Gotovina and IRA, in fact, Northern Ireland, appeared after text in weekly magazine „Globus“ from 2003. In it there were quotations of POA and Police’s reports, in which was claiming that Gotovina’s escape in 2001., from Croatia to Italy, was helped by northernireland terorist by nick name Tony Cascarino, later called The Striker. Since then, some british medias – „The Belfast Telegraf“, „The Sunday Times“, „The Scotsman“,
„The Sunday Herald“ - wrote that Gotovina is in Northern Ireland, that Tony Cascarino alias The Striker, got him across the border, and that the Irish even made a robbery of the century in Belfast. Although they claimed that they had checked informations from serious British sources, mentioned medias mostly used the text from „Globus“ from 2003., and the informations from unofficial Internet site of Tony Cascarino, and texts from weekly magazine „Nacional“, in which was claimed that former chief of POA (Counter-intelligence agency), Franjo Turek, was meritorious for the deportation of agents of MI6 from Croatia, who, supposedly,were staying in Croatia by permission of Croatian authoroties, in order to find Gotovina. Mentioned medias published nonsense, not rarely, like the statement that The Striker took part in murder of , or that Gotovina was accused in Haag for crimes commited during the war i Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Velimir Kvesic, one of the commanders of HOS (Croatian Defence Forces), who fought in Vukovar, said that he has never heard that Irish Tony Cascarino took part in fights on Trpinja road or even been in Vukovar. More serious observers consider that the quotations are motivated by conflict inside British intelligence community, in which one fraction, for every evil in Britain wanted to accuse the Irish and critisized second fraction of being incompetent.

Zeljko Peratovic in Vjesnik

After publishing this article, the Intelligence Underground strikes back with Cryptome and The Washington Times

A Croatian journalist and MI6 agent in Croatia is a Mr. Zeljko Peratovic who works for the Vjesnik. He is one of the main planters of misinformation regarding the whereabouts of General Ante Gotovina in the Croatian media and has been specifically tasked with discrediting former combatants and officials of the former Tudjman regime. Remarkably, he has previously been unmasked, along with several other journalists by the former head of POA (Croatian counter-intelligence service) Franjo Turek, but still remains a journalist. His unmasking was confirmed by the President of Croatia Mr. Stjepan Mesic in the Feral Tribune no. 967 where it was stated that six journalists, including Globus’ Gordan Malic, (see: http://cryptome.quintessenz.org/mirror/mi6-croatia.htm) ex-chief of police department, Ranko Ostojic and several English diplomats, supplied incorrect and misleading information to the Croatian public that Ante Gotovina was in Croatia. Photographic evidence was also produced to prove the conspiracy. Several had links to the former Yugoslav National Army, which Gotovina’s army fought against. Mesic had been warned of the MI6 spies previously by Zeljko Bagic, his former national security aide “ that British intelligence had recruited a number of prominent journalists in Zagreb and was planting disinformation on the Gotovina case in the Zagreb media. ”Peratovic’s erratic behaviour has caused his handlers some concern. Several senior MI6 officials wanted him dropped immediately, but Bloom insisted he stay describing him as “an imbecile with a personal vendetta regarding Levar but useful nethertheless. ”Milan Levar was Peratovic’s friend and a war crimes witness allegedly murdered by organised criminals. Peratovic has convinced himself Gotovina is somehow responsible and is obsessed with connecting him to it. Peratovic’s defamation of Gotovina and constant unsuccessful attempts to link him to organised crime and spurious allegations of arms dealing links is renowned. He was one of the first Croatian journalists to report of alleged links between Tony Cascarino and the Real IRA and Gotovina being in Belfast. Apparently his “reliable British sources” had informed him. Some time later, after the story had been picked up and bounded around Croatia to the point where the original article was forgotten, he published another article in Vjesnik denouncing the allegations in the other papers as “fabricated” – as if he hadn’t introduced it in the first place.

http://www.vjesnik.hr/pdf/2004/09/29/01A1.PDF

He was recently instructed to re-focus his misinformation on Cascarino and told to dig for dirt and discredit his military record. Peratovic later approached a number of former combatants offering money and other gifts in exchange for predetermined comments they’d put their names to, though was unsuccessful. He was also told to initiate correspondence with Tom Walker, diplomatic correspondent for the Sunday Times and provide him with misinformation regarding “The Striker” and his alleged terrorist links. His own web site details his spy activities which he denies:

But, the Intelligence Underground fears from Preissue of citizens and “Addition to the preissue of citizens from 06. 12. 2004″

Dears,

This lower text is a part of the interview of President Stjepan Mesic given to the «Feral Tribune» magazine, in number from 10th of December, 2004., and I am giving it now as an addition to the Preissue for The Council for civilian supervision of saftey services of Croatian Parliament from 6th of December, 2004.
* Why did you miss to react like this when six domestic journalists are shown in presentation of ex chief of POA, Franjo Turek, as foreign spies who work against Croatia?

- I would gladly react even then if I had any evidence about eavesdropping and controlling of the journalists. The presentation was dealing with foreign agents in intellingence who work in Croatia, what was not of my interest. The journalists were mentioned only in context that they were seen with that foreign agents in intelligence, but there were, believe me, really no evidence of eavesdropping and controlling of the journalists. If there were something like that, I would react, just as I reacted in the case of Helena Puljiz. That presentation must be somewhere, so it should be seen.


With this statement President Mesic, in my opinion, confirms that Franjo Turek, ex chief of POA, by using methods of secret supervision, connected Croatian journalists Ivan Zvonimir Cicak, Gordan Malic, Ivica Djikic, Boris Pavelic, Davor Butkovic and Zeljko Peratovic with «the foreign agents in intelligence who work in Croatia». If the representatives of POA, as President Mesic said, mentioned the journalists in context of seeing them with foreign agents, that «seeings» should have been proved. Ex President’s adviser for national security, Zeljko Bagic, in the interview that I have given in the Preissue, said about presentation, about which also President Mesic is talking in the above quoted fragment:
- The service, whose job is that, deserves every praise for that, noticed, registrated and documented subversive activity of the agent of secret service. Besides, that agent used his informations, and used one Croatian citizen…


In my opinion, that evidences could have been collected only by secret supervision. I remind that colleague Gordan Malic, said that one Croatian minister told him that she saw a photograph with him and a worker of Haag’ s court on it. Also, Dragutin Franciskovic, for whom, ex President’ s advisor Zeljko Bagic, said in front of Prof. Vlatko Cvrtila and Davor Gjenero, that he was photographed by POA when he was having a meeting with potential witness of Haag’ s court. So I ask once more from you, from new chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko, to ask to renew investigation of activities in POA, while Franjo Turek was its chief,especially using secret methods over six mentioned journalists. If you can’ t ask for an investigation, based on my Preissue, about using secret methods over all six journalists, please do it only in my case. By my informations, Mr Ranko Ostojic, chief of the police at that time, and President Mesic mentioned him earlier as a Croatian citizen who was mentioned in presentationand Mr Dragutin Franciskovic, who is earlier mentioned in medias , and by words of Zeljko Bagic, is a person from Croatian intelligence underground, who was spreading wrong informations about deserter general Ante Gotovina, are consented that the Council should research the mentioned presentation and that it should be presented in public.I support their search, especially emphasizing the quotation of President Mesic, which was published in «Feral» magazine:
-The presentation must be somewhere, so it should be seen.


I presume that the Council could, in its demands towards POA, and other state authorized institutions, face with answer: the measures of secret supervision were not using on the journalists, Ostojic and Franciskovic, but only on foreign agent. I think, in that case, the Council could react as same as with the colleague Helena Puljiz and President Stjepan Mesic, where was also talks that POA was dealing with case of deserted businessman Hrvoje Petrac, and deserted general Ante Gotovina, and not the journalist Puljiz and President. Also, I recomend to the Council to ask from new chief of POA, Tomislav Karamarko, answer on question, is my name mentioned in some earlier supervision of POA, which is not ended. It is possible that POA, in that case, did not ask approval from the Supreme court to control me, and I’ m sure that it is lasting till today, and that can be testified by my wife and her mother. Also, I ask from you to influence on Mr Karamarko, to let the file to be seen, which SZUP was writting about me in 90s, because I was not allowed to see it, while chief of POA was Franjo Turek. If POA refuse that without explanation, as you know, it is possible, because POA still takes me for threat for national security. I don’ t find myself a threat for national security, and I would like to think that way most of the citizens, who can be mislead by quoted titles and statements, which show me now as a collaborator of foreign secret services. The Council is in Croatia the most important institution from which I can ask to take off the accusation from my name that I’ m a collaborator of foreign spies. But, if there are evidences for that accusation, I also please, that Council or any other state institution, announce that conclusion, and that documents to give to the state court.I please for urgency in this matter, because of serious concern for safety of my family and my own. In fact, one month ago I found out from my colleagues that one person, connected with Ante Zoni Maksan (who is accused for being helper of Anto Gotovina) and the one who is mentioned in context of potential witness in investigation of kidnaping of general Vladimir Zagorac’s son, from a person who is accused for war crime, ordered to beat me.The same commander, called my colleagues, a few days ago, asking for my address and other conntacts, talking about threats on my account. The datas about identity of the witness of the threats I will give to the Council when work on this Preissue starts. In hope of starting work on this Preissue as soon as possible, and this addition,

Best regards,
Zeljko Peratovic
