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.

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.
