Pukanic: Peratovic is ridiculous

British deception proven

…It all started on 10 June 2003 when Nacional ran an interview with the runaway General Gotovina. That I had met with him was a fact known not even by his attorneys Luka Misetic and Marin Ivanovic, as I worked out the details in the greatest discretion with attorney Marijan Pedisic, a friend of mine, who passed away just over a year ago. We met with Gotovina in a hotel in Venice…

Both Mesic and chief Hague prosecutor Carla Del Ponte were informed of the messages and the interview before it was published. Del Ponte sent her top crew, headed by Patrick Lopez Tereza, to Pantovcak to see what could be done about it. Mesic charged his chief of staff Zeljko Bagic to speak with them, who he informed of what Gotovina had said…

And when I was already convinced that the crisis would end favourably for all and that Gotovina would finally come home, the blows came, above all from the press, but from all quarters. They led to a break off of the talks, and a loss of mutual trust, with serious consequences for Croatia, which as a result of the sabotage of those talks did not accede to the Union three years ago.

The responsible parties are known today. Some media houses, Jutarnji list and Globus foremost among them, followed by Feral and HTV, criticised both the initiative and me. President Mesic, who publicly supported the idea, was also attacked, even so far as to demand he relinquish his post. Journalists like Gordan Malic, Ivan Zvonimir Cicak, Ivica Djikic, Denis Kuljis, from HTV led by Zoran Sprajc, right up to the most ridiculous of them, Zeljko Peratovic, who claimed from his laughable Internet portal that I had met with Gotovina at Mesic’s Pantovcak residence. I was subject to daily attacks. I could not believe the just how much malice there was among journalists. The chief theory put forward by the press at the time was Gotovina was in Croatia, and there were constant alleged sightings of Gotovina in Croatia appearing the newspapers…

Давление на журналистов по-хорватски

Ирина Бороган /Agentura.Ru/

Россия далеко не единственная страна, где власти обвиняют журналистов, чьи расследования слишком далеко зашли, в разглашении государственной тайны. В Хорватии, где гражданская война пока не стала далеким прошлым, прибегают к тем же методам, особенно когда дело касается журналистов, расследующих военные преступления.

Журналиста Желько Ператовича местные спецслужбы преследуют уже несколько лет. Два года назад его обвинили в работе на английскую разведку, а осенью 2007 года, накануне выборов, журналиста решили полностью обезоружить: самого арестовали на пару суток, а из его дома полиция вынесла компьютеры и все рабочие материалы. Ператович писал о том, что спецслужбы и руководители страны причастны к массовым убийствам сербов или покрывают военных преступников, разыскиваемых Международным трибуналом по бывшей Югославии.

Арест и обыск – за ведение блога

Полиция нагрянула домой к Ператовичу рано утром 17 октября. Приказав его жене и маленькой дочке не шевелиться, они обыскали квартиру и забрали 4 компьютера, мобильный телефон, записную книжку, сотни документов, кассет и CD. Это все, что скопилось в результате моей 15-летней деятельности и теперь я вообще не могу работать, — сообщил Агентуре хорватский журналист. — Меня арестовали, обвинив в том, что я раскрыл гостайну в своем интернет-блоге 45 lines, допросили, продержали двое суток и отпустили. Теперь моим делом будет заниматься Генеральная прокуратура. Блог Желько стал вести не от хорошей жизни, а после того, как лишился работы в правительственном издании Вестник из-за скандала вокруг поисков экс-генерала хорватской армии Анте Готовины, обвиняемого в военных преступлениях. Желько писал о том, что власти Хорватии вместо того, чтобы выдать Готовину Международному трибуналу поддерживают с ним отношения.

На этот раз, считает Ператович, истинной причиной его ареста стало расследование деятельности президента Хорватии Степана Месича, руководителя Службы национальной безопасности Томислава Карамарка и генерального прокурора Младена Баича, а также гибели Милaна Левара. Левара, выступавшего свидетелем на Международном трибунале по бывшей Югославии, взорвали в автомобиле в 2000 году в хорватской деревне Госпич. Так получилось, что Ператович был последним человеком, который слышал его голос. Левар обладал информацией о том, кто виноват в исчезновении десятков мирных сербов в 1991 году из Госпича, занятого хорватскими военными подразделениями.

Но ни расправа с Леваром, ни обвинения в предательстве со стороны соотечественников, считающих, что военные преступления могли совершать только сербы, но никак не хорваты, не остановили журналиста, и он продолжал выяснять подробности трагедии. Именно за это расследование в 2003 году Ператович получил от организации Репортеры без границ премию, а от властей уголовное дело. Его блог начинается со строчки: Хорватский журналист Желько Ператович расследует военные преступления и оргпреступность в Юго-восточной Европе. Там Ператович поместил информацию, в которой сообщалось о видеозаписи с показаниями свидетелей трагедии в Госпиче. Эти люди обвиняли в причастности к исчезновениям сербов Дарко Милиновича, одного из лидеров правящей партии Хорватское демократическое содружество, а также бывшего министра обороны Гойко Шушка (скончался). Видимо, такая постановка вопроса к тому же накануне парламентских выборов (которые прошли в декабре) взбесила власти Хорватии и они решили пойти в атаку.

Я думаю, они арестовали меня в отместку за статьи и пытались таким образом обнаружить мои источники в госструктурах и СМИ. Все это из-за того, что я вскрывал связи политиков первого звена с военными преступлениями 90-х годов, – считает сам Желько Ператович. Правда, на наш взгляд Ператовичу еще повезло. Ведь Хорватия стремится в Евросоюз, вопрос свободы слова для нее очень важен, а по поводу ареста Ператовича ОБСЕ и общественные организации подняли такой шум, что он остудил горячее желание хорватских политков приструнить расследователя. Известно, что в России происходит с журналистами, которые пытаются вскрывать деятельность преступников в погонах: корреспондента МК Дмитрия Холодова и обозревателя Новой газеты Анну Политковскую просто убили.

За публикацию статей – обвинение в шпионаже

Если сейчас хорватские власти пытаются нейтрализовать Ператовича, ограничив его возможности работать, то в прошлый раз они пытались скомпрометировать журналиста, объявив его агентом английской разведки МI6.

Несколько лет назад Ператовича и шестерых его коллег обвинили в том, что они по заданию британской разведки распространяли ложную информацию о местонахождении военного преступника генерала Анте Готовины, который значится 3-им номером в списке Международного трибунала по бывшей Югославии. Бывшего генерала обвиняют в преступлениях против сербского мирного населения во время военных действий в начале 90-х. В частности в том, что по его приказу было убито 150 и изгнано около 500 тысяч сербов.

Тем не менее для многих людей, включая действующих политиков, он является национальным героем. Когда в декабре 2005 года Готовину в конце-концов арестовали на Канарских островах, в Хорватии прошли массовые демонстрации в его поддержку. Понятно, почему в таких обстоятельствах поймать Готовину на территории Хорватии не удавалось на протяжении многих лет, но поскольку его арест был важным условием для вступления Хорватии в Евросоюз, охота за генералом превратилась в главное событие политической жизни страны.

Неуловимый генерал годами не сходил с первых полос газет – то спецслужбы выйдут на его след, то предотвратят похищение его детей. В 2003 году, после того, как интервью Готовины опубликовал местный еженедельник Национал, президент страны Степан Месич публично предложил генералу сделку: Готовина приходит к нему в кабинет и дает показания для трибунала, а президент гарантирует ему личную безопасность. Сделка так и не состоялась, а крайними оказались журналисты, которые расследовали обстоятельства этого интервью и пришли к выводу, что Готовина встречался с главным редактором еженедельника в столице страны Загребе, а к организации этой встречи причастны спецслужбы. Эти публикации сильно навредили имиджу хорватских властей, регулярно уверявших Евросоюз, что делают все возможное для ареста Готовины.

Журналистам вскоре отомстили. 1 марта 2004 года Франьо Турек, тогдашний директор службы контрразведки, представил хорватскому правительству данные о семерых журналистах местных СМИ, которые в своих публикациях распространяли дезинформацию о местонахождении генерала Готовины по заданию английской разведки. (Британская разведка была выбрана потому, что Соединенное королевство больше других стран критиковало хорватские власти за нежелание привлекать к ответственности своих военных преступников).

Уголовное дело власти возбуждать не стали, поскольку никаких доказательств шпионской деятельности журналистов у шефа контрразведки не было. Но в проправительственной прессе появились заметки о том, МI6, действуя через завербованных журналистов, организовало целую сеть осведомителей в стране, и прослушивала граждан Хорватии, среди которых были и политики. А в качестве прикрытия заговорщики якобы использовали тему поимки Готовины.

Кроме того, были названы имена 5 действующих сотрудников МI6, завербовавших хорватских журналистов. Можно представить, в каком положении оказались журналисты, на которых повесили шпионаж в пользу Англии. Неважно, что обвинения не имели никакого отношения к деятельности журанлистов, в результате скандала даже The Washington Times стала писать о работе Ператовича и его коллег на МI6 как о доказанном факте.

Тем не менее, Ператовичу удалось тогда опровергнуть обвинения, во многом благодаря международным правозащитным организациям, и даже возбудить парламентское расследование по поводу давления на прессу.

В конце концов, твердость хорватских журналистов в том, что военные преступления, даже если они совершены своими же соотечественниками, должны быть расследованы, увенчалась успехом военный преступник Анте Готовина находится под судом.

Можно ли быть объективным

Несмотря на то, что здесь речь идет об очевидных преступлениях военных против мирного населения, таких журналистов как Желько их противники всегда обвиняют в пристрастности и работе на одну партию. Многим трудно поверить, что журналист просто собирает все факты, надеясь восстановить картину происшедшего и привлечь к ответственности тех, кто на самом деле виновен, а не руководствуется желанием повесить всех собак на кого попало.

Между тем, Желько Ператович публиковал на своем блоге информацию о том, что некоторые обвинения против Готовины надуманы. В сентябре он поместил информацию Марина Томулича, бывшего снабженца армии Хорватии, который утверждал, что некоторые обвинения против Готовины не имеют никаких оснований.

Так Готовине, кроме военных преступлений, вменяют участие в ограблении парижского ювелирного магазина в начале 80-х. (В молодости он служил в Иностранном легионе и некоторое время жил во Фрнации). Томулич сообщил, что один из грабителей отрицает участие Готовины в налете, и признает,что в начале 90-х дал показания против него под давлением, чтобы ему скостили срок.

Кроме того, Ператович обнародовал сведения о том, что французский судья, который в 1992 году занимался делом об ограблении магазина, впоследствии готовил материалы для Карлы дель Понте, прокурора Международного трибунала по бывшей Югославии. На блоге журналиста также была опубликована информация о покушении на Томулича, в котором замешаны, по мнению информатора, французские спецслужбы, не заинтересованные в разглашении этой информации. Все эти данные, отнюдь не свидетельствующие в пользу международного правосудия и обнажающие сложную политическую подоплеку суда над военными преступниками, Ператович не боялся размещать в своем блоге.

P.S. Компьютеры и рабочие материалы Ператовичу на момент публикации так и не вернули

В Хорватии по подозрению в раскрытии гостайны арестован журналист

18/ 10/ 2007 БЕЛГРАД, 18 окт – РИА Новости, Николай Пасхин.

Хорватский журналист Желько Ператович арестован в Загребе по подозрению в раскрытии государственной тайны. Об этом сообщило в четверг белградское агентство Фонет со ссылкой на загребские СМИ.

По информации СМИ, Ператович был задержан в среду около полудня и препровожден в штаб-квартиру криминальной полиции для неформальной беседы. Утром в четверг, по свидетельству его супруги, в квартиру журналиста явились полицейские с ордером на обыск.

В результате обыска полицейские изъяли три лэп-топа и домашний компьютер, а также документы, относящиеся, по их мнению, к делу. Как заявила пресс-секретарь полиции Загреба Александра Люба, в расследовании этого дела полиция активно сотрудничает с прокуратурой.

Желько Ператович, бывший журналист популярной газеты “Глобус” и некоторых других периодических изданий, в последнее время публиковал статьи, фотоснимки и видеоинформацию на своем блоге “45 lines“. Публикации журналиста чаще всего касались проблем организованной преступности, военных преступлений и деятельности спецслужб.

Zatmco ostatn se spokojili s omluvou parlamentu, Peratović dal stt k soudu.

Odpověd mu bylo v řjnu tohoto roku zadren v policejn cele na čtyřiadvacet hodin, konfiskace počtačů, mobilnch telefonů a archivu.

“Tajn sluby tu neproly dekomunizac, v tom je problm. Chci svůj přpad dostat a před Evropsk soud pro lidsk prva do trasburku, protoe v Chorvatsku nen mon spravedlnosti doshnout,” řk Peratović.

Nicolas Sarkozy and Hrvoje Petrac

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Columns, statementsSarkozy, Mesic, Petrac, Pukanic and texts of Ivo Pukanic are extremely suitable for analyses to researchers of international corruption and organized crime. In todays column Sarkozy and third mobile operator , Pukanic involved new French President in potential corruption scandal with the Croatian Government. The owner of Nacional claims that Sanader’s government should make possible entering of French telecommunication giant Alcatel on Croatian market through giving concession to Monaco’s Match Tlcom, and in return French would guarantee to Croatia starting of negotiations with EU without condition of arresting Ante Gotovina.

As usual, whenever Pukanic writes about Gotovina and French always in background must be President Stjepan Mesic and enterpreneur sentenced for kidnapping of juvenile, Hrvoje Petrac. Pukanic drags in Sarkozy in corruption story to give Croatian public false explanation of probable stand of new French President with regard to his colleague Mesic and his businesses with Chirac and French Ministry of Defence in which mediated Hrvoje Petrac.

As far as I know Nicolas Sarkozy as a Home Secretary was not delighted with a fact that French Ministry of Defence gave villa to Hrvoje Petrac in the south of France as a gift for merits in jobs with military-industrial complex Giat. Nacional in 2003 informed about Petrac’s business with French and Djuro Djakovic:

Besides firm Djuro Djakovic-Special vehicles, as a carrier of development and production, on production of components for tank Degman are also engaged foreign partners as Israeli Elbit, French giants of arms industry, firms Thales and Giat, and from Croatia at the moment are engaged even 33 firms.

Eduard Sostaric, 8 January 2003


Chirac’s men in Ministry of Defense were strongly opposing on every complaint about engagement of Hrvoje Petrac with explanation that he is friend of Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, who makes possible to France profitable jobs with Croatia.

So also the story which was published by Le Monde that Ante Gotovina after 2003 lived in the south of France (most probably in Petrac’s villa) more and more seems to be true.

Croatian President Mesic during his last visit to colleague Chirac had guaranteed one more big job to French Ministry of Defense and military-industrial complex.

At the end of last month France has offered to Croatian shipbuilding extremely favourable joint project of building of militry vessels. To Croatia is offered participation in building French frigate FREMM on 16 bow section of which every is 70 meters long. The offer is valid if Croatia decides to acquire four French corvettes type Gowind 200, of which only one would be built in French shipyard and the last three in one of Croatian shipyards, most probably in Kraljevica. It is the matter of business that has not been offered to Croatia since its moment of independence and it can not be compared with no alike, at least when it is the matter of defence project of Republic of Croatia with some other European country.

Eduard Sostaric, 6 November 2006


In order the job to be implemented, Chirac and French Ministry of Defense decided to help Mesic who in front of international community compromised himself by helping to Gotovina, so the job of supervision of Gotovina’s hiding they gave to intelligence general Phillipe Rondot.

All the same, Ante Gotovina was coming to Croatia, and Sanader’s government pressed by Carla Del Ponte managed to persuade the fugitive to go to Tenerife and then deliver him to Spanish police and Haag.

By unsupported information of French intelligence services at Gotovina was found one part of marked euros from kidnapping of son of Vladimir Zagorac.

President Mesic, Hrvoje Petrac and their French partners from Ministry of Defence continued with pressure on Sanader’s government to bless the contract about joint business with military vessels, exactly when a judge Ivan Turudic supposed to reach the verdict for kidnapping of Zagorac’s son.

Turudic condemned Petrac and sentenced him on six years in prison, so the French Ministry of Defence, that by the way promissed to Hrvoje Petrac an enormous fee, had to give up of business with Croatia on building corvettes and frigates.

With all that, as far as I know, Nicolas Sarkozy didn’t have anything. But, as perspectives for his winning on president elections were growing, the fears in Croatia were spreading how would he react on President Mesic and Hrvoje Petrac and their deals with French Ministry of Defence.

The lobbies in SOA inform me about great concern for alleged friendship of Sarkozy and Marin Tomulic, by whose accepted criminal notification in Paris is in progress investigation about involvment of Stjepan Mesic and Hrvoje Petrac in attempted Tomulic’s murder for which is reported Marko Nikolic.

Although we recently could hear statements of people in Sarkozy’s party that about entering of Croatia in EU would not be decided at French referendum, that is France would not put barriers to us on our way to Europe, but they are opposing that Turkey becomes a member, Ivo Pukanic, to hide revealing of possible dirt of Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, writes that France under Sarkozy could make problems to us because it blockades European constitution.

P.S. On the loom is another international disgrace with trade/smuggling of weapons with which is connected President Stjepan Mesic. On the last hearing regarding to Croatian request for extradition, suspect Vladimir Zagorec asked from Austrian judge exemption of public. Not without strong reason, the sources close to Austrian judicature are persuading me. Allegedly he is preparing to ask for political asylum in Austria on the basis of cmplaint that President Stjepan Mesic is persecuting him because, among other things, he refused to participate in smuggling of rockets S-300 to Iraq, and because of what under Mesic’s sponsorship was allegedly in Zagreb, at the beginning of mentioned year, Saddam’s chief of intelligence service. According to the same sources, in the business with Iraq and S-300 suppose to participate also Mesic’s brother-in-law, Zarko Pavlina.

Hırvatistan Ykmllğn Yerine Getirdi: Savaş Sulusu Zanlısı Hırvat Generali Yakalandı

Mirzet MUJEZİNOVİ


Uluslararası savaş suluları mahkemesi (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY)nin başsavcısı Karla del Ponte, Sırbistan ziyareti sırasında yaptığı olağanst basın toplantısında, kaak Hırvat general Ante Gotovinanın İspanyanın Kanarya Adalarında yakalandığını duyurdu. Karla del Ponte, General Gotovinanın yakalanmasının, ICTY ve Hırvatistan yetkililerinin işbirliğinin sonucu olduğunu aıkladı. General Gotovinanin yakalanması Hırvatistana rahat bir nefes aldırdı. Son yıldır kaak olan general, Hırvatistanın dış ilişkilerinde en olumsuz etken olarak kabul ediliyordu.


Hırvatistan Başbakanı İvo Sanader, yakalanma haberinden sonra yaptığı aıklamada, Hırvatistanın, kredibilitesini yeniden kazandığını ve uluslararası ykmllklerini yerine getirildiğini vurguladı. Muhalefet partisi olan Sosyal Demokrat Partinin başkanı İvica Raan da generalin yakalanmasını Hırvatistan iin byk bir adım olarak kabul ettiğini aıkladı. Muhafazakar Partisi HSP (Hırvatistan Haklar Partisi)nin başkanı Ante Capi generalin yakalanmasını yorumlarken; Hırvatistan iin zc bir gn olduğunu, ancak generalin susuz olduğunun mahkemede ispatlanması gerektiğini syledi. Hırvatistan halkı ise, Split kentinde yapılan ve olaysız biten gsteriden başka, byk bir tepki gstermedi.


Kısaca hatırlatmak gerekirse, kaak general yznden Hırvatistanın Mart ayında başlatılması gereken AB yelik mzakereleri ertelenmişti. ay sonra bir kez daha toplanan AB yeleri bir kez daha erteleme kararı almışlardı. Bu iki ertelenmenin en nemli sebebi ise, Karla del Pontenin hazırladığı ve Hırvatistanın Uluslararası savaş suluları mahkemesi ile işbirliğinin yetersiz olduğunu vurgulayan raporlardır. 30 Eyllde de Karla del Ponte Hırvatistanın işbirliğinden memnun olmadığını ileri sryordu. Ekimde ise, AB liderleri Hırvatistan ile mzakerelerin başlatılıp başlatılmayacağına karar verecekti. Bu tarihe bir gn kala Karla del Pontenin sunduğu raporda Hırvatistanın tam bir işbirliği iinde olduğu vurgulandı ve Hırvatistanın AB yelik mzakerelerine yeşil ışık yakıldı. Raporun sonucu ise, başsavcının maruz kaldığı siyasi baskının bir sonucu olarak grld. Ancak Belgratta yaptığı aıklamada Karla del Ponte, kaak generalin izini Eyll ayından beri takip ettikleri ve sonunda yakalamayı başardıklarını vurguladı. Yani, Hırvatistan Hkmeti, Ekimin başında başsavcıya kaak generalinin yerini tespit etmek iin gerekli bilgilerin gerekten verildiğini ve buna dayanarak başsavcı da Hırvatistanın işbirliğini tam bir işbirlik olarak nitelendirdi. Şimdi de başsavcının her zaman ne yaptığını bildiğini ve siyasi bir karar vermediğini sylemek mmkndr.

Ekim ayında yelik mzakerelerinin nc kez ertelenme olasılığı ile karşı karşıya kalan Hırvatistan Hkmeti, artık ICTY ile işbirliği ykmllğn yerine getirmeye karar vermiş gibi grlmektedir. Hırvatistandaki istihbarat kurumlarını araştıran Hırvat gazeteci Zeljko Peratovie gre,Hırvatistan İstihbarat Ajansı (POA) ve cumhuriyet başsavcısı Mladen Bayi Eyll ayında Gotovinaya Hırvatistandan ayrılması gerektiğini sylediler. Hırvatistan yetkilileri, Gotovinanın nerede olduğunu baştan beri bildikleri halde onun Hırvatistanda yakalanmasının ok riskli olduğunu dşnyorlardı. Bu sebeple onu blgeden uzaklaştırıp yurtdışında yakaladılar. Peratovie gre aynı senaryo Sırbistan yetkilileri Mladiin yakalanmasında da uygulayacaktır.


Hırvat generalinin yakalanma haberinin Belgrattan duyulmasının ayrı bir nemi vardır. Uluslararası savaş suluları mahkemesi tarafından ve savaş suu sebebiyle aranan kişilerden sadece altısı yakalanamamıştır. Daha da nemlisi kalan altı kişinin hepsi Sırptır. Yani, bundan sonra Karla del Pontenin baskısı sadece Sırbistana ynelik olacaktır. Geen haftaki ziyaretten sonra yaptığı konuşmasında Karla del Ponte, Sırbistanın da artık szlerden icraya gemesi iin zaman geldiğini belirtti. 15 Aralıkta BM Gvenlik Konseyine, Sırbistanın Uluslararası savaş suluları mahkemesi ile olan işbirliğini değerlendiren bir rapor sunması bekleniyor. Sırbistan yetkilileri dahil herkes bu raporda Sırbistanın işbirliğinin yetersiz olarak değerlendirileceğini beklemektedir. Bu da Sırbistanın Ekim ayında AB ile başladığı İstikrar ve Katılım Anlaşması (SAA)nın askıya alınabileceği anlamına gelmektedir.


Belgrattaki Sivil Savunma Fakltesinde profesr olan ve askeri analizler yapan Zoran Dragişie gre, Mladiin yakalanması iin Sırbistana daha fazla baskı yapılacağından şphe duymuyorum. Baskı arttırılacak, nk Hırvatistan yetkilileri, kaakların her yerde yakalanabileceğini gsterdiler. Dragişi, savaş suluların yakalanması ve Kosova nihai stats mzakerelerinin birbirlerini ok yakından ilgilendiklerini de savunmaktadır. Ona gre, ICTY ile işbirliği sorunu, Karla del Pontenin BM Gvenlik Konseyine sunacağı raporda yer alması durumunda Sırbistanı zor durumda bırakabilir. Bu sebeple, Mladiin yakalanması durumunda Sırbistanın Kosova mzakerelerdeki pozisyonunun glendirilmesine yarayabilir.
Hırvatistan rneğinden aldığımız derslerden dolayı, 15 Aralıkta Karla del Ponte Sırbistanın işbirliğini yetersiz olarak değerlendirirse, demek ki Sırbistan gerekten yakın bir zamanda Ratko Mladii (veya diğerlerden birisini) yakalamayacaktır. Ancak bunu ne zaman yapacağı başsavcının rapordan sonra uluslararası toplumun ve zellikle ABnin nasıl bir tavrı sergileyeceğine bağlıdır. Hırvatistana yapılan baskılar tekrarlanırsa, belki Sırbistan Hkmeti de artık savaş sulusu zanlılarının yakalanmasından başka bir seeneği olmadığını anlar. Bunun da bir gn gerekleşmesi gerekiyordu. İspanyol El Pais gazetesine gre, bu szler yakalandığında Hırvat generalin sylediği szlerdir. Uluslararası toplumun Sırbistana yapacağı baskı, bu tr cmleleri yakın bir zamanda tekrar duymamızı sağlayabilir.

Since I , in August last year , got fired in Vjesnik, till now in Croatian media I didn’t manage to get a job. However, two months ago I got a demand for a private project: biography book about Radovan Smokvina, Croat who lives in Switzerland and whistleblower is in area of revealing truth about destiny of money which Croatian emigrants at the beginning of 90-es were putting on account in Villach (Austria) for defense of Croatia. Mr. Smokvina made criminal charges in Austria against at that time chief of Tudjman’s office, who is today only living subscriber of that account. The bank in Villach took off bank secret from that account and Mr. Smokvina got all printouts of the account. In Croatia it is not yet known what was the destiniy of that money several hundreds of millions in dollars. Parallel to my work on that book, in Zagreb on trial to Hrvoje Petrac, suspect in kidnapping son of his ex friend, Vladimir Zagorec, was opened the question of those accounts and illegal trade of weapons. That question opened Petrac, who himself participated in illegal trade of weapons. He accused his former political partner, Vladimir Zagorec, for peculating huge amounts of money, reserved for buying of weapons, adding that he took 35 millions of euros from account of Austrian bank Bawag. The problem is that Mr. Petrac, who opened the this question, is on trial for kidnapping a child and this story has nothing to do with it. Besides, European union suspected Petrac as a main financial support for General Gotovina’s escape:

In August, Hrvoje Petrac, convicted in absentia for kidnap and implicated in the Gotovina support network, was extradited to Croatia. His retrial started in September. Croatia needs to take advantage of its work under the action plan to better tackle organised crime.

Croatia 2006 Progress Report, COM (2006) 649 final, 08/11/2006

The biggest problem is that President Stjepan Mesic come over to Petrac’s side, interfering in his trial process, demanding that jurisdiction investigate and punish Vladimir Zagorec as a war profiteer. Although to President Mesic all documentation from bank in Villach was delivered, about which Mr. Smokvina has documents, President wasn’t untill Petrac’s accusations against Zagorec, dealing with that case and wasn’t asking for an investigation about imigrants’ money. Meanwhile, a Croat from France, Marin Tomulic (during the war he also was dealing with import of weapons), in French court in Nanntere reported an attempt of assassination on himself. As an assassin he reported Marko Nikolic, a person who is already convicted in Croatia for a mob murder. As an orderer of murder of Marin Tomulic was reported Hrvoje Petrac, and as his political protector was reported Croatian President Stjepan Mesic. About all that I reported on my blog President of Croatia, Stjepan Mesic, in France, criminaly reported for attempt of assassination on Marin Tomulic, and the news were transfered by all media in Croatia: Novi list confirmed the story in 45 lines about French report against Mesic. President Mesic gave a statement about that which was in all media, and said that Marin Tomulic is a world criminal, and when his lawyer Ivan Jurasinovic come to Croatia, should visit madhouse . The lawyer of Marin Tomulic will because of that sue Croatian President in France, but also in Croatia, not only for insult but also for his esse because in Croatia, while it was a part of Yugoslavia, he was sending political opponents in madhouse (similar as in Russia). Since I am dealing with this case, the more intensive control of Croatian secret services is over my comunications.

I remind that I sued Croatia because I was suspected as a state enemy and cooperator of foreign secret services on disinforming of Carla Del Ponte about hiding of Gotovina. I also remind that I in my writings I was claiming that in Gotovina’s hiding, except Hrvoje Petrac, was involved also Croatian President Mesic. Because that I was a target of Croatian secret service.

Journalist suing Croatia for violation of human rights


The trial of a Croatian journalist who is suing the State of Croatia for alleged infringement of his human rights, acts of slander, damage to his reputation and intimidation, commenced on 12 April in Zagreb. eljko Peratović, a former journalist for the state-owned daily Vjesnik, claims he was subject to years of illegal surveillance by Croatias counter-intelligence agency POA, violating his right to privacy, freedom of speech and the right to work. He alleges he was then unfairly slandered by the former head of POA, Franjo Turek, in 2003. Mr. Peratović is claiming 800,000 HKN (100, 800) in compensation.
In a controversial presentation shown to the President in 2003, the head of the POA, Turek, accused Mr. Peratović and five other journalists of endangering Croatias national security by collaborating with foreign secret services and diplomats. These accusations were later published in the national daily Večernji list and the political weekly Nacional. Mr. Peratović claims that his dismissal from Vjesnik in 2005 was mainly a result of the allegations against him. He has subsequently been unable to find employment.
Following the March 2005 findings of the Parliamentary Council for the Control of Secret Services, which determined that there were grounds to suspect that the POA had violated the constitutionally guaranteed human rights of the six journalists in question, Mr. Peratović decided to file a law suit. His initial offer of an out-of-court settlement was refused by the State. Lawyers representing the State argue that Croatia is not liable for damages suffered by the plaintiff.

Hrvoja Petrača se u zadnje vrijeme počelo povezivati i sa samoubojstvom poduzetnika Davora Cepetića. Trenutno traje istraga protiv Sebastijana Samija Chake (Čake) osumnjičenog da je reketareći Cepetića prozročio njegovo samoubojstvo.

Zanimljivo je da su i rtva i navodni počinitelj u kumskim odnosima s Petračem.

Gordan Malić je u prolom Globusu produbio priču o povezanosti Hrvoja Petrača s reketarenjem kuma Davora Cepetića.

Priloeni podcast prvotno je emitiran na sad već ugaenom BBC Hrvatska 01. rujna 2005. dan nakon to je saopćeno da je Hrvoje Petrač uhićen u Grčkoj. Vijesti su vodili Barbara Peranić i Toni Volarić.Petrač i prijatelji

Naglasio sam u komentaru da će istraiteljima biti teko dokazati da je Hrvoje Petrač financirao Gotovinin bijeg obzirom da je neposredno pred tajkunovo uhićenje kod Opatije na motociklu smrtno stradao bivi direktor Petračevog kasina, Davorin Firis kojeg je USKOK sumnjičio da je bio spona u finaciranju generalovog bijega.

Latinica about Tudjman

Friday, December 16th, 2005

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.

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

Connections Petrac – Gotovina

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 Bozo 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.
