Police to talk with portal editors over interview with ex-JNA commander

ZAGREB, March 26 (Hina) - The spokesman for the Croatian Interior Ministry, Zlatko Mehun, has said that the police are planning to talk with editors of Business.hr so as to clarify circumstances and check the credibility of former JNA commander Veljko Kadijevic' interview published on that portal on Monday.
ZAGREB, March 26 (Hina) - The spokesman for the Croatian Interior Ministry, Zlatko Mehun, has said that the police are planning to talk with editors of Business.hr so as to clarify circumstances and check the credibility of former JNA commander Veljko Kadijevic' interview published on that portal on Monday.

Croatia has recently issued an international warrant for the arrest of Kadijevic, accused of war crimes in Croatia in the 1990s.

Mehun said that the police would behave in this case as in similar situations when Croatian media published interviews with war crimes indictees or persons accused of other serious crimes who were not available to the Croatian judiciary at that time.

Mehun added that the Interior Ministry would abide by all regulations providing for such checks.

Business.hr earlier on Monday published the interview with the former commander of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), saying that it managed to contact the 82-year-old Kadijevic after one month of trying to locate him and that the conversation was conducted by telephone, with him staying in a European Union member-state.

Three indictments for war crimes have been issued against Kadijevic in Croatia.

The arrest warrant with his photo has been made public on Interpol's web site.

The warrant is binding for all 186 Interpol members. The issuing of a warrant for Kadijevic's arrest was requested in mid-March by the Vukovar County Court, where Kadijevic was indicted back in 1992 for war crimes committed in the area of the eastern Croatian town.

Also recently, the Belgrade media reported that Kadijevic had become a military adviser for the international coalition in Iraq.

In his interview with Business.hr, Kadijevic said that he did not fear criminal proceedings as he had immunity as an advisor to the military coalition for Iraq. He said he did not care for the arrest warrant issued by Croatia and that he slept peacefully.

He added that in the 1990s he had only tried to save a country which many, including the incumbent Croatian President Stjepan Mesic, had been destroying.
