Independent MP accuses del Ponte of failing to indict JNA leadership for aggression

ZAGREB, June 8 (Hina) - Slaven Letica, an independent member of the Croatian Parliament, on Thursday publicly apologised to the Chief State Prosecutor, Mladen Bajic, whom he previously accused of obstruction of possible criminal proceedings against former top officers of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) for their involvement in the aggression against Croatia.
ZAGREB, June 8 (Hina) - Slaven Letica, an independent member of the Croatian Parliament, on Thursday publicly apologised to the Chief State Prosecutor, Mladen Bajic, whom he previously accused of obstruction of possible criminal proceedings against former top officers of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) for their involvement in the aggression against Croatia.

Letica told the press that it was not Bajic but the ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla del Ponte who should be held accountable for the fact that Veljko Kadijevic, Blagoje Adzic and other highest ranking JNA officers had not yet been indicted for war crimes in Croatia.

Letica recalled that recently the deputy chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), David Tolbert, had told him that the Hague-based UN war crimes tribunal had not launched the proceedings against the top officers of the then JNA as it had not yet received the necessary documentation from Croatia.

In the meantime, Bajic acquainted Letica with evidence and material which have been sent to the ICTY and which indicate the liability of Kadijevic, Adzic and other former high-ranking JNA officers for the aggression against Croatia in early 1990s.

Apologising to Bajic, the MP told reporters in the Sabor today that the ICTY prosecution and Carla del Ponte personally should be held responsible for "the appalling tacit amnesty of the JNA leadership".

Letica believes that the attempts to remain silent about this are part of plans to support "the construction that the war was agreed between Milosevic and Tudjman", i.e. between the then Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and the first Croatian President Franjo Tudjman.
