Parl. body to reconsider investigating judge's request about Glavas tomorrow

ZAGREB, Oct 25 (Hina) - The Croatian parliamentary Credentials and Privileges Commission will convene on Thursday to consider a new request submitted by a Zagreb County Court investigating judge who asked for stripping independent MP Branimir Glavas of immunity so that he can be placed in custody on suspicion of war crimes.
ZAGREB, Oct 25 (Hina) - The Croatian parliamentary Credentials and Privileges Commission will convene on Thursday to consider a new request submitted by a Zagreb County Court investigating judge who asked for stripping independent MP Branimir Glavas of immunity so that he can be placed in custody on suspicion of war crimes.

The commission's chairman, Damir Sesvecan, said on Wednesday that he called commission members by phone to convene in Zagreb tomorrow to reconsider the motion.

On Monday, this parliamentary body did not grant the first request submitted by Judge Zdenko Posavec, explaining that he had made a procedural omission when he requested that Glavas be stripped of immunity.

Earlier today, the Zagreb County Court investigating judge again submitted the same request with additional explanations, saying that he believed that he had made no mistake during the initial procedure.

The investigative proceedings against Glavas are being conducted before the Zagreb County Court on suspicion that he committed war crimes against Serb civilians in the eastern city of Osijek in 1991. This case is also known as the Garage case or as the Glavas and Fehir case.

On Monday the parliamentary commission gave the green light to a request for launching an investigation against Glavas on suspicion that he was implicated in another war crimes case in Osijek, known as the Sellotape case.

Although the parliamentary body granted the request by Osijek County prosecutors for stripping Glavas of immunity and remanding him in custody, an investigating judge in Osijek later in the day decided that the Osijek court had no territorial jurisdiction over that case and ruled against Glavas's detention.

The local prosecutors have appealed against Judge Mario Kovac's decision and the procedure is under way before the Osijek court.
