All investigations being carried out by the State Prosecutor's Office as an independent judicial body are in the jurisdiction of this body alone and the government has never, and will never, interfere in the work of any part of the judiciary, the statement said.
The government labelled all statements about its involvement in the work of the judiciary as tendentious and untrue, rejecting them entirely.
The statement did not name which individuals accused the government of interfering in the work of the State Prosecutor's Office.
The media recently released the testimony of a secret witness to murders of Serb civilians in the eastern town of Osijek in 1991. The witness claimed the verbal orders for those crimes came from Branimir Glavas, an independent MP who was chief of the National Defence Office in Osijek in the early 1990s.
Glavas labelled such accusations as another attempt to compromise him by top state officials and that the State Prosecutor's Office was part of this.
Glavas's accusations were first rejected by Parliament Speaker Vladimir Seks, who at the time of the alleged crimes headed the crisis headquarters for the Slavonia and Baranja region in eastern Croatia. Seks said the State Prosecutor's Office was investigating the alleged killings independently.
"Neither the Prime Minister nor the President of the Republic nor the Croatian Parliament have anything to do with the initiation of this procedure, which admittedly coincided with a political conflict imposed by Branimir Glavas. But there is no cause and effect to indicate that it is an attempt at settling political scores with him," Seks said yesterday.
