Margetic is charged together with the publisher of the weekly, Stjepan Seselj, for revealing in 2004 the identity and testimony of a protected witness of the prosecution in the trial of Tihomir Blaskic in 1998. The identity and the testimony were published in the Hrvatsko Slovo weekly in November 2004.
In the complaint, Margetic said that all means of legal protection had been exhausted in the process of disputing the ICTY indictment, even though the main hearing in the process before the ICTY was yet to be held. Margetic said the ICTY indictment violated his constitutional rights to "freedom of opinion, freedom of speech and public expression" and his journalistic right to freedom of reporting and access to information.
Margetic also said in his lengthy complaint that his right to "freedom of conscience" from Article 40 of the Croatian Constitution and the "right to freedom of cultural creativity" from Article 68 had also been violated.
