Glavas told the press the police were not interested in the fate of "54 missing Croatian soldiers and civilians or in other victims of the Serb aggression, of which 1,000 were civilians killed in Osijek. That disappointed me, as did the fact that the police called about 1,000 veterans for interviews about events in 1991 and 1992 for the purpose of accusing and demonising me".
He also said he was proud of all he had done with veterans in defending eastern Croatia.
Glavas accused county police chief Vladimir Faber of offering the veterans called in for the interviews numerous benefits in exchange for false information.
The head of the county police department's Operations and Communications Centre, Branko Horvatin, said Glavas had been called for the interview as a citizen and that it had been a usual interview which Glavas could have not turned up for owing to his parliamentary immunity.
After Glavas left, about 200 members of war veterans' associations rallied in front of the police building. Earlier today, they held a protest rally in Osijek's central square.
