Jarnjak continued to give his testimony to investigators of the
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in
Zagreb on Friday morning.#L#
Neither Jarnjak nor his attorney Bozidar Kovacevic gave statements to
the press, but it is assumed that the testimony will end early this
afternoon.
It is assumed that Jarnjak's testimony refers to the period between
1992 and 1996 when the incumbent head of the parliament's interior and
national security committee was the interior minister.
On March 7, Jarnjak told Vecernji List daily that he had received an
invitation for interview with the ICTY investigators in his capacity
as suspect and that attorneys Miroslav Separovic and Goran Mikulicic
would defend him. The two attorneys in the meantime took the case of
General Mladen Markac before the Hague tribunal.
On the first day of his testimony, Thursday, Jarnjak was accompanied
by attorney Bozidar Kovacic who previously defended Marijo Cerkez,
former commander of the Croatian Council of Defence's (HVO) brigade
from Vitez, whom the ICTY sentenced with the right of appeal for
crimes committed in Central Bosnia in 1993.
