ZAGREB, March 23 (Hina) - Prime Minister Ivo Sanader said during parliamentary question time on Tuesday he had called on the leaders of parliamentary parties about two weeks ago to propose experts who could help the government in
providing arguments to defend the dignity of the 1990s Homeland War.

Sanader was replying to a question from Slaven Letica of the Croatian
Party of Rights, who wanted to know if the government would set up a
team of experts for 1995's Operation Storm so as to "put an end to the
morbid practice of accusing dead people", namely former President
Franjo Tudjman and Defence Minister Gojko Susak, who are named in the
Hague tribunal's latest indictments against generals Mladen Markac and
Ivan Cermak.
Nenad Stazic of the Social Democratic Party asked Sanader what he
thought about people who changed their views to suit their needs,
referring to Sanader's earlier statements that he could not accept
indictments which said Storm had been an ethnic cleansing operation.
Sanader said his opinion of the Homeland War and generals was always
the same while what Stazic thought was still not known to the Croatian
public.
He added that this was why his Croatian Democratic Union had won and
the SDP lost last November's elections.
