"I don't know who sent those transcripts to The Hague. That should be established," Mesic said after a visit to the Military Ordinariate.
Asked to comment on statements by participants in the Brijuni meetings that he had made the documents available to the UN tribunal in cooperation with British intelligence agents upon taking up office in 2000, Mesic said that this was "a sheer fabrication which has nothing to do with common sense".
Asked whether he had declassified the documents as he had announced over the last few days, Mesic said he had given consent to make the documents available.
The former government made a decree by which it took over all documents which the Brijuni transcripts refer to, he said.
Mesic said the documents were sealed and held in the President's Office and it was established that the minutes from the Brijuni meeting of July 31, 1995 had been sent to the government's office for cooperation with the UN tribunal.
"We don't know what had happened before, who did what and who had access to those documents," Mesic said.
Mesic recently stated that a three-member commission that he appointed had found the transcripts and forwarded it to the Justice Ministry. Ministry officials confirmed receipt of two copies, but since they were classified, they asked that they be declassified on the same day, October 12.
No information on the case was available at the ministry today.
