SLAVONSKI BROD, Jan 24 (Hina) - Interior Minister Sime Lucin has
said that it is possible to view the killing of Marko Slisko in
Zagreb on Thursday as the confirmation of the existence of
organised crime in Croatia, since, unfortunately, there is no
country free of organised crime. #L#
"According to available data, this was a very well planned murder
and last night the police in the whole of Croatia were put on alert.
Some possible motives have been established, several interviews
have been conducted but I can't say more because of the ongoing
investigation," Lucin said in Slavonski Brod on Friday.
He believes that the investigation would take some time, since the
killing was carefully planned.
Lucin presented several figures about killings in 2002. Last year,
Zagreb was the venue of 13 cases of murder, and there were 77
killings in the entire country. Of this number, only one murder has
not yet been solved. This is why Lucin hopes that the latest case
will be solved as well.
"In the past two years we pressed 108 charges for organised crime.
The number of killings in this area has decreased considerably and
in the past three years we linked only three killings to organised
crime," the minister said.
