OSIJEK, March 8 (Hina) - The leader of the Croatian True Revival (HIP) party, Miroslav Tudjman, has said Croatia's national security and intelligence system are not functioning well, which, along with many other mistakes made by the
ruling coalition, "which can't see why Croatia is desirable as a NATO and EU member", bears witness to the fact that the government is in a subordinate position.

Explaining his statements at a news conference in Osijek of
Saturday, Tudjman said that a foreign ambassador's statement in an
interview, "We want this government to be obedient", had not
provoked any reaction by the authorities.
Asked about the situation in the army, a HIP vice-president,
Admiral Davor Domazet Loso, said the reorganisation of the army was
just another name for breaking it up.
"What can we say when the Croatian Army does not include any general
who fought in the Homeland War", Domazet said, adding that 12,000-
13,000 soldiers would be dismissed, mostly those who had fought in
the war, which he added would jeopardise the army's combat
readiness.
