ZAGREB, Dec 24 (Hina) - Croatia's Interior Ministry declined to comment
on allegations by a Serbian daily that Milorad Lukovic a.k.a. Legija
appeared in Zagreb ten days ago.#L#
"The Interior Ministry does not want to comment on press reports,"
the ministry's spokeswoman, Zinka Bardic, said shortly on Wednesday
afternoon.
Lukovic, the prime defendant accused of Serbian Premier Zoran
Djindjic's assassination, was seen in Zagreb some ten days ago, the
Belgrade-based Vecernje Novosti daily reported today. According to
the Serbian daily, the information on the appearance of Legija, a
former commander of the Serbian Interior Ministry's units for special
operations called 'Red Berets', was confirmed by some circles in both
Croatian and Serbian authorities, as well as by members of the
underground."
"The reason why Croatians did not try to arrest him is not known," the
daily said. A warrant for Lukovic's arrest was issued a few days after
Djindjic's assassination in mid-March.
