participants in an annual meeting of county and municipal court
judges in Pula on Friday he believed Croatian courts were capable of

"However, Croatian courts cannot and must not be blamed when some
key witness suddenly loses his/her memory, or when there is no
evidence to make a ruling. Without evidence there can be no trial at
all," said Crnic.
He stated that prior to every trial, the police and State
Prosecutor's Office have to do their part of the job properly.
Crnic called on the media and the public to show more confidence in
courts and let them work in peace, saying this would make the
results of court proceedings the same as in any other civilised and
democratic state.
