HR-BULLETIN-Politika BRIEF NEWS BULLETIN IN ENGLISH NO. 3861 HINA ZAGREB, JANUARY 2 GENERAL STIPETIC WILLING TO GIVE TESTIMONYZAGREB, Jan 2 (Hina) - The Croatian Armed Forces' chief-of-staff, General Petar Stipetic, was quoted by the 'Vecernji List' as saying that he was "disposed to talk with Hague investigators" and that nobody should fear that he would not testify frankly about events during the Homeland Defence War in the 1990's. "I would like to testify and say clearly that Croatia waged a defence war," General Stipetic said in his interview published by Tuesday's issue of the daily. He added that he however did not want to travel voluntarily to The Hague as he believed that he could give an equally good statement in Zagreb explaining all that should be expounded. I am in favour of establishing the truth as I would like to see the Hague Tribunal acquainted with the causes and true situation in the 1991-1995 period, and thus it can establish what had been done and who did all that
