ZAGREB, March 14 (Hina) - Judges of the Croatian Supreme Court and
presidents of the Administrative, High Commercial, High
Magistrates', and all county courts in Croatia demanded an apology
of Croatian Justice Minister Stjepan Ivanisevic because of his
statement in which Ivanisevic said there was corruption in the
Croatian Judiciary.
The judges believe that Ivanisevic's statements represent
"dangerous claims which put us back in a dark period of totalitarian
regime in which everyone could be accused without evidence, the
Croatian Supreme Court reported Tuesday.
From those statements, one can come up with a conclusion that the
Justice Minister makes general accusations on account of the entire
judicial authorities "without considering the fact that this
damages its reputation in the public".
It is obvious that this is a harsh assault by the of the executive
authority on the judicial authority with the help of political
power, which is completely unacceptable to officials of the
judicial authority, the judges said in the statement.
"Even if the Minister provided evidence on individual cases of
corruption, his generalisations are unacceptable", the judges
concluded.
