MESIC: THERE IS NO NEED TO CALL PARLIAMENTARY SESSION ABOUT STIPETIC

ZAGREB, Aug 11 (Hina) - Croatian President Stipe Mesic said on Friday he saw no reason for the Croatian National Sabor to investigate 'the Stipetic case'. "I don't see a single reason why the Croatian National Sabor should convene a session because of that," Mesic told reporters at Zagreb airport upon his arrival from the United States. 'Globus' weekly reported last week the Chief Prosecutor of the Hague war crimes tribunal, Carla del Ponte, had informed Mesic and Prime Minister Ivica Racan, during her last visit to Zagreb, that the tribunal was conducting an investigation against the Croatian Armed Forces' Chief-of-Staff General Petar Stipetic, which the two officials denied. "General Stipetic was never mentioned," Mesic said today, adding there would always be media speculations.

ZAGREB, Aug 11 (Hina) - Croatian President Stipe Mesic said on Friday he saw no reason for the Croatian National Sabor to investigate 'the Stipetic case'. "I don't see a single reason why the Croatian National Sabor should convene a session because of that," Mesic told reporters at Zagreb airport upon his arrival from the United States. 'Globus' weekly reported last week the Chief Prosecutor of the Hague war crimes tribunal, Carla del Ponte, had informed Mesic and Prime Minister Ivica Racan, during her last visit to Zagreb, that the tribunal was conducting an investigation against the Croatian Armed Forces' Chief-of-Staff General Petar Stipetic, which the two officials denied. "General Stipetic was never mentioned," Mesic said today, adding there would always be media speculations. After the 'Stipetic case' became topical, the president of the Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS), Drazen Budisa, who did not attend the talks in question, issued a statement claiming that general Stipetic had been mentioned at the talks between del Ponte and the Croatian state leaders. Sabor Speaker Zlatko Tomcic yesterday suggested that the issue be resolved at a meeting of the state leadership, and, if necessary, that issues regarding the Hague war crimes tribunal be discussed at a parliamentary session. Tomcic was among the state officials who today welcomed Mesic and who listened to the new conference. Answering several questions on the Stipetic case, Mesic said that topic had not been discussed at the Washington talks. Asked whether he would meet Budisa to clarify who was telling the truth, Mesic said, "There is no point in discussing it... with all due respect to Mr Budisa." Mesic refused to comment on the news regarding the transfer of general Mirko Norac, who has been mentioned in the media as one of the persons the Hague tribunal was conducting an investigation against, to a war school. "I would not want to speculate," he said. (hina) rml
