persons suspected of having committed war crimes during the
Homeland War, president of the Croatian Homeland War Veterans'
Association, Djuro Decak, said Thursday "if these arrests are
legally founded, the law-based state must function".
Following a meeting between representatives of the World Veteran

Tomcic, Decak assessed the media were creating a great fuss over the
apprehensions, which, he deems, could bear negative repercussions
on the Croatian society.
"Something could grow out of this that should not," Decak said,

Decak said that meetings of the World Veteran Federation delegation
with President Stipe Mesic and Parliament speaker Zlatko Tomcic had
not spoken about the apprehension of persons connected with war
crimes.
These arrests are Croatia's internal affair and are not an issue for
the World Veteran Federation, Decak asserted.
