There were also his personal notes. The Zagreb police reported today that the car of Ivic Pasalic had been broken into on Monday and his briefcase was stolen. The car, parked in front of General Ivan Cermak's building, was broken into, while Ivic Pasalic was visiting his friend Cermak. The police today also clarified the case of the disappearance of a car of Ivic Pasalic's brother Zdravko. Earlier in the day the police reported that the car was stolen.
