IVANISEVIC: OFFICIALS SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL WHEN MAKING PUBLIC STATEMENTS

ZAGREB, Sept 27 (Hina) - The Croatian Constitution reads that a person is innocent until proven guilty and statements which do not take this into account are contrary to constitutional regulations, Justice Minister Stjepan Ivanisevic said during question time at the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Asked by Nevio Setic of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) if Premier Ivica Racan exerted pressure on the judicial authority and acted contrary to the Constitution when he claimed after the Gospic arrests that war and common criminals had been arrested, Ivanisevic said words in public statements are often not carefully chosen and advised government and other officials to exercise more caution when making public statements.

ZAGREB, Sept 27 (Hina) - The Croatian Constitution reads that a person is innocent until proven guilty and statements which do not take this into account are contrary to constitutional regulations, Justice Minister Stjepan Ivanisevic said during question time at the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Asked where the so-called 'Ahmici group' would be tried and whether The Hague war crimes tribunal had requested that the suspects be handed over, Ivanisevic said the tribunal had not requested their hand-over so far. However, there is a possibility for such a request and in that case Croatia is obliged to hand them over, he added. Asked about Croatia's genocide suit against Yugoslavia and how much it cost, Ivanisevic said the suit that had been filed a year ago was incomplete and Croatia was given an extended deadline to submit an amended suit until March 15 2001. The original suit, drawn up by a foreign law firm, cost about five million dollars, whereas the amended version, which is being drawn up by domestic and foreign experts, will cost about US$700,000, Ivanisevic said.
