ZAGREB, June 30 (Hina) - Addressing the Croatian parliament's House of Representatives on Tuesday, Ivic Pasalic of the ruling Croatian Democratic Union assessed claims that he was a "mentor of intelligence services" as pure
fabrication.

ZAGREB, June 30 (Hina) - Addressing the Croatian parliament's House
of Representatives on Tuesday, Ivic Pasalic of the ruling Croatian
Democratic Union assessed claims that he was a "mentor of
intelligence services" as pure fabrication.
Pasalic addressed a Lower House session which discussed security
and intelligence services and the opposition's demand for the
establishment of a commission of inquiry which would probe into
illegal activities in their work.
Pasalic said his field of activity as the President's advisor for
internal affairs did not include contacts with intelligence
services, but with state ministries.
"If someone, anyone, has any sort of evidence (about illegal
activities), then he should put it forward before the competent
body, the Committee for Internal Affairs and National Security,"
Pasalic said.
He wished nobody to go through what he had to in the case of
Dubrovacka bank when, he said, he "was framed by (former bank
president) Barac and society." Anyone can write your name on a
pamphlet and publish it in a paper, and then it is up to you to "wash
it off", Pasalic said.
He wondered why nobody questioned why such pamphlets were published
in weeklies, in this case "Nacional", the owner of which, according
to the editor, is Barac himself.
