GOLDSTEIN ASKS PAVLETIC TO INITIATE PROCEDURE AGAINST BORAS

ZAGREB, Oct 25 (Hina) - A member of the Sabor Commission for the Establishment of War and Post-War Victims, Slavko Goldstein, on Monday forwarded a letter to the National Sabor President Vlatko Pavletic, asking him to instigate proceedings, within his mandate, against the Commission's Secretary' Florijan Boras due to release of incorrect data in public. Goldstein wrote in the letter that Boras, in an interview to Hina on Friday, deliberately gave untrue statements and libelled a member of the Commission. Boras told Hina that Goldstein had incorrectly cited a sentence from a Report on the Commission's work, which refers to the sources of the data. Boras said the report read that data on war and post-war victims from Second World war were obtained from available material which the Commission has so far processed and not from available material, as Goldstein said. Boras told the news agency that the report had nowhere read that all available sources had been investigated. Goldstein said he has the original text of the Report which was discussed and accepted at the Commission's session on October 8 and that quotations in his articles and public statements had been word for word taken from the original, discussed and adopted text. Goldstein added he can support this assertion with evidence. "Subsequent changes of that text and their usage, which the Commission has neither considered nor approved and to which Boras possible refers, are not credible and they are punishable under Croatia's penal code," Goldstein said.
