STATE ATTORNEY KNOWS NOTHING OF SAKIC'S ALLEGED REQUESTS

( Editorial: --> 3997 ) ZAGREB, June 26 (Hina) - Croatian State Attorney Marijan Hranjski on Friday told Hina he "knows absolutely nothing" of requests by the World War II Jasenovac concentration camp commander Dinko Sakic to be tried by an authorised Croatian court. "This is the first time I hear this," Hranjski said. A US citizen of Bosnian Croat origin, Ekrem Spahic, on June 24 told Voice of America that Sakic wrote to him saying he had requested on three occasions that an authorised Croatian court try him for alleged acts he had committed in the defence of his homeland, the Independent State of Croatia. Asked to comment on a statement by the Argentinean Simon Wiesenthal Centre that Argentina should also extradite Sakic's wife Esperanza to Croatia, State Attorney Hranjski said that for the time being he could not comment "on some facts which are being presented as political and not expert estimations." "We can start something only after we have inspected the facts," Hranjski told Hina in a phone interview. The Croatian State Attorney's Office is independently assessing the evidence and whether there is a basis for initiating certain proceedings. "When the proceedings against Sakic were started, Milan Bulajic (Belgrade Genocide Museum director) tried to impose from Belgrade his political speculations on that case as well," Hranjski said adding that the State Attorney's office was not fascinated with speculations. By initiating proceedings against Sakic we have shown readiness to apply the legal and criminal procedure on any individual charged with the gravest crimes, Hranjski said adding he refuted any attempt aimed at questioning the objective approach to any crime. "I find any meddling into or estimations about the Sakic case and other possible proceedings to be more politically motivated than aimed at establishing responsibility for committed crimes...the more so should some from abroad try to blame Croatia for fascistisation. It is exactly with the legal proceedings that Croatia will show its independence in the judiciary and its aspirations towards western European judicial standards," Hranjski said.
