said that the establishment of such an institution in this part
of Europe was very useful. Criminals were being organized
better, and the police should do the same. The training at the
academy, which Croatian policemen will also attend, would be
useful in future cooperation between countries in fighting
ogranized crime.
Jarnjak and his assistants, Zeljko Sacic and Mladen
Lackovic, head of the cabinet Zdravko Zidovec and advisor to the
Croatian Embassy in Budapest Naco Zelic, held talks with members

the Danubian occupied region who are also being trained for the
needs of UNTAES in Budapest, and spoke about their future tasks
