Parliament has already adopted a decision approving Glavas's detention for the same crime and for the same criminal proceedings, at the request of the Osijek County Prosecutor's Office, and there is no need for the Committee to decide on this again, Damir Sesvecan told Hina on Tuesday, but added that the Committee would consider a request if one was made.
Parliament approved detention for Glavas and investigations into the so-called Sellotape and Garage war crimes cases in late November.
Parliament Deputy Speaker Mato Arlovic of the Social Democratic Party too said there was no need for parliament to decide on detention again because it had already decided on the matter when it stripped Glavas of immunity and approved that he be placed in custody in both cases.
"Glavas was placed in custody in the Garage case, but detention was suspended due to his health, but detention was never consumed in the Sellotape case," Arlovic told Hina, adding there was no obstacle to immediately placing Glavas in custody.
He said the decisions stripping Glavas of immunity and approving detention could be changed only if Glavas's attorneys proved serious violations of constitutional rights.
Parliament Speaker Vladimir Seks declined to comment on the Glavas case, Croatian Radio said.
The Osijek County Prosecutor's Office yesterday indicted Glavas and six other persons in the so-called Sellotape war crimes - the murder of 10 and wounding of one civilian by the Drava river in 1991 - after which the County Court set detention for Glavas. The other accused were already in custody.
Glavas told the press earlier today his attorney had requested judge Darko Kruslin to obtain the consent of the parliamentary Credentials and Privileges Committee with regard to his detention.
