ZAGREB, May 10 (Hina) - President Stjepan Mesic was asked by reporters on Wednesday to comment on requests for independent member of Parliament Branimir Glavas to be stripped of immunity and for Vice Vukojevic to be suspended as a Constitutional Court judge for their alleged roles in war crimes committed in the 1990s.

"Let the institutions do their job because that way we will reaffirm ourselves as a law-governed country where all people are equal before the law," Mesic said during a visit to a business company.

Glavas is suspected of war crimes against Serb civilians in the eastern city of Osijek in 1991, while Vukojevic reportedly raped a Muslim woman in a Bosnian Croat-run detention camp during the Muslim-Croat war in Bosnia.

Prompted by a recent Croatian television report, People's Party (HNS) leader Vesna Pusic has filed a request with the Parliament's Committee on the Constitution, urging it to take the necessary steps to suspend Vukojevic as a Constitutional Court judge until relevant authorities establish whether there are grounds for a rape charge.

During Question Time in Parliament on Wednesday, Pusic asked Prime Minister Ivo Sanader if the parliamentary majority would support her initiative. Sanader said that her question was misdirected and referred her to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
