Mesic comments on Glavas, invitation to Serbian president to visit Vukovar, CEFTA

Autor: ;vmic;
MILOCER, Nov 16 (Hina) - Asked to comment on Wednesday's debate in the Croatian Parliament on lifting the immunity of independent MP Branimir Glavas so he could be remanded in custody on suspicion of committing war crimes against civilians in Osijek in late 1991, President Stjepan Mesic said on Thursday it was hard for him to comment because he has not heard all the arguments that were raised during the debate.
MILOCER, Nov 16 (Hina) - Asked to comment on Wednesday's debate in the Croatian Parliament on lifting the immunity of independent MP Branimir Glavas so he could be remanded in custody on suspicion of committing war crimes against civilians in Osijek in late 1991, President Stjepan Mesic said on Thursday it was hard for him to comment because he has not heard all the arguments that were raised during the debate.

"The Parliament's decision cannot have any impact on the judiciary. If someone is found not guilty they must be absolved from all responsibility, while those found guilty must bear the consequences," Mesic told reporters in the Montenegrin coastal resort of Milocer near Budva where he was attending a meeting of the Igman Initiative.

Reporters were also interested in Mesic's invitation to Serbian President Boris Tadic to visit Vukovar.

"The time is ripe for a Serbian delegation to come to Vukovar, but the question is, have all the conditions been met, are we now in a situation when we all can go to Vukovar, including a delegation of Serbia?" Mesic said.

"Serbia is facing elections and everyone there is thinking about votes they should get, so the question is, whom does it suit to appear (in Vukovar)?" he said, adding that it was the question that "those in Serbia should deal with."

"We want the truth about Vukovar to be clear to the whole world, because Vukovar was destroyed, people were killed so that some political goals could be achieved. We are now turning to European standards, there is no more war for territorial expansion, and every nation should pursue its happiness within the borders of its own state," the Croatian president said.

Mesic went on to say he was convinced that the misunderstandings with Bosnia-Herzegovina over the Central Europe Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) would be resolved.

"Everyone obviously wants to protect their own production, some want to protect their agriculture, some their livestock, some their manufacturing industry and others their industrial production. These are matters for negotiation. Everyone will come out with their arguments and a solution will be reached," Mesic said.
