ZAGREB, May 11 (Hina) - The Croatian Disabled Homeland War Veterans Association (HVIDR-a) most harshly condemns the proposal of the ICTY Prosecution to amend the indictment against generals Mladen Markac and Ivan Cermak and qualify Operation Storm as a criminal enterprise, in which the entire state and military leadership joined for the ethnic cleansing of Serb civilians.

"The amended indictment does not surprise Croatian citizens at all considering the moves made so far by the ICTY Chief Prosecutor, who did not recognise the foundations of the Croatian state from the very beginning, and now she entirely lost all criteria because she criminalises the Homeland War, the right of a sovereign state to self-defence, all the Croatian Homeland War soldiers who shed their blood for freedom and defence of Croatia," HVIDR-a said in a statement issued on Wednesday.

The association underlined that the Prosecution's proposal was entirely contrary to the 1994 UN General Assembly's Declaration on the right of a sovereign occupied country to self defence and added the indictment would easily be contested in court.

"However, such allegations seriously distort historical facts and tamper with the open wounds of the families of killed Croatian soldiers, the families of detained and missing soldiers and Homeland War veterans," said the statement signed by HVIDR-a president Josip Djakic.
