ZAGREB, May 23 (Hina) - After Franjo Katavic recently admitted having forged passports for the runaway Hague tribunal indictee Ante Gotovina and the fugitive businessman Hrvoje Petrac at the request of police officer Salih Fazlic and attorney Marijan Pedisic, an investigating judge will on Wednesday again interview the three suspects, as well as a former director of the Intelligence Agency (OA), Damir Loncaric.

Zagreb County Court investigating judge Zdenko Posavec on Monday confirmed to Hina that the interview with Katavic, Fazlic, Pedisic and Loncaric was scheduled for Wednesday at 10 am, after new investigative measures were requested by the Zagreb Municipality Prosecutor's Office.

Loncaric is expected to be interviewed for the first time with regard to information about the allegedly forged passports for Gotovina and Petrac, which he is believed to have had in his capacity of OA chief. According to unofficial sources, Loncaric has been already interviewed by Chief State Prosecutor Mladen Bajic.

According to the media, the interview was marked a classified document at the time and it was only recently declassified.

Zagreb Municipality Prosecutor Vesna Abramovic has confirmed that new investigative measures have been requested to establish how Petrac obtained the forged passport, as well as who made it and at whose request.

At their last interview on May 12, Pedisic and Fazlic denied being connected to the forgery of the passport for the runaway General Ante Gotovina, while Katavic admitted having committed forgery in that case, as well as in the case of the fugitive businessman Hrvoje Petrac, who is wanted for involvement in the kidnapping of the underage son of retired General Vladimir Zagorac.

Since the forgery of Petrac's passport was not subject to investigative measures at the time, that part of Katavic's statement was not taken into account.

The Zagreb Municipality Prosecutor's Office has therefore requested new investigative measures, and the list of persons to be interviewed has been expanded to include the former OA chief.
