OSIJEK, July 20 (Hina) - Independent member of the Croatian
Parliament Branimir Glavas on Wednesday accused the Office of the Chief Public
Prosecutor of attempts to frame him for war crimes, and said that he had
performed his duties during the 1991-1995 Homeland War in accordance with the
law and the laws of war. Glavas called a press conference in the
eastern city of Osijek where he distributed copies of a testimony incriminating
him in the killings of Serb civilians in late 1991 in Paulin Dvor, a village
just outside Osijek.
Glavas said that the purpose of the testimony, made by Josip Uglik on
13 August 2003, was to compromise him politically, and stressed that he would
not tolerate "any trumped-up charges or fake witnesses" against him.
