Speaking to reporters after the meeting, the president of the Association of Homeland War Volunteers and Veterans, Simun Bubalo, said Faber's request for war veterans to come to the police headquarters for an interview about events during the war in Osijek in 1991 and 1992 was inappropriate.
"We, who defended this town, and residents of Osijek know best what was going on here and we don't need Faber to lecture us about it," Bubalo said.
The leader of the county association gathering former inmates of Serb-run concentration camps, Tomislav Hajdukovic, said it was shameful that Adonis Hodzic, a man who had spent 707 days in Serb camps, had been brought in for questioning at night like a criminal.
Miljenko Kolobaric, leader of the Osijek city association of disabled war veterans, which two days ago organised a news conference at which Hodzic accused the police of having unlawfully brought him in to sign a blank paper with the aim of compromising Branimir Glavas, said the police were now dismissing their claims and inviting them to a "brainwashing session".
Of the 11 local associations making up the coordinating body, four have decided to go to the meeting with Faber.
Zlata Valet, head of the coordinating body, said they would urge investigations into all killings committed in Osijek during the war.
After the news conference, the leaders of the four associations left for the meeting with Faber, to be held behind closed doors.
