Speaking at a news conference, Djapic said that Prime Minister Ivo
Sanader confirmed to opposition leaders today that the government had
received the indictments.
"The HSP will continue to insist on complete information about the
content of the indictments because at the meeting with PM Sanader it
could be concluded implicitly that they challenge the very foundations
of the Croatian state and accuse the entire political and military
leadership from 1995," Djapic said.
He said the HSP could to some extent understand the stand of
opposition leaders that any political opposition to the indictments
could only be detrimental to Croatia. However, there is no chance of
the HSP allowing the creeping relativisation of the Homeland War or
attacks on the very foundations of the state, Djapic added.
