"I have no information about this, so I can neither confirm it nor
deny it at the moment," Mlinaric said.
According to some media reports, the recently resigned head of the
Counterintelligence Agency, Franjo Turek, presented senior government
officials, including Mlinaric, with alleged evidence of six Croatian
reporters spreading misinformation about Gotovina in cooperation with
foreign secret services.
Turek reportedly presented photographs and transcripts of
conversations between journalists and foreign intelligence agents.
