SPLIT, April 3 (Hina) - Speaking about the latest indictments against

"The allegations in the indictments are worse than we feared," Djapic
said and added the indictments undermined the justification of the
Homeland War and the struggle of the Croatian people for their
independence.
According to the indictments, all Croat institutions in Bosnia are
criminal but their setting up was a minimum which had to be taken in
order to protect the Croats in Bosnia, Djapic said.
According to him, it is monstrous to interpret the fact that Croatia
provided for 500,000 Muslim refugees as part of an ethnic cleansing
plan. "This is not an attack only on Bosnian Croats, but also on the
Croatian state which in 1991 fully supported the defence of the Croat
people in Bosnia," Djapic said.
Djapic said this was a direct blow to the foundations of the Croatian
state, "We cannot tolerate this, which is why we insist on the holding
of an extraordinary parliamentary session," the HSP leader said and
added that in choosing between the avis and dignity in the defence of
the Croatian state, the HSP chose the latter.
"We demand of the government to react strongly. We expect of the prime
minister to take concrete measures in defending Croatia from The
Hague, which has crossed the last line because the allegations are not
of legal but of a political nature," Djapic said.
Asked how the HSP would react if it was the ruling party, Djapic said
it would hold a public referendum.
