MILAN BLAZEKOVIC TESTIFIES IN SAKIC TRIAL

( Editorial: --> 1734 ) ZAGREB, Aug 4 (Hina) - Investigating proceedings against Dinko Sakic resumed on Tuesday with the testimony of witness Milan Blazekovic, 85, before the investigating judge at the Zagreb County Court. Sakic was the commander of a World War Two concentration camp in Croatia. He was recently extradited from Argentina. Blazekovic was an employee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) between April and December 1941. He then spent 18 months at a faculty for foreign affairs in Berlin. In mid-1943 he was employed at the NDH office in Berlin, where he worked through the end of WW2. After the war he went to Argentina, where he lived until 1996. The witness said he did not know anything about the accused, that he had only heard during WW2 that Sakic was "working in some office at the camp." After the war, the witness was in touch with Sakic two or three times. On one occasion he spoke to a person who handed him "a paper about camps written by Sakic." On one occasion in Argentina, Sakic asked Blazekovic to review a text Sakic had written about the Lorkovic-Vokic case, Blazekovic told the court. His last meeting with Sakic took place at a 1975 Croatian National Council congress in Toronto. (hina) ha 041613 MET aug 98
