Ivanic remembers pilot who defected from JNA to join Croatian forces

Autor: mses
ZAGREB, Oct 28 (Hina) - Commemorative events were held in Ivanic Grad and the nearby village of Caginec, southeast of Zagreb, on Sunday in tribute to Rudolf Peresin, a fighter pilot in the former Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) who on 25 October 1991 defected from a military air base in Bihac, Bosnia and Herzegovina, landing with his MIG 21 jet in Klagenfurt, Austria. Upon his landing, Peresin said that he was a Croat and did not want to shoot at his people, a statement that resonated strongly in Croatia as well as in other countries.
