Of 1,910 complaints, police dismissed 650 and are processing 1,230, according to the Police Directorate.
Ten thousand veterans from Bosnia's Croat Defence Council recently became problematic. The Croatian War Veterans' Ministry said their status was contentious and should be revoked because it was awarded based on certificates signed in 1996 by General Ljubo Cesic Rojs, a member of the Battlefield South Command at the time. All certificates are identical and say the person in question was wounded on Battlefield South.
A certificate will be declared null and void if a disabled Homeland War veteran or the family of a killed veteran cannot confirm, by Croatian defence or interior ministry certificates, that they took part in the defence of Croatia's sovereignty.
The war veterans' registry made public on 19 December 2012 contains the names 501,000 veterans. There were estimates that 150,000 were "false veterans".
The ministry said the erasing of "false veterans" was a very delicate legal process.
