Register and “the 1^st class of primary school” President of Croatia

10 Apr 2010

Croatian president said Croatia was in the first class of the primary school in the NATO!

But he, too, proved to be the 1^st class primary school president…

Croatian president Josipovic pressures the police to remove the blame from his close ally Marko Rakar for publication of Croatian Homeland War Register in the USA, which includes entire war structure searchable by units listed in a drop-down menu.

While doing so, he puts the blame on “para-intelligence underground” in Croatian power structures! This is interesting from at least two aspects.

First, the “para-intelligence underground” was a figure of governmental speech over the last decade in Croatia and abroad, which was meant to persecute anyone who was not favourable to the persecutions based on false accusations and media slander against general Ante Gotovina and other war-time heroes of Croatian independence.

Now, let’s take a look who supports the “operation” of the Register publication in the USA: Marko Rakar, Matija Babic (index), certain reporters of Jutarnji list, Sasa Perkovic (national security advisor whose father is accused for murder of Croatians in Germany), and certain other parties who consider the constitutional law breech as an heroic act! All of them: hostile to Croatian war against aggression in the 1990s.

Hence, they compose so-called “para-intelligence underground” behind publication of the Register, or they support it at least.

By the way, for some of their media (Inoslav Besker), even the Mertz’s portrait made by general Gotovina in The Hague’s prison, served as an occasion to reactivate the false accusations composed by that “underground” – very closely tied to the top politicians! It’s clear that such an “underground” still operates, but under top political protection in Croatia!

Next, if Croatian president admits that there’s still an “intelligence underground” operating in Croatia, why do they all (him and the government) praise the achievements of the last 10 years since Social-democrats in coalition with former communist parties and  “reformed HDZ” in coalition with the former aggressors exchange the seats in the government?

New president is even more strange with his proposal as to how to get out of the impasse with the register: He’d do it by legalizing it in Croatia, under the excuse that majority of the public would agree… Then Croatia doesn’t need the president — who’s also the chief commander of armed forces – if such issues of national security are to be solved by the public (and quite a “majority” of it: more than half of population didn’t even vote!). Whatever might be the problem with the register (incomplete, or staffed with false volunteers), he admits that the “state of the law” cannot solve it. It only creates the turmoil, while the corruption issues in connection with that Register remain unpacked. Obviously, his “justice” consists in creating the disorder and inciting the breech of laws, where some private firm in the USA gets in possession of the most sensitive, top secret data….

The president tries to undermine the problem by stating that it was incomplete. Fine. Then he finds that certain data were erased prior to publication, and we don’t need to wonder how he knows that; obviously, he’s deeply involved in the criminal act. He also informs us that it dates from 2006, when the major changes in the Register took place…. Let’s stop here: Indeed, that’s the year when the most obscure government lobbyists and persecutors favourable to prosecution of the greatest Croatian heroes, and close to Mesic and Sanader and their view that the Homeland war should be brought before the ICTY, became proud “defenders” who suddenly served incredible periods on the front lines in the 1990s! They, too, used all illegal methods against their opponents, including intimidation attempts, insults, all kinds of harassments and threats, and even the identity theft! They were needed to outnumber those who wanted the truth about the Homeland war, not simply an “unconditional cooperation” turned against the most innocent, while protecting real criminals such as themselves. They doubled the number of “volunteers”! Moreover, they had all financial means at their disposal so to get a “critical mass” necessary for their view to prevail (e.g., credit distribution so to bribe and corrupt people, government links in mediation so to cover their criminal acts etc.) which was to convince their local population that they were indeed powerful, above the law, and “defenders”.

Whatever the case, it’s a pity that some believe to achieve justice via private firm in the USA (where little is indeed “private”, when it’s about such matters), and via breech of constitutional law. Mr President would rather adapt the law, for he cannot guarantee his allies wouldn’t be found guilty: he certainly defends them.

Finally, the president and his media sent a very wrong message to all Croatia’s partners in any area of cooperation – given that the top secret can end up in the hands of a private firm in the USA, with his justifications that undermine the problem. He destroyed not only his credibility but that of Croatia – it must be some modern USA government style. As for the USA, it ignores the requests by Croatian government to withdraw the Register: The owner of Invisihosting said he’d withdraw it only on the request by the USA…

So what’s the point of publishing the Register by those who didn’t participate in the war, if it’s incomplete, if its parts are “erased” (as President informs us), if false defenders in it are not revealed in terms of benefits they took for their false status? And let’s not forget those fighting in Afghanistan along the USA, listed in the Register… It’s the end of the idea of the state of the law, of Croatian armed forces and its “fair partnerships,” and of Croatia’s credibility under such president and such governance.

Finally, the President recently said what he thought about Croatia’s first steps in the NATO: according to him, Croatia was “in the first class of the primary school” within the NATO. Why then were they all bothered with those officers in the war, who only had a secondary school education (often slammed by media supporting Josipovic today, and Mesic and Sanader ‘yesterday’).

That’s the kind of military they’ve been capable to develop (in peace-time, with no major war disturbances as in the 1990s, when Croatian forces won against 4^th strongest military power in Europe, Yugoslav army and Serbs). “The 1^st class of the primary school” is however a serious underestimation of Croatian forces. A threat in itself. Perhaps, they were capable of ruining not only Croatian forces but also its best soldiers…. Let this not surprise us.

We can safely conclude that Croatia has a president at the level of the 1^st class of primary school. It’s how they “advanced” with their “Euro-Atlantic” integrations. Then, he shouldn’t be let to play with serious things…

Croatian people was certainly capable of great things, but with such leaders, that’s the level they should follow.
