A shameful verdict of the Hague tribunal

andWe believe that today's judgment rendered shameful and unjust for the whole Croatian nation. Pronouncing this judgment puts the stigma not only to all veterans, but also to everything that they stood for. Verdict delivered completely twisted the facts about the war, Liberation and action has been declared criminal act, and in this way and all of us who have fought for an independent and free Croatia declared criminals and the same to us said that they are not supposed to defend the Serbian aggressors.
Today, not only condemned our generals Gotovina and Markac, Today was convicted Our Country and our people, condemned all those who gave their lives for their homeland. This judgment by the ICTY confirmed that the political judgment.
Members ZUHBL PTS RC of state leadership required to take vigorous action to annul this disgraceful verdict and release our heroes.

RELEASE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COORDINATION from the Veterans about the statement in the show ˝ your are not two ˝

logo-zuhblptspWe hereby express our indignation and strong reaction to statements by Aleksandar Stankovic who is editor and host of "Sunday at Two", which is on 16.01.2011. on Croatian television gave inappropriate and unacceptable statement that Croatian soldiers belong to political corruption. This is not only unacceptable statement, but this is of course the false statement to be false wants to purchase the Croatian public that 500.000 Croatian war veterans enjoyed the so-called. "Privilegiranim mirovinama", and just the facts and arguments have long been denied this false information.
Which in this izjavom Aleksandrar Stanković wants to Grublje way to relativize Domovinki rat, his great sacrifices in the war gave the Croatian people, Croatian citizens, all members of all national minorities, and war trauma and unfortunately today feel numerous Croatian war veterans and their families.
Such unsubstantiated statements include the typical example of belittling the historical truth and Croatian legal order and used in daily politics and political goals that we want to belittle and politicize the Homeland war in this election year. Therefore Croatian war veterans and their families can not and would not accept a lump sum and petty political assessment Croatian Homeland War Veterans and than seeking to be all things to talk about, but at an acceptable, reasoned and civilized manner with relevant interlocutors.
Therefore, the Republican co-ordination of Homeland War of the HRT Council requested that, because of these media-handling statements editor and host of "Sunday at Two" initiate sanctions. Takva statements nedvojbeno deposits štetu Homeland rat, all Croatian war veterans, but the Croatian public television that is and must be a public service for all citizens, also expect the condemnation of Croatian Journalists' Association.
