Croatian war veteran Petar Janjic, whom Serbia accused along with two other veterans, Danko Maslov and Tihomir Purda, of war crimes, was questioned by a Vukovar County Court investigating judge, Nevenka Zeko, at the request of the Serbian authorities.
After the questioning, Janjic said Serbia should stop prosecuting Croatian war veterans.
Also present at the questioning were Janjic's attorney Kresimir Krsnik, Vukovar County Prosecutor Bozidar Piljic, a Belgrade High Court investigating judge, and a prosecutor from the same court.
Serbian investigators questioned Janjic for half an hour.
They asked a lot of questions and I only managed to explain the event from Vinogradska Street, Janjic told reporters, adding that a group of Croatian soldiers, including himself, saved in that street in Vukovar in 1991 an enemy soldier and carried the bodies of killed enemy soldiers to "no man's land and handed them over to the aggressor."
Janjic said the investigation carried at that time showed that those soldiers were killed by bullets fired by their own army.
He reiterated that Serbia should stop prosecuting Croatian war veterans. Serbian investigators were well prepared, they had documents which no one knew existed, Janjic said.
"When I was in concentration camps, I signed everything. Not a single document they showed me today had my handwriting or my signature," Janjic said, adding that over the past month and a half he had been under enormous pressure.
Lawyer Krsnik said that after today's questioning, he expected Serbia to drop the charges against his client.
Serbia indicted Janjic for war crimes against the infirm and wounded in Vukovar in 1991, together with Danko Maslov, who was questioned at the Zagreb County Court earlier today, and Tihomir Purda, who is in custody in Bosnia and Herzegovina and was questioned in Sarajevo on Monday.
