Zagreb blast suspect Vojislav Blazevic had travelled to Banja Luka to pay visits to his mother-in-law, Blazevic's lawyer Branko Seric told the press on Wednesday after the media speculated about reasons for Blazevic's trips to that city in northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Also, the Croatian police asked the Bosnian Serb entity's counterparts to check what Blazevic was doing in Banja Luka and who he was in contact with.
"Blazevic insists on being unfairly accused and on having no connections with the two explosions in west Zagreb last week," the lawyer told the media after visiting his client in the prison infirmary.
Seric said Blazevic, who had started a hunger strike, was in a poor condition.
The blasts of makeshift explosive devices rocked west Zagreb on 9 and 11 January. The first explosive device was planted on railway tracks near the Podsused railway station and went off when a cargo train drove over. The second device went off at a nearby bus station and in that explosion Bzlazevic sustained minor injuries.
On 14 January, Blazevic (54), was given a 30-day detention by Zagreb County Court on the grounds that he was considered as a flight risk and to prevent him from tampering with evidence.
The suspect chose to remain silent and the motive for the attack is still not know.
