After two-hour talks, the State Secretary with the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs, Zoran Komar, told a press conference that the meeting focused on cases conducted by the police and the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. He quoted Chief Public Prosecutor Mladen Bajic as saying that only three per cent of war crimes cases were being conducted against Croatian veterans.

Komar said that multiple investigations into the death of Djuro Brodarac were being carried out by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the ministries of justice and health, and that their results would be presented to the public.

The president of the Croatian Independent Volunteers association, Slavica Hruskar, said that the associations would wait for the results of the investigative commissions and would meet again at the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs in three weeks' time. She said that the data concerning war crimes prosecution was authentic and that veterans' associations did not ask for the proceedings to be suspended.

"We are all equal before the law, but we are asking for a different approach to Croatian veterans," Hruskar said.

Bajic told reporters before the meeting that no one could demand suspension of investigations of Croatian veterans. "I am certain that veterans fully understand that anyone who committed a crime must answer for it," he said.
