    Belisce, 12 March: Branimir Glavas, a Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) member of parliament and chairman of the Osijek County Assembly, said this evening in Belisce that he was confident that if the country's accession talks with the EU do not begin on 17 March, there were other reasons for this apart from Gen Ante Gotovina. "Gen Gotovina is not a criminal of any sort but rather a Homeland War hero and he deserves the gratitude of the Croatian people. They need to have a deep-seated conviction that all these monstrous attacks on him will be refuted in court, be it domestic or international, because Croatia wants to be part of modern Europe," Glavas said.
