The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 commented on Thursday on the arrest of HDZ Vukovar-Srijem County Prefect Damir Dekani\u0107, who was apprehended over irregularities in a traffic accident in which he was involved last year, saying that what happened goes \u201cto the top.\u201d During a press conference after his meeting with the Chairwoman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina \u017deljka Cvijanovi\u0107, the President asserted that \u201cwhat happened in Vinkovci with this county prefect goes all the way to the top.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes the law recognize a procedure by which you get drunk, go wild in your car\u2026 knock down a fence, hit another car and then falsify a report? Does the law recognize that? Or, do the political party\u2019s regulations recognize that?,\u201d commented President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was Prime Minister, so to say that the Prime Minister has nothing to do with a county head who got drunk, caused a major traffic accident and covered it up for a year is just fairy tales. That\u2019s the problem… It amounts to destroying the state,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the request by the parliamentary Committee on National Security, where the ruling HDZ has a majority of seats, for President Milanovi\u0107 to support the candidate for the post of Director of the Military Security Intelligence Agency (VSOA) proposed by Defence Minister Mario Bano\u017ei\u0107, President Milanovi\u0107 said: \u201cI will never support him because he is being forced on me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After saying that he was being \u201cinvited to support a companion of the guy who is knocking down fences drunk,\u201d the President asked how the Committee even knew who that was, since that person did not undergo a hearing at the Committee yet, which must first give its opinion. \u201cIt\u2019s all turned upside down. You are inviting me to give my signature and put my trust in a person who did not even stand before the Committee yet. A legal procedure exists,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Milanovi\u0107 again accused Prime Minister Plenkovi\u0107 of \u201copenly violating the Constitution.\u201d \u201cI have been proposing for a year that the National Security Council should meet, and the Prime Minister has been openly violating the Constitution and refusing cooperation on matters he has the obligation to cooperate on under the Constitution,\u201d the President of the Republic said.
