What the case we have here, the Croatian security system will determine,” Dr. Sc. Tonji Prodi, former security officer.

According to the first data, it is about a pilot who has been engaged in a mission to Kosovo. Civil and military police are involved in the investigation, everything supervised by DORH, which says details are completely classified.

Mysel Jakhriq (SDP) adds: “This case clearly shows that a more responsible and rational approach is needed to the security challenges we are in. We expect the answer if there were any concessions on security checks. ”

The second type of information, which could jeopardise the national security of the Republic of Croatia, he neither knew nor could give,” Mandic told Nova Television.

The girl had a direct connection with the office of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, but also with the office of Kosovo Prime Minister. The question is whether in such an operation the agent was convinced, because there is information that she has been working on yet another service of a major NATO member,”, he noted.

“System functions and it shows that it works. There can always be diversions of individuals, but the system works very well and should not be raised in any such problem by looking for mistakes in the system. Rather, the system found and prosecuted it,”, it concluded./Periscopi/
