BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA: Two detained Turkish journalists freed
in exchange for bodies of two Bosnian Serb television
journalists; Bosnian government denies reports that the
journalists died in detention
 
ORIGINATOR: Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), New York
 
  **Updates IFEX alerts dated 20, 18, 17, 16 October 1995**
 
CPJ continues to investigate reports of the death in
detention of Serbian television journalists Sasa Kolevski
and Goran Pejcinovic, despite claims by the Bosnian
authorities that the journalists were killed in conflict. On
23 October 1995, Mirza Hajriz, press spokesperson for the
Bosnian Foreign Ministry in Sarajevo, denied that Kolevski
and Pejcinovic were captured and died later in prison.
According to Hajriz, the journalists were killed in fighting
at Mount Ozran, in the region of Tuzla. He says Bosnian
government troops collected the bodies of the two
journalists, and he claims the bodies were treated according
to international human rights standards.
 
According to Hajriz, Turkish journalists Ali Kocak and
Munire Acim, detained by Bosnian Serb forces on 7 October,
were received by Bosnian government officials at Sarajevo
airport on 21 October. A United Nations Protection Force
(UNPROFOR) spokesperson and news sources confirm that the
bodies of Kolevski and Pejcinovic were exchanged for the
release of Kocak and Acim. Hajriz says the Turkish
journalists are in good health and that, while in captivity,
they suffered from the psychological torture of intense
interrogation, but were not physically tortured. According
to Hajriz, Kocak and Acim are now staying with friends and
continue to carry on their work as journalists.

          *Participant hCa conference Tuzla arrested*
 
[Thursday, 26-10-1995 -  Split]
 
Radovan Jovic was a participant from Belgrade at the 4th hCa
conference in Tuzla. He had been invited to the conference
personally by Peter Galbraith, the US Embassador. Together
with many others he arrived late at night/ Tuesday morning,
04.15 from Tuzla at the hotel Alga in Tucepi, Croatia where
all the participants were supposed to spend the night before
travelling further either to Zagreb, Prague, Budapest or
Belgrade. The following (Tuesday) morning (approximately
11.00) special police in civil (4 police men from "Service
for the Protection of the Constitutional Order") came to the
hotel to arrest him. As he was not able to walk, because of
a severe pain in the back/ spine which paralysed parts of
his body, the police transported him by ambulance around
12.00 o'clock. They stated they would take him first to a
hospital in Makarska and afterwards to a hospital in Split.
Attempts to locate him there failed.
 
At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon in Zagreb Mr.
Smiljan Reljic, assistant to the Minister of Internal
Affairs (Ivan Jarnjak) stated that on Monday, 23-10-1995,
criminal charges had been filed against 15 persons on
suspicion that they were spies for the intelligence of the
so-called "Serbian Republic of Krajina". They had been
captured in a joint action by the "Service for the
Protection of the Constitutional Order" of the Ministry of
Internal Affairs and the "Office for National Security". The
15th 'spy' had not been captured yet.
 
Radovan Jovic was one of the 14 captured. Radovan Jovic had
been captured 20 minutes before the beginning of the press
conference, stated Mr. Smiljan Reljic.
 
Mr. R. Jovic is currently in custody of the Military Court
of Zagreb.
 
*Additional information about Mr. Jovic*
 
Radovan Jovic (17.04.1951) worked as a judge at the
Municipal Court in Glina in the former so-called "Serbian
Republic of Krajina". After the "Maslenica-action" in
January 1993, during which the Croatian army retook a piece
of territory near Zadar, unofficial talks started between
Croatian government and Krajina Serb authority
representatives in Austria. Three of these meetings were
held in Vienna and Graz (twice). UN representatives were
present there as well. Mr. Jovic was one of the negotiators
from the Krajina Serb side. Mr. Jovic promoted a peaceful
resolution of the conflict between both sides. After one of
these meetings in 1994 the Knin authorities dismissed him as
a judge because of his position in the talks.
 
In 1994 he also attended a conference of intellectuals from
Croatia and Serbia organised by the Croatian magazine
"Erasmus". When he returned he found his house in Glina had
been mined. In March 1995 the Krajina Serb army decided to
mobilise him. He refused to go into the army and then he was
sent to prison. After an intervention of the US Ambassador,
Peter Galbraith and other international organisations the
Knin authorities had to set him free. In May 1995 he went on
a study trip to the US (organised by the US Embassy)
together with three Croatian human rights activists and upon
return he decided to go to Belgrade instead of back to
Glina. In Belgrade he now is a member of the Serbian
Helsinki Committee.
 
(PS Two local human rights activists seem to think he might
be a 'double' spy. No further info about this so far)

Dear Srdjan, thought it was good to send you this message as
well. Any  suggestions for action? Greetings, dave
 
 O T V O R E N E   O C I
 
Dear readers,
 
Radovan Jovic was a participant from Belgrade at the 4th
Assembly in
Tuzla. Together with many others he arrived late at night/
Tuesday
morning, 04.00 at the hotel Alga in Tucepi where all the
participants were
supposed to spend the night before travelling further either
to Zagreb,
Prague, Budapest or Beograd. The following (Tuesday) morning
the pain in
his spine, which he had felt for a few days already, got so
bad that he
could hardly move. Friends decided to call an ambulance,
which came
immediately to pick him up and bring him to the hospital.
 
Exactly what happened in the meantime is not known, but at
15.00, Tuesday
afternoon, during the Croatian radio news it was announced
that 14 Serb
spies had been arrested. Radovan Jovic was one of them.
 
At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon (24-10-1995) in
Zagreb Mr.
Smiljan Reljic, assistant to the Minister of Internal
Affairs (Ivan
Jarnjak) stated that on Monday, 23-10-1995, criminal charges
had been
filed against 15 persons on suspicion that they were spies
for the
intelligence of the so-called "Serbian Republic of Krajina".
One of the
persons had not been arrested yet. Radovan Jovic had been
captured 20
minutes before the beginning of the press conference, stated
Mr. Smiljan
Reljic.
 
Radovan Jovic (44) worked as a lawyer in Glina in the former
so-called
"Serbian Republic of Krajina". He had some problems with the
local
authorities and even was in prison for a month there. Now he
has been
arrested and is supposed to be in Split in the Military
Barracks.
According to a Split lawyer he was transported away from a
Split hospital
at 12.40 Tuesday afternoon.
 
As Mr. Radovan Jovic was a participant at the hCa conference
in Tuzla and
was returning from Tuzla with the hCa bus convoy I thought
it was
appropriate to inform you immediately about this event. My
suggestion is
that you undertake some action, but of course that is up to
you.
 
I will give you the phone number of Mr. Ivan Jarnjak,
Minister of Internal
Affairs: 385-1-6122129 and of Mr. Smiljan Reljic, Assistent
to the
Minister of Internal Affairs: 385-1-6122111
 
Yours sincerely,
Dave Bekkering
(participant of the 4th hCa conference in Tuzla)
