The events in the Croatian Lora camp, where 14 members of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) from the so-called Nikšić-Šavnik group were killed during the 90s, will be one of the questions the Prime Minister will answer in the Parliament tomorrow. Milojko Spajic.
"In your opinion and that of the Government, were war crimes committed against Montenegrins and Serbs in the Croatian Lora camp?" is the question posed by the MP and leader of the Democratic People's Party Milan Knežević.
The issue of the Lora camp became topical after ''Vijesti'' published an interview with the Croatian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Gordan Grlić Radman, who said that "there is no such thing as a Lora camp and there never was" and that it was not an open question, but rather "a narrative that aims to equate aggressor and victim."
"Everything about the events in the 'Lora' prison has been processed and adjudicated, and is within the domain of judicial proceedings, which is neither possible nor necessary to comment on," said Grlić Radman.
According to the Montenegrin Association of War Veterans, 1990 members of the former JNA from the so-called Nikšić-Šavnik group, who were captured on the Herzegovina battlefield in 14, were killed in “Lora” since 1992. The Split County State Prosecutor’s Office launched an investigation into the murder of a group of prisoners, members of the aforementioned group, at the end of 2011, but the case has not yet reached a conclusion in court. The Montenegrin State Prosecutor’s Office handed over extensive documentation related to the case to Croatia more than a decade ago.
Spajić's office told ''Vijesti'' that Montenegro wants justice for all victims and is ready to persevere to the end in prosecuting crimes and compensating victims in accordance with international law.
"It is clear that if there are testimonies about 'Lora', we cannot say that this prison did not exist, nor ignore the testimonies about Montenegrin citizens who were imprisoned and killed there, and these cases were never processed. Montenegro expects the competent institutions to resolve these issues in mutual cooperation. In this regard, we encourage the Croatian and our state prosecutor's offices to cooperate even closer so that all perpetrators of criminal acts are processed and justice is served for all," they said.
