AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE,
SOFIA: Macedonian armed forces chief of staff Miroslav Stojanovski, who is suspected of having committed war crimes in Croatia, said Monday in Sofia that he would not resign.
“I will not resign because I did not violate professional ethics,” General Stojanovski said at a press conference.
Croatian prosecutors said Friday they were investigating Stojanovski for alleged war crimes in Vukovar in eastern Croatia in Croatia's war of independence from the former Yugoslavia.
The general was then an officer in the Yugoslav army.
Former Croatian prisoners from that war accuse Stojanovski of having commanded a military police unit which in November 1991 arrested in Vukovar a dozen Croatian soldiers, who then disappeared and are still reported missing.
