Serbian deputy war crimes prosecutor Bruno Vekaric told press on Sunday there was no indictment against the head of the Vukovar general hospital, Dr Vesna Bosanac.

"We only asked the Croatian State Prosecutor's Office to take a statement of a witness so that old military cases could be re-examined and closed," Vekaric said, adding that information about the indictment against Dr Bosanac was not true.

Vukaric said the Serbian prosecutor's office no longer wanted to comment on incorrect information placed by the media in Croatia

"We do not wish to take part in various speculations and every time react to sometime that is not true," Vekaric said adding that the Serbian prosecutor's office also did not wish to speculate in whose interest it is to place such information and why.

Earlier today Dr Bosanac told press that police contacted her ten days ago in connection with the alleged war crimes she is suspected of.

"The police came to me and interviewed about malpractice, mine and Dr Juraj Njavro's, the Vukovar hospital in 1991," Bosanac said adding that also discussed was the death of Serbian soldier Bojan Gacic, known from the case "Purda-Janjic-Maslov".

"I also talked to the police about the death of a Serbian soldier, whose last name was Nestorov and who died in the shelter in Borovo Commerce and couldn't have been transported to the hospital because the Yugoslav People's Army came to Priljevo and cut off all communication between Vukovar and Borovo Naselje," Bosanac said.

Bosanac stressed that the entire war time hospital staff did their best to tend to the injured patients in the then circumstances, dismissing all accusations about malpractice.

Spokesman for the Croatian Interior Ministry Krunoslav Borovec told media that police had interviewed Dr Bosanac in connection with criminal charges from Serbia about alleged war crimes.
