Summary: The latest developments in Zagreb, where Battistelli's 'bulldog' faces many criminal charges for the chaos he had caused (resulting//culminating even in suicide)

New documents from Croatia have begun reaching us and sources in Zagreb suggest some big things are about to happen (we mentioned or alluded to these before).

A copy of a "Special Report" dated the 28^th April 2016 (i.e. one month ago) from the Zagreb Police Authority is shown above (plus translation at the bottom). Quoting our source: "This document indicates that the police have already compiled around five investigation reports in response to a number of complaints against Željko Topić," who now viciously attacks EPO staff. He's like Battistelli's 'bulldog' and rumours suggest that Battistelli will soon ask for extension of his term. Reports (police investigations) already compiled include (but may not be limited to):

• 24th of June 2013



• 13th of November 2013



• 18th of November 2013



• 22nd of November 2013



• 24th of June 2014

"It seems that there was no follow-up on these police reports by the State Attorney's Office," our source told us. "It is suspected that this was due to some kind of political interference during the Presidency of Ivo Josipovic who was voted out of office in January 2015.

"The justice system in Croatia now seems to be slowly gathering momentum so there could be some interesting developments on this front over the coming weeks."

Some other sources of ours (in Zagreb) suggest so as well. Below is the full English translation. ⬆
