Branimir Glavas, who has been sentenced to 10 years in prison at the Zagreb County Court with an invalid verdict, is currently in Bosnia Herzegovina, writes Vecernji List.

It seems that Ivan Drmic, the former HDSSB (Croatian Democratic Parliament of Slavonia and Baranja) parliamentarian, brought Glavas to his village Grobovac near Tomislavgrad. Glavas allegedly previously took Bosnian citizenship with an address in Ljubuski. Glavas could be with his cousin, because his family is from that area.

However, Glavas is still formally free until the Croatian parliament brings a decision to remove his immunity, and after that the council of Zagreb County Court brings a decision to bring him into custody. Only after that, if the police are unable to find him and take him into custody, it can be said that he is in hiding.

Judge Zeljko Horvatic said that he removes any political connotations linked to the process, because the main discussion lasted a full 18 months and numerous pieces of evidence were presented.

“The evidence undisputedly confirmed that Branimir Glavas had a great and important role in the defence of Osijek from armed attacks, but that he also committed crimes” said the judge.
