storm - Hrvatski memorijalno-dokumentacijski centar Domovinskog ...

18 July I reported to general Mrkšić in the advance command post of the SVK General
Staff in Slunj. Before the report he asked me whether Aco Dimitrijević had called me
about the convoy. When I answered that he had not, the general said he would certainly
call because someone had blown the deal in Belgrade and misinterpreted it.
Th e conclusion is clear. Th e ultimate goal of this convoy and of many others so far has
been material gain of certain individuals, including undoubtedly the SVK commander
General M. Mrkšić. General Mrkšić is closely related to colonel M. Zimonja and he has
allegedly brought Zimonja, through colonel Krga 56 , head of the Intelligence Directorate,
to form the Intelligence Centre in Kordun (everybody is asking now why Kordun and
Topusko were chosen), which is a cover for his organizing and personally managing
illicit trade of goods with the (ARBiH) 5 th Corps. As far as the security bodies of the SVK
General Staff are aware - and lieutenant colonel Mihajlo Knežević can say much more
about the subject - the Centre in question has not by any means justifi ed its existence.
Some people think (this is a reliable piece of information) that Mrkšić promised Krga he
would bring him to the RSK and make him a general, a rank Krga could not get in the
SRJ because he comes from this region and had no combat experience.
On 21 July 1995 colonel Zimonja and lieutenant Krković left the RSK and returned to
the VJ.
We are forwarding this information in order to brief you and for your operational use.
We urge you to pay due attention to the confi dential character of this letter considering
the high offi cials involved and their illicit dealings.
