I added an NPOV tag because the article doesn't seem particularly neutral. The following text, for example, makes specific crticisms but lacks sources:

The articles bore a familiar pattern. Croatian war veterans were liberally denounced as drunkards, war profiteers, arms fixers and drug barons. Some verged on the farcical. Unidentified senior officers of the Croatian Ministry of Defence were accused of arms dealing with the IRA and ETA. This was clearly intended to signify General Gotovina whom Pukanic had previously accused as being the chief collaborator in an alleged presidential coup. The allegations were later discovered to have been fabricated in order to boost Nacional’s sales.

Could you please post the following links appoprately. Thanks. Mark P.

“The weekly is owned by journalists, but the majority shareholder is Ivo Pukanic. Today Nacional has a circulation of around 35,000 copies. It is lower now than it was in the late 90s when all political weeklies in Croatia experienced a fall in circulations following the appearance of Jutarnji list. On the infrastructure of just only weekly, at the end of 2000 Pukanic launched the daily Republika, but it was shut down after just six months. Republika had been founded by a loan from Hypo Bank, which is today being paid back by Nacional. This partly influences its editorial policy. The paper has too many advertising items, i.e. articles which is hard to know if they are journalists’ items or advertising reportages.”

“As to Nacional, it sympathises with Gotovina although General’s supporters accuse the editor, Ivo Pukanic of fake compassion and political opportunism. Between 1999 and 2001, Nacional launched a series of violent attacks against Gotovina.”

“Gotovina was also accused of plotting a military coup by the editor of Croatian weekly Nacional, Ivo Pukanic. His name was crossed out of military staff.”

The bibliography of the above report, prepared for the US Library of Congress, contains reference to a Nacional article entitled ‘MORH protects arms dealers who smuggle weapons to ETA and the IRA’ dated 24th July 2002 which is used in the article. MORH is the Croatian ministry of defence, of which General Gotovina was Chief Inspectorate.
