Rijeka County Court

The Croatian Supreme Court said on Friday that it has overturned an earlier court decision acquitting Marko Carevic, the commander of the Territorial Defence forces of the self-declared wartime Serbian Autonomous Region of Krajina, of ordering the murder of an elderly Croatian man in the village of Kablar in October 1991.

The Croatian state attorney's office said on Monday that it has appealed against a recent first-instance ruling by the Zagreb Municipal Civil Court, which rejected a request from the state for convicted war criminal Mirko Norac and two of his co-perpetrators to pay the state the money that it has already given to their victims in compensation.
