Polish Accusations Against Two Embassy Officers
A. Polish foreign ministry official called on our embassy
in Warsaw last Friday to protest the actions of two embassy
officials. The Pole claimed that the two had tried to assist
East Germans to get to West Germany and produced photostats of
papers to back his allegations. An embassy investigation left
no doubt that the charges were complete fabrications. The
DCM intends to return the visit today, make an oral rejection
of the protest, and express surprise that such groundless charges
should have been made.
Embassy personnel can suggest no Polish motivation for making
such obviously trumped-up charges. Perhaps the entire scenario
may have been planned by the security forces as a reminder to us
that, despite improving relations between Poland and both the US
and West Germany, US personnel will continue to be watched close-
ly.
Yugoslav Goes on Trial for Ustashi Ties
Twenty-five year old Midhat Mujanovic went on trial in Tuzla,
Bosnia-Hercegovina on Monday for alleged ties to anti-communist
Croat separatists in West Berlin. The indictment accuses
Mujanovic of working for the late emigre ustashi leader,
Dr. Branko Jelic.
The defense has entered a plea of not guilty. Mujanovic, however
admits he did visit Dr. Jelic's office once, but denies distri-
buting Croatian nationalist propaganda. He claims the pamphlets
were planted on him. After the first day's proceedings the trial
temporarily adjourned, apparently in order to allow the defense
time to study damaging testimony from the prosecution's chief
