Since there has been no reaction so far to the Ombudswoman's letter to the competent institutions (to State's Attorney Office, Speaker of the Croatian Parliament, Chairpersons of the Committee on the Constitution, Standing Orders and Political System, the Committee on Human and National Minority Rights and the Domestic Policy and National Security Committee) regarding her request to conduct appropriate, efficient and independent investigation of the alleged illegal police treatment of migrants, which was received in a complaint by an anonymous policeman, in order to establish whether it was grounded, Ombudswoman Lora Vidović has today informed the public as the last resort stipulated by the Art 19 of the Ombudsman Law.
