ZAGREB, Rabi'II 19, 1437, January 29, 2016, SPA -- Croatia's minister for war veterans, Mijo Crnoja, resigned on Thursday just six days after he was sworn in as part of a new government, following media reports that he had registered himself at a non-existent address in an area with low taxes, according to Reuters. Crnoja said he had done nothing wrong and simply registered at a location where he intended to build a house in the future. But he said he had stepped down because "I don't want to be a burden to the government". The veteran of Croatia's 1991-95 war was also lambasted in the press for proposing a "registry of national traitors" that would list people accused of acting against national interests during and after the conflict. --SPA 02:19 LOCAL TIME 23:19 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
