"Martin \u0160pegelj (11 November 1927 \u2013 11 May 2014) was the second Defense Minister of Croatia and, later, the chief of staff of the newborn Croatian army and inspector-general of the army. His efforts to organize and equip the army from scratch were seen as instrumental in helping Croatia survive the first year of the Croatian War of Independence. Partly due to disagreements with president Franjo Tu\u0111man, he retired in 1992, after the war froze with the permanent ceasefire at the end of 1991."@en . . . "Spegelj, Martin"@en . . .
