There are several important things that the article doesn't mention:
- the Yugoslav People's Army colonel who first interviewed Djordje later admitted that he was forced to do it, and was punished for that;
- a London doctor, Peter Holly, operated Djordje and confirmed that he could not self-inflict the injury, and was later threatened for that;
- Stane Dolanc's comment which appears to have caused quite an uproar;
- Director Milorad Bajic filmed a documentary about the event which was forbidden;
- Djordje was legally exhonerated later, and the country was ordered to pay him 100,000 DEM which was never done;
- probably more.

- This book says that it is all false: http://books.google.com/books?id=yWgjmGAoOZgC&pg=PT114&lpg=PT114&dq=djordje+martinovic&source=web&ots=5rRzWGhkce&sig=zmeVRJuWUTpJhHmH_Vkt6JgH14Q&hl=en
- Moreover, "The late former Yugoslav Interior Minister Stane Dolanc, who was Slovenian, told Ljubljana Television that police investigations showed that Martinovic's account of his injuries was a fabrication. Dolanc added: "Martinovic is the first Serbian samurai who committed hara-kiri."

To user 70.110.182.212
- - That book has literally one sentence saying that. And it is quite biased, pretensions and not reliable source related to this case. You have claim of 6 doctors from all former republics stating that it was not possible to be self inflicted injury.
- - Stane Dolanc'S agenda at the time was to break up the Yugoslavia. All his comments are not based on scientific facts, but on to the political agenda ha has nourished

- In conclusion, your activity is malicious and used to spread propaganda and fake news --Pixius talk 21:49, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Page name edit
Can we move this to the cannonical spelling, Đorđe Martinović? Duja► 14:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Linux users with some keyboard layouts should be able to type that as altgr+f 'đ' and altgr+shift+d 'Ð'. - Francis Tyers · 20:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

low quality, unsourced paragraph edit
"While Martinović was in the hospital the tension between nationalities were rising, and an Albanian from a village of Kamenica's municipality called "Hodonoc" went to visit him at the hospital, and put a recorder under his bed without him noticing, when he left his wife entered the room, and Martinović told her the truth, how the Serbian police made him accuse the Albanians for assault, not knowing he was being recorded, and that's how the truth got out. There is even an analyst called "Fadil Kajtazi" that wrote about this event."
