Del Ponte attended a regional conference of prosecutors on issues relating to criminal prosecution of perpetrators of war crimes by national courts, held on the northern Croatian Adriatic archipelago of Brijuni on Thursday,
Sanader told reporters in Fazana that he and Del Ponte would talk about relations and Croatia's cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal at The Hague. He said he would reiterate that the Croatian Government would vouch for general Ante Gotovina should his defence attorneys request that he be provisionally released pending trial.
Speaking about Del Ponte's leaving the post of ICTY Chief Prosecutor, announced for December, Sanader said he did not know whether this was her outgoing visit to Croatia because, as he said " it looks like her term in office will be extended by another several months".
Addressing the participants in yesterday's regional conference Del Ponte underlined good results achieved in cooperation of prosecutor's offices of countries in the region with the ICTY.
