BRUSSELS, March 2 (Hina) - The President of the European Parliament, Josep Borell Fontelles, said in Brussels on Wednesday after talks with Croatian President Stjepan Mesic that he advocated that Croatia's negotiations with the European Union start on 17 March.

Borell Fontelles said Croatia's negotiations would be one of the topics of Thursday's conference of the presidents of the benches in the European Parliament. He added that he would inform the officials in the European Parliament of information he received from Mesic referring to Croatia's cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Reiterating that Croatia is fully cooperating with the ICTY, Mesic proposed that the negotiations be launched according to the schedule.

"I suggest that we open the negotiations, and institutions should do their job," said Mesic and added that an unnecessary campaign about General Ante Gotovina was created in the media, notably the European media.

"Five Croatian generals, who had a more important role in Croatia's defence than Gotovina, surrendered to the tribunal voluntarily. I see no reason why we would protect one person. The only answer is that Gotovina is not in Croatia," Mesic said.

Later today, the Croatian president is scheduled to meet the EU High Commissioner for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier Solana.
