Mrksic, Radic and Sljivancanin, also known as the Vukovar Three, are accused of the killing of 250 people from Vukovar, eastern Croatia in the early 1990s.
"I welcome the chief prosecutor's decision because the gravity of the crimes warrants that they be tried before the Hague tribunal," the minister told the press after a news conference by her party, the Democratic Centre.
Skare-Ozbolt added it was good that the chief prosecutor had withdrawn her proposal from February, when she asked that the trial be held either in Croatia, where the crime was committed, or in Serbia, where 17 persons accused of the same crime are already on trial.
The minister also said she expected the UN court to decide soon about referring the Norac-Ademi case to Croatia.
Speaking of the child abuse case in a children's home in Brezovica and media allegations that it is impossible to press charges against two suspects because of the statute of limitations, Skare-Ozbolt said the chief state prosecutor was conducting the case with determination and that all the perpetrators must be punished.
"The State Prosecutor's Office should establish who actively committed criminal acts and who committed an oversight because a criminal act can also be committed through an oversight," said the minister.
