"The defence of General Gotovina, his family, and we are convinced that this is also the view of the general himself, most vehemently condemn any violent action, including the terrorist attack on the British Embassy," the lawyers said in a statement.
"Such actions have not been and cannot be planned or carried out in the name of General Gotovina or injustices that have been done to him," the statement added.
A letter bomb exploded in the embassy's post room on Monday morning, slightly injuring a a member of the embassy staff.
The lawyers warned that radical actions against foreign embassies were primarily harmful to Gotovina, and that "the aim of those implicating General Gotovina in today's terrorist attack is to vilify the general in the eyes of the Croatian people and the international community."
The lawyers also expressed conviction that Gotovina "will soon be acquitted of false charges (by the Hague war crimes tribunal) which are based on falsified documents and false statements" and called on all people wishing to help their client "to focus on establishing the truth, because only the truth can bring General Gotovina a peaceful life with his family."
Gotovina has been on the run since the end of June 2001 when the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) indicted him for crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and customs of war committed against Serb civilians in the general area of the town of Knin during and in the wake of the Croatian military operation "Storm" in the summer of 1995.
