ZAGREB, Feb 25 (Hina) - Asked by Croatian Party of Rights deputy
Miroslav Rozic on Wednesday if the government had revoked the Interior
Ministry's reward for information on the whereabouts of Ante Gotovina,
Prime Minister Ivo Sanader said it had not.#L#
"We have not revoked the reward, we will consider that issue. It is
our obligation to continue cooperating with the International Criminal
Tribunal in The Hague and all Croatian citizens must respect the
Constitutional Law on Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal," Sanader
said during question time in parliament.
In May last year, the then Interior Minister Sime Lucin offered a
reward of 350,000 kuna (approx. EUR46,000) for information leading to
the arrest of Ante Gotovina, an indictee of the U.N. war crimes
tribunal who has been on the run since 2001. Lucin made the decision
in line with Article 52 of the Police Law.
Interior Minister Marijan Mlinaric said during question time that the
ministry would re-establish, in line with its financial potential,
some of the police stations which had been closed down by Lucin.
