Hague war crimes tribunal, Croatia has done everything necessary in terms of organisation given that the indictees hold Croatian citizenship, but that it should not get involved any further in the proceedings.

"Those are members of a foreign army and Croatia should not get
involved in that any further," Pusic said at an electoral assembly of
the party's Istria branch on Saturday.
She categorically opposed the initiative to have the parliament debate
the latest indictments, saying that the indictments "refer to members
of another country's army".
Pusic said she believed the indictments would not affect Croatia's
integration into the EU.
Asked about possible cooperation and a coalition with the Liberal
Party and Libra, Pusic said the three parties had held talks and that
it was realistic to expect a coalition at the next local elections.
