ZAGREB, Sept 17 (Hina) - The association of former members of special
police forces who fought in the Homeland War said on Friday it was
dissatisfied with the decision of the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague not
to grant provisional release to two Croatian generals, and with the behaviour
of the Croatian government which it said had refused to receive its
representatives."We cannot accept that the future of Croatian generals Mladen Markac and
Ivan Cermak, who voluntarily surrendered to the Hague tribunal, is linked to
the actions of a third person on whose behaviour they can have no influence,"
association leader Zeljko Sacic said at a press conference in Zagreb.
Last week, the tribunal rejected the motion for the provisional release
of the two generals, although it was supported by the prosecutors, because
fugitive general Ante Gotovina, who is charged with war crimes in the same case
as Markac and Cermak, is still at large.
