The doctors will draw up a report and submit it to the tribunal's
secretariat, which will forward it to judge Carmelo Agius, in
charge of the case, Landale told Hina in a telephone conversation.
In previous cases medical reports were submitted to the tribunal
between a week and three weeks from the examination.
Doctors A.J. van Lieshout and R. Tukkie of Amsterdam's university
hospital arrived in Zagreb to examine Bobetko on Wednesday. They
inspected his medical records and spoke with members of Bobetko's
team of doctors.
General Bobetko, who is accused by the tribunal of crimes committed
during operations in Medak Pocket, has been in hospital since mid-
November.
