Mesic said he advocated that all activities regarding the Iraqi
crisis should take place under the auspices of the U.N. and be in the
interest of world peace.
Although it has submitted an application for EU membership, Croatia
will continue to be evaluated by the quality of the rule of law, the
pace of refugee return etc., Mesic said. He said that the U.N. war
crimes tribunal in The Hague would be less interested in cases from
Croatia if they were prosecuted by domestic courts.
