ZAGREB, April 14 (Hina) - The head of the Croatian Judges'
Association, Vladimir Gredelj, on Saturday again accused the
government of having violated legal norms and deceived the U.N.
criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Croatian
public by serving an indictment against General Janko Bobetko on
his attorneys. #L#
Gredelj said in a statement that The Hague-based tribunal had not
requested the government to deliver the indictment on its own, but
to forward an order to that effect "to the competent bodies of
(judicial) authority, so it (the indictment) could be served on
General Bobetko".
"The government should not have delivered the indictment to General
Bobetko's attorneys on its own even if they had demanded it, because
they cannot change the law which regulates the serving of
indictments nor chose the body which should do it," Gredelj said in
the statement, adding that the ICTY suspended its warrant for
Bobetko's arrest believing that the indictment had been served on
him in a regular procedure.
