tribunal to Croatia. #L#
Racan told reporters new indictments could be expected, and
recalled the words of the tribunal's chief prosecutor, Carla Del
Ponte, that indictments must be issued by the end of 2004.
He was reserved in his comment on writings in the media, according
to which the government was allegedly requested to make a list of
people whom the EU wants to bar from entering EU countries because
they are allegedly harbouring indictees.
Racan reiterated the government's stand that covering up a crime or
harbouring war crimes indictees were felonies.
