The tribunal is now expected to issue an indictment in which Dzanko
may or may not be mentioned, the general's lawyer, Nenad Boban, told
reporters after his client ended the interview in Zagreb.
According to Boban, the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is not expected to notify the retired
general about his status.
"There are two possibilities: either an indictment will be issued
covering General Dzanko, or there will be an indictment against
others, but not him," Boban said.
On Thursday, after the first day of the interview, he said the talks
concentrated on war operations "on the southern front in a broader
sense".
On Friday evening, the general said that ICTY investigators had
been interested in his role in Bosnia-Herzegovina, namely in
Herzegovina.
"A very sensitive area, tricky times," Dzanko commented.
He declined to give any more details from the questioning, but said
that during the war he had been responsible towards others and also
towards himself. He added that in the time of war he had taken care
of himself in order to be able to account for his actions in the
future.
Dzanko said he was optimistic, adding that he and his lawyer "hope
they have done a good job".
Boban said on Thursday night that the talks between his client,
suspected of violating humanitarian law, and the tribunal's
investigators, focused on the general's role at the start of the
Homeland War in the early 1990s.
