"That's absolutely not true. He may have been in touch with Gotovina
but it is not true that Carla Del Ponte contacted Gotovina through
him," Florence Hartmann told Hina over the phone from Belgrade,
where Del Ponte is on a working visit.
Pukanic, who interviewed Gotovina a few months ago, told reporters
after being interviewed by police in Zagreb today that the U.N.
tribunal contacted Gotovina through him.
