ZAGREB, March 27 (Hina) - New Hague tribunal indictments for war crimes committed on Croatian territory should not be expected before the autumn, a senior Croatian government official said on Wednesday on condition of anonymity.#L# The tribunal's prosecution is investigating crimes committed during the Pocket of Medak and Storm operations. The government source said that recent media speculation about new indictments against former civil and military officials were related to March 31, the deadline Washington has given Belgrade to meet commitments to the Hague tribunal as a prerequisite for the resumption of U.S. assistance. Asked if chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte had expressed willingness to change the indictment against Gen. Ante Gotovina, who is at large, the source said it was possible, but that she made it conditional on Gotovina's surrender or extradition. Croatia maintains the Gotovina indictment was forced to coincide with the extradition of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, in order to create the impression that all former Yugoslav sides were being treated equally, the government source said, but added the prosecution was aware that some points from the indictment did not hold water. Gotovina's attorney Luka Misetic told national television on Tuesday evening the chief prosecutor had an "ethical duty" to re- examine the indictment and withdraw it as unfounded. The government plans to appoint in the autumn a person who will be in charge of cooperating with the Hague tribunal on evidence pertaining to the Croatian part of the Milosevic trial, the source concluded.
