CARLA DEL PONTE ARRIVES IN BELGRADE

BELGRADE, April 18 (Hina) - The chief prosecutor with the Hague war crimes tribunal, Carla del Ponte, arrived in Belgrade on Thursday to meet representatives of Yugoslav and Serbian authorities. #L# The Yugoslav government yesterday called on 23 war crimes indictees to surrender to the UN tribunal. Ten are Yugoslav citizens and the others Bosnian or Croatian. Yugoslav Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic told B92 radio today that did not mean that most of the accused were in Yugoslavia, but that it was assumed they had more confidence in guarantees which the Yugoslav government would offer them. "I don't believe the persons on that list are even in our country and available to our judicial bodies. I think the most important thing is for all whose names are on the list to finally end up at The Hague. Sooner or later, they will be there," Svilanovic said ahead of meeting del Ponte. (hina) ha sb
