"We are nearly completing administrative problems," Kastratovic
told Hina in a telephone conversation from Belgrade. He is to travel
to The Hague with Martic.
He explained that, among else, the issues of travel documents and
visas still had to be settled, and Martic leaving for the
international war crimes tribunal was not expected before
Tuesday.
Martic has been indicted for violations of the rights and customs of
war by shelling Zagreb in 1995.
Hague chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte said on Wednesday, during
her visit to Vukovar, that Martic's indictment would soon be
expanded.
The DPA agency, citing Belgrade's Tanjug news agency, said that
Yugoslav Interior Minister Zoran Zivkovic had announced Martic had
on Wednesday become a Yugoslav citizen, and a passport would be
issued to him.
