president of the Italian parliament's House of Representatives,
Pier Ferdinando Casini, the reasons for which Croatia was refusing
to accept an indictment issued by the international war crimes
tribunal against Croatian retired General Janko Bobetko. #L#
Tomcic said Croatia wished to explain incorrect facts in the
indictment to its European partners, particularly because the
self-proclaimed Serb Autonomous Province in Croatia was treated as
a legally and internationally recognised factor, which diminished
the value of decisions on Croatia's sovereignty.
The Croatian delegation confirmed to their Vatican's and Italian
interlocutors that Croatia wished to cooperate with the tribunal,
Tomcic said. He added, however, that Croatia could not accept parts
of the indictment which attack both the Croatian Constitution and
various international agreements.
