BRUSSELS/ZAGREB, Oct 3 (Hina) - ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla del
Ponte and EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and
Security Policy Javier Solana on Thursday called upon the Croatian
government to extradite General Janko Bobetko to the Hague-based
war crimes tribunal. #L#
Croatia will presumably fulfil its international obligations. If
indictee Bobetko is not healthy, that is if his health condition
prevents his arrest and transfer to the detention centre, the ICTY
is ready to consider his health condition and accept a temporary
release, del Ponte said after the talks with Solana.
She said General Bobetko was indicted and he must go to The Hague.
The Chief Prosecutor said all other decisions regarding Bobetko
would be made by judges.
Spokeswoman for the ICTY Prosecutor Florence Hartmann told Hina on
Wednesday that this was a regular meeting of the two officials, and
added that cooperation with Croatia would be one of the main topics
of the talks.
