ZAGREB, Oct 26 (Hina) - The leader of the Croatian Christian
Democratic Party (HKDU), Anto Kovacevic, has said that the
indictment of the UN war crimes tribunal against General Janko
Bobetko was an indictment against the Croat people. #L#
"The Hague-based tribunal is a political tribunal and the general
should not accept the indictment," Kovacevic said after visiting
Bobetko at his home on Friday.
Kovacevic claims that the indictment lacks arguments and that it
charges the Croat people and state.
Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte must finally start respecting
Croatia as a democratic state, Kovacevic said, adding that the
indictment was unconstitutional.
The government should therefore behave more concretely and clearly
and consistently protect Croatia's national interests and
sovereignty, he said.
The HKDU leader believes Croatia will not be exposed to sanctions
because Del Ponte and part of the international community wanted
the ruling coalition to stay in power.
