"Tomorrow we will meet representatives of the Croatian
government's office for cooperation with the Hague-based
tribunal," Olujic told Hina, adding his client had received an
informal invitation for tomorrow's interview.
The government said in a statement on Friday that on Thursday it
received from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia (ICTY) Prosecutor's Office a request for assistance in
organising interviews with two persons in their capacities as
suspects.
The government said it could not reveal the names of the two persons
before informing them and receiving their consent to reveal their
names in public.
According to unofficial reports by high-ranked sources close to the
government, Retired generals Mladen Korac and Ivan Korade are the
two latest suspects the prosecution of the UN war crimes tribunal at
The Hague wishes to interview.
