PARTY REACTIONS TO ICTY APPEALS CHAMBER'S DECISION - 2

ZAGREB, Nov 29 (Hina) - A vice-president of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), Jadranka Kosor, has stated that the ICTY Appeals Chamber's decision to reject the Croatian government's appeals to the indictment against and the warrant for the arrest of General Janko Bobetko was disappointing and the party would decide on measures it intended to take as part of the Opposition at a session of its National Committee on Saturday.
ZAGREB, Nov 29 (Hina) - A vice-president of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), Jadranka Kosor, has stated that the ICTY Appeals Chamber's decision to reject the Croatian government's appeals to the indictment against and the warrant for the arrest of General Janko Bobetko was disappointing and the party would decide on measures it intended to take as part of the Opposition at a session of its National Committee on Saturday. #L# Kosor repeated that claims in the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY) indictments against Croatian generals were unfounded because they revised Croatia's recent history and the Homeland War. Croatian Bloc leader Ivic Pasalic believes a mistake was made back in early 2000 when the parliamentary majority adopted a decision confirming the ICTY's jurisdiction over the Storm and Flash operations even though legal proceedings challenging the Tribunal's jurisdiction had already been underway, having been initiated by the former government, which claimed that the operations were legitimate anti-terrorist actions of a sovereign state and as such and in keeping with international protocols did not fall under the ICTY's jurisdiction. Libra whip Ivo Skrabalo said the government had exhausted all legal means at its disposal and that following the decision of the Appeals Chamber proceedings needed to be continued in keeping with the ICTY statute, Croatian legislation and the constitutional law on co- operation with the ICTY. The chairman of the parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee and member of the Social Democratic Party's (SDP) Main Committee, Zdravko Tomac, deeply believes that most ICTY indictments against Croatian generals have no legal basis but are politically motivated. "I still believe that we are right when we say that "Storm" and other operations were aimed at liberating the country from the occupying forces and that their purpose was not genocide or ethnic cleansing," Tomac added. Croatian Peasants' Party (HSS) whip Luka Trconic stated that Croatia needed to undertake serious measures through the UN Security Council to caution about the ICTY's practice of replacing legal facts and individual responsibility with politics and judgements. The spokesman for the Croatian People's Party (HNS), Boris Blazekovic, said that the Appeal Chamber's decision at the moment seemed irrelevant because the government had already forwarded the indictment against Bobetko to the Zagreb County Court, while a medical team had established that Bobetko was unfit for trial due to his poor condition. Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS) leader Drazen Budisa made a brief statement expressing regret about the Chamber's decision. (hina) sp rml sb
