SPLIT, Jan 29 (Hina) - The Hague-based UN war crimes court will process between 200 and 250 persons accused of war crimes committed in the area of the former Yugoslavia, whereas it is up to national judiciaries to deal with the rest
of war crimes suspects, said the head of the ICTY office in Zagreb. The national judiciary did not need any approval from the ICTY for processing war crimes, except when the ICTY says that it is going to take over the case. The Tribunal has the precedence over national courts, said Matijas Hellman, the head of the Zagreb office of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at a round table in the coastal city of Split on Tuesday.(hina) sb ms
