ZAGREB, July 13 (Hina) - Shortly before 5 pm on Friday the Croatian
parliament started a closed-door session on Croatia's relations
with the Hague war crimes tribunal, prompted by two sealed
indictments against two Croatian citizens.
The start of the session was postponed three times during the day.
Prime Minister Ivica Racan and his closest associates are attending
the session.
The session on relations with the Hague tribunal was requested by
the parliamentary bench of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ),
which demanded that Racan inform the parliament if the Hague
indictments contained unacceptable political assessments.
The debate on Croatia-Hague relations has aroused significant
interest among parliamentary deputies and the start of the session
will most certainly be marked by the information that the
government has suspended the procedure of hand-over of General
Rahim Ademi to the Hague tribunal because he expressed a wish to be
enabled to go to The Hague of his own accord.
