ICTY prosecutors have no intention to add war crimes in Croatia to Mladic indictment

THE HAGUE, June 1 (Hina) - The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Serge Brammertz, has said that his office is not planning to expand the indictment against Ratko Mladic, who is charged for genocide in Bosnia, to include crimes the troops under his command had committed in Croatia, including atrocities in Skabrnja in November 1991.

My office has no such intention, Brammertz said on Wednesday when answering questions at a news conference whether the prosecutors in the Mladic case would amend the indictment so as to include the responsibility of Mladic, a former high-ranking officer of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), for war crimes in Croatia, notably the Skabrnja massacre.

Brammertz convened the news conference in The Hague today after Serbia extradited Mladic to the ICTY.

The chief prosecutor welcomed Mladic's arrest, after he had evaded justice for 16 years, as a big step for international justice, adding that the forthcoming trial must meet the expectations.

Brammertz praised Serbia's President Boris Tadic and state authorities for capturing Mladic on 26 May.

ICTY Registrar John Hocking said that Mladic was very co-operative in the process of his transfer to the Hague-based tribunal after his arrival in the Netherlands.
