Del Ponte arrived in Zagreb unexpectedly from Kosovo to express
gratitude to the Croatian President for a very good cooperation and
discuss with him an investigation which is being conducted in
Dubrovnik, the details of which she did not want to reveal.
Asked to comment on a statement by her deputy Graham Blewitt, who
last week told the Sarajevo media that Croatia was still not fully
cooperating, del Ponte said that until a month ago there had been
some technical problems, which were solved and the ICTY was
currently very satisfied with the cooperation.
After she returns to The Hague, the Chief Prosecutor will request
the ICTY President to inform the U.N. Security Council that Zagreb
is fully cooperating with the Prosecution and thus withdraw a
report on Croatia's non-cooperation the Prosecution submitted to
the Security Council during the mandate of Croatia's old
government.
Del Ponte will tonight leave for Dubrovnik, where she will hold
talks with Justice Minister Stjepan Ivanisevic.
