ZAGREB, Aug 22 (Hina) - I am standing behind what I have said - that during my talks with the Hague-based Tribunal's chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte no mention was made of General Petar Stipetic, Croatian Premier Ivica Racan told
reporters on Tuesday. Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS) President Drazen Budisa was not wrong either, Racan said explaining that during unofficial conversations in various contexts the name of General Stipetic was mentioned. But his name was not mentioned as of somebody against whom an investigation was launched or as of a possible indictee, the PM said. He added that leaders of six parties that constitute the ruling coalition, agreed during their meeting on Tuesday that the exacerbation of this problem and attempts to provoke a conflict with the ICTY (the International War Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia) would be of no use to Croatia.(hina) ms
