ZAGREB, July 27 (Hina) - The Monday statement by a Hague Tribunal prosecutor in the trial of Tihomir Blaskic is the application of the principle of opportunism because criminal responsibility has become politicised, the president of
the Action of Social Democrats of Croatia (ASH), Silvije Degen, told reporters on Tuesday. Degen also warned the same principle had been applied in Croatia as well. Had we processed our war crimes suspects, instead of Bosnian citizens, the stand of the international community toward Croatia would be completely different, Degen said.

ZAGREB, July 27 (Hina) - The Monday statement by a Hague Tribunal
prosecutor in the trial of Tihomir Blaskic is the application of the
principle of opportunism because criminal responsibility has
become politicised, the president of the Action of Social Democrats
of Croatia (ASH), Silvije Degen, told reporters on Tuesday.
Degen also warned the same principle had been applied in Croatia as
well. Had we processed our war crimes suspects, instead of Bosnian
citizens, the stand of the international community toward Croatia
would be completely different, Degen said.
Speaking at a separate news conference, Liberal Party (LS) main
secretary Bozo Kovacevic said previous court decisions on the
international character of the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina had
determined the direction of other trials.
The Croatian Peasants' Party (HSS) condemns yesterday's attempt by
The Hague Tribunal prosecution to identify individuals who
committed crimes in the Bosnian war with the Croatian people, HSS
main secretary Stanko Grcic told a new conference.
