TUDJMAN RECEIVES COUNCIL FOR COOPERATION WITH ICTY, ICJ DELEGATION

ZAGREB, Sept 10 (Hina) - Croatian President Franjo Tudjman on Friday received a delegation of the Council for Cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which included Justice Minister Zvonimir Separovic, Vice Premiers Ljerka Mintas Hodak and Mate Granic, and Defence Minister Pavao Miljavac, the President's Office said in statement. #L# The delegation handed President Tudjman a White Book containing documents proving that Croatia has cooperated with the ICTY since the Tribunal was established, as well as documents which Croatia presented to the U.N. Security Council and a commission of U.N. experts in line with the U.N. Security Council resolutions of 1992. The book contains evidence which dismisses claims on Croatia's non- cooperation with the ICTY, as well as the claim that criminal acts committed on the fringes of Croatia's operations aimed at liberating its territory have not been processed. According to the book, there is a disproportion between the number of indictments issued against Croats and those issued against crimes committed against Croat population and for which there are documents and irrefutable evidence which were submitted to the ICTY. Present at the meeting with the President were also Presidential Chief-of-Staff Ivica Kostovic and the President's advisor on internal policy, Ivic Pasalic. (hina) rml
