NALETILIC'S ATTORNEY: CONSTITUT. COMPLAINT IN CASE OF EXTRADITION

ZAGREB, Oct 15 (Hina) - If the Supreme Court decides to extradite Mladen Naletilic Tuta to The Hague Tribunal, we will file a complaint with the Constitutional Court which can prevent the extradition, Naletilic's attorney Kresimir Krsnik said after Friday's session of the Croatian Supreme Court. Krsnik told the press the Croatian public had been deceived by announcements of sanctions in case war crimes suspect Naletilic was not extradited to The Hague Tribunal. The international community, said the attorney, "showed how hypocritical it is by giving Croatia a five-day ultimatum to extradite Naletilic, despite the fact that it must respect the Constitutional Law on Croatia's cooperation with The Hague Tribunal, which it had okayed." Krsnik reiterated that The Hague Tribunal's "disastrous indictment" against his client was too general. The indictment mentions the Croatian army and government in more than 20 places, which, he said, was fully contrary to the Croatian Constitution and the Constitutional Law on cooperation with the tribunal. Naletilic's attorney said his client's condition had stabilised after hospitalisation yesterday due to heart trouble. If Naletilic's condition deteriorated, Krsnik said he would request that his client be supervised by an international team of doctors. (hina) ha jn
