ICTY STILL UNDECIDED WHETHER TO RELEASE FINDINGS ON TUTA'S HEALTH

ZAGREB, Nov 2 (Hina) - The Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has not decided yet whether to release the findings of medical experts who today should check the condition of Croatian war crimes suspect Mladen Naletilic Tuta in Zagreb, ICTY spokesman Jim Landale said on Tuesday. The Dutch doctors - a cardiologist and a general practitioner - will evaluate Naletilic's condition and whether he is capable of travelling to The Hague, and forward their findings to the tribunal's secretariat. Landale said the two Dutch experts would not speak to the press in Zagreb. He was unable to say whether it had been checked previously whether Naletilic would consent to be checked by foreign doctors. The ICTY a year ago charged Naletilic with crimes committed in the Mostar area, southern Bosnia, during the Croat-Muslim war. The tribunal requested his extradition from Croatia, where Naletilic is undergoing trial. Croatia has granted the request, but Naletilic has not been extradited due to a deteriorating health condition. Two weeks ago Naletilic was transferred from prison to a hospital where he underwent surgery which dilated his heart arteries. (hina) ha jn
