ZAGREB, Aug 31 (Hina) - US envoy for war crimes issues, David
Shaeffer, on Monday hailed Croatia's cooperation with the
international war crimes tribunal.
During talks with Croatian President's Chief-of-Staff, Hrvoje
Sarinic, the Ambassador stressed America's determination for those
indicted for war crimes in eastern Croatia's city of Vukovar to be
brought before the tribunal.
They are living freely in Yugoslavia, which is unacceptable,
Schaeffer said in Zagreb on Monday.
Sarinic expressed dissatisfaction that nobody had yet been
indicted for crimes against Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
He also expressed surprise with the conduct of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) regarding to
events during the Croatian military and police operation "Storm".
The operation had been launched and completed in the summer of 1995
with the aim of liberating occupied areas within Croatia's
internationally recognised borders.
The talks between Sarinic and Shaeffer also focused on the trial of
Dinko Sakic, a former commander of the Jasenovac concentration camp
during World War II who was recently extradited by Argentina to be
put on trial in Croatia.
Sarinic confirmed Croatia's openness to all international
observers and possible witnesses from abroad to attend the trial.
Shaeffer expressed satisfaction with the course of the
proceedings.
Present at the meeting were also President's advisor for foreign
affairs, Neven Madey, and US Ambassador to Croatia, William
Montgomery.
