GRANIC: CROATIA WILL ARREST EVERY WAR CRIME-SUSPECT ON ITS TERRITO

TERRITO $ RY FLORENCE, June 14 (Hina) - Croatia would arrest every person on its territory indicted for war crimes by the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal, Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic told a press conference in Florence, Italy, on Friday. Commenting a statement by the president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Antonio Cassese, which said that sources showed that Dario Kordic, a Bosnian Croat leader and suspect of the Criminal Tribunal, often entered Croatia, Granic said that this might have been the case before the Croatian parliament passed the Constitutional Act on Cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal. "The arrest of Zlatko Aleksovski is the best confirmation of Croatia's cooperation with the Hague tribunal", Granic said. He said that it was impermissible to put Bosnian Serbs Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic on the same level with Bosnian Croats Dario Kordic and Ivica Rajic. Karadzic and Mladic had committed aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina and were still in power, which was not the case with Kordic and Rajic, Granic said. He concluded by saying that Croatia expected that crimes against Croats in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina would be indicted too, since three indicted Serbs, Mrksic, Radic and Sljivancanin, were not the only ones to have committed crimes against Croats.
