Responding to questions from the press in Zagreb on Tuesday as to who made the final assessment of countries' cooperation with the tribunal, Robinson said it was the prosecutor.
Commenting on his meeting with the Croatian Supreme Court president and judges earlier in the day, the ICTY President described the talks as open and excellent.
The talks focused on the ICTY's legacy and plans for the establishment of information centres in the countries in the area of the former Yugoslavia.
According to Robinson, The Hague will host a conference on the global and institutional legacy of the UN tribunal in September. Also that month, Slovenia will host a conference on the establishment of information centres which are to include various services, including memorial centres, reconciliation centres etc.
Robinson said that his talks in Zagreb had also revolved around the organisation of courts that should tackle war crimes.
We agree that the greatest challenge for the ICTY as well as for courts in Croatia, when it comes to war crimes, is how they can expedite trials without affecting the fairness of the proceedings, the ICTY president said.
The Croatian Supreme Court chief told the press conference that the talks with Robinson had dealt with many professional issues.
Hrvatin said that the Croatian delegation had stressed that their aim was to see to it that all trials, notably those for the most serious crimes, including war crimes, should be conducted "before independent courts and competent judges."
He agreed with the importance of the expeditiousness of those trials.
Hrvatin said one of the topics of the talks was possibilities for the use of documentation collected so far by the Hague tribunal.
Translations of the tribunal's most important rulings are of great importance and will be published and used in our court practice, Hrvatin said.
He recalled that Croatia had four specialised tribunals for war crimes within four county courts.
Hrvatin commended those specialised courts' judges for a job well-done.
War crimes proceedings in the early 1990s were burdened by many shortcomings such as poorly compiled indictments, superficial trials and superficial defences, but all of this turned for the better and now war crimes trials are fair and led by competent judges, Hrvatin said.
