ZAGREB/THE HAGUE, April 6 (Hina) - An attorney representing
General Mladen Markac before the Hague war crimes tribunal, Goran Mikulicic,
said on Friday he would file a request to the office of the tribunal's
registrar and the Hague Bar Association to investigate allegations about
potential conflict of interest on the part of Greg Kehoe, attorney for General
Ante Gotovina. Ivan Zvonimir Cicak, a columnist for Jutarnji List
daily, said in a Croatian Television political program on Thursday he had
evidence that Kehoe had worked on investigations into Operation Storm during
his term as prosecutor at the Hague tribunal.
Gen. Gotovina is charged with crimes committed before, during and in
the aftermath of the 1995 Operation Storm.
Olga Kavran, spokeswoman for the Office of the Prosecutor, has said
that in cases when prosecutors become attorneys, the prosecution carries out an
internal investigation to establish if there exists potential conflict of
interest.
Had the prosecution believed that the issue of conflict of interest
should be raised, it would have done so, Kavran told Hina on the telephone.
