ZAGREB, May 31 (Hina) - The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has decided to lift confidentiality of the prosecution's clarification of the indictment against three Croatian Army generals - Ante Gotovina, Ivan Cermak and Mladen Markac - following an emergency motion to this effect filed by a defence team.
ZAGREB, May 31 (Hina) - The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) has decided to lift confidentiality of the prosecution's clarification of the indictment against three Croatian Army generals - Ante Gotovina, Ivan Cermak and Mladen Markac - following an emergency motion to this effect filed by a defence team.

The clarification contained names of former seven Croatian political and military officials whom the Prosecution in this case labelled as participants in "the joint criminal enterprise".

According to the document in which the prosecution named those seven people, they are "Mirko Norac (former Commander of Gospic Military District), Rahim Ademi (former Deputy Commander of Split Military District), Miljenko Crnjac (former Commander of Karlovac Military District), Mate Lausic, (former Head of Military Police Administration), Ivan Jarnjak (former Minister of the Interior), Markica Rebic (former Assistant Minister of Defence for Security), Jure Radic (former Minister of Reconstruction).

The text of the indictment against the three retired Croatian Army generals also cited the names of the first Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, former Defence Minister Gojko Susak, and two former army main staff commanders, Janko Bobetko and Zvonimir Cervenko, as participants in the joint criminal enterprise. All four men are dead.

The Hague-based UN war crimes tribunal explained that the reason for declassifying the document in question was the fact that the right of the accused persons to a fair and public trial "outweighs the interests the Prosecution purported to protect by the confidential filing of the Clarification of Indictment".

The Prosecution's reasons for "filing the Clarification of Indictment confidentially were that ceratin U.S. practice indicated that un-indicted co-conspirators are not named publicly in a formal indictment."
