We can only regret that "Storm" had not come sooner because the massacre in Srebrenica would not have happened, said Harris, who was one of the closest advisors of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher for years.
According to Harris, Croatian general Ante Gotovina was not indicted for a concrete order to kill Serbs or destroy their property, but for political reasons.
The indictment mentions the exodus of Serbs, but it is known that it was ordered by Croatian Serb leaders and there are numerous documents to prove that, Harris said.
He added that the chief prosecutor of the Hague war crimes tribunal, Carla del Ponte, was trying to show Serbs that she was not their enemy and persuade them to arrest Bosnian Serb leaders Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic, by issuing political indictments against Croats.
If Gotovina is convicted, it would mean that Croatian soldiers liberated their country in an unlawful action, he said.
Harris believes that Great Britain pursued a wrong policy by opposing Croatia's independence and even more the independence of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The biggest mistake of that policy, Harris believes, is that Great Britain declared "Storm" an ethnic cleansing campaign, and prior to its start worked to prevent American activities aimed at stopping Serbs from conquering Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Harris on Monday presented the Croatian translation of his book "Dubrovnik, A History", which has seen two English-language editions since 2003.
