Asked about the position of the Croatian parliament on today's statement by European Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn, that the EU might postpone membership talks with Croatia, scheduled for March 17, due to incomplete cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague (ICTY), Seks said the parliament was well acquainted with the fundamental tasks and intelligence work of the executive authority.
"According to our information (...) General Gotovina is not in Croatia," said Seks, who is on a two-day visit to Luxembourg, the country that currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union.
Seks said Croatia needed to reassure its friends and partners that it had done everything to remove the existing reservations and blockades in some EU member countries whose main source of information was the ICTY Prosecutor's Office.
He added that EU countries had an obligation to help Croatia meet its only remaining obligation towards the ICTY.
