"Croatia has fulfilled obligations regarding access to witnesses and
evidence. One big problem remains, and that is Ante Gotovina. We
applaud the new Croatian government's approach, but we also expect it
to act," she said.
Asked if the Prosecutor's Office knew the current whereabouts of
General Gotovina, who has been on the run since the Hague tribunal
issued an indictment against him in 2001, Hartmann said that according
to the latest information Gotovina was in Croatia at the end of last
year.
"We don't know where exactly Gotovina was in the first weeks of this
year, but it is the duty of Croatia's authorities to look for him and
report to us on a regular basis, even if the results are negative."
