ZAGREB, March 8 (Hina) - After a working lunch with Croatian President
Stjepan Mesic and Prime Minister Ivo Sanader in the parliament on
Monday, Parliament President Vladimir Seks told reporters that he,
Mesic and Sanader, as the linchpins of two branches of authority
(executive and legislative), agreed to meet in order to discuss

"We will make this a practice and the next meeting will be held in the
office of the Prime Minister," Seks said.
Reporters did not manage to ask questions about the topics of today's
meeting which lasted an hour and a half.
It is believed that the talks focused on ICTY indictments against
generals Mladen Markac and Ivan Cermak as well as on an amended
indictment against General Ante Gotovina.
Asked to comment on the indictments which, according to unofficial
information, arrived late last week, President Mesic said earlier this
morning he "knows only what was published in the media and will
discuss the matter with Sanader today".
In the meantime, Justice Minister Vesna Skare Ozbolt confirmed that a
sealed ICTY indictment against generals Cermak and Markac and an
amended indictment against General Gotovina had arrived in Zagreb
about ten days ago.
She said the indictments arrived in Zagreb on March 1 and their
content would be kept confidential until a competent ICTY judge
decided otherwise. The tribunal confirmed that such a decision was
made today,
Also present at today's meeting in parliament were Foreign Minister
Miomir Zuzul and parliament vice president Luka Bebic.
