"Hague tribunal indictee Miroslav Bralo aka Cicko today voluntarily surrendered to representatives of the international community in Bosnia-Herzegovina," the Croatian Justice Ministry said in a brief statement.
The statement gave no details of the circumstances of his surrender or when Bralo would be transferred to the tribunal's custody.
Justice Ministry officials told Hina by telephone that Bralo was an ethnic Croat from Bosnia-Herzegovina, but that he did not have dual Croatian citizenship, and that he had obviously decided to turn himself in. They declined to reveal any other details.
The statement added that the Croatian government had notified the Hague tribunal of Bralo's voluntary surrender.
In a report to NATO's Permanent Council in Brussels on November 3, ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla del Ponte demanded that the Croatian government arrest General Ante Gotovina and Miroslav Bralo.
The indictment against Bralo, 37, former member of a Bosnian Croat special unit known as The Jokers, was confirmed on November 10, 1995 and unsealed on October 12 this year. He is charged with 21 counts of violations of the laws and customs of war and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions for the persecution of Muslims in the Lasva valley of central Bosnia in 1993.
