The daily reports that the document with the date of 29 November presents the Ivo Sanader cabinet's stands on all important issues regarding Croatia's bid to enter the EU, including the relations with neighbours, a policy towards minorities and refugee returns as well as the cooperation with the ICTY tribunal and the issue of the fugitive general.
The daily reports that the government has written that "it is taking numerous measures against members of the Gotovina family, friends and associates of general Gotovina so as to render his hiding unviable." The government also stated that it was taking measures to identify and destroy any possible informal network of support to the general.
According to the daily, those and other measures relevant for the case are documented.
The government admits that the remaining unsolved issue is the Gotovina case, but, according to the paper, the Ivo Sanader cabinet recalls that since the start of its term, this government has demonstrated full cooperation in all cases and has transferred nine indictees to The Hague after they surrendered voluntarily.
On Wednesday evening, the spokesman for the government, Ratko Macek declined to tell Hina any more details concerning the memo.
The memo is seen as part of intensified efforts made by Croatia ahead of the European Council's summit on 16 and 17 December when Zagreb expects a date for the start of talks on full membership in the European Union.
