SARAJEVO, Nov 21 (Hina) - The chief prosecutor of the UN war crimes
tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Carla Del Ponte, has said that
the tribunal will issue several new indictments by the end of this
year. #L#
In an interview published in the Friday issue of Sarajevo's Dnevni
Avaz daily, Del Ponte recalled that her office was still conducting
13 investigations into some 30 suspects from ex-Yugoslavia and that
all investigations would be completed by the end of 2004.
She said that several new indictments would be issued by the end of
the year, but would not reveal any names.
Asked about possible differences in the international community
with regard to the case of runaway Croatian general Ante Gotovina
and the surrender of four Serbian generals, Del Ponte said the only
difference was that some advocated stronger and some less strong
pressure, but no one questioned the fact that they had to be handed
over to the tribunal.
