Fugitive Croatian General Ante Gotovina was captured in Spain on Thursday. It is a dark day for the general and for all those who fought and died for Croatia’s independence from Yugoslavia. In fact, his arrest and extradition to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia is the most calamitous event in the region since the end of the Balkan wars.

I was appalled by your item on Croatian General Ante Gotovina (2 June). It was little more than MI6 and Foreign Office spin. The public does not pay the license fee for you put out the FCO/MI6 line without questioning it.

A major drama is being played out in Croatia that has tremendous ramifications, for it strikes at the very heart of the basic freedoms of expression and the press. On April 28,2005, The International Criminal Tribunal For The Former Yugoslavia at the Hague issued indictments against Domogoj Margetic, a former investigative reporter for ‘Hrvatsko Slovo‘, and three other Croats for “contempt against the court for revealing a secret witness’s identity and testimony in the Tihomir Blaskic trial“. If convicted each may serve up to seven years or pay up to a 100k Euro fine.

The Hague Prosecutor's office works closely with and
endorsed an individual who according to recently
discovered documents played an important role in
Slobodan Milosevic's criminal Greater Serbia
enterprise. This individual is Mr Savo Strbac, head of
the Serbian 'Veritas' organisation. He has played a
close role in preparing the controversial indictments
against Croatian generals...

Tonight at the London School of Economics, Carla del
Ponte informed an audience that she was going to
expand the Gotovina indictment. She was also angered
when asked about the two murder victims that she
claimed Gotovina had responsibility for were alive and
well.

The implications for the Gotovina indictment are
clear. The United States provided considerable
intelligence, training and support for Operation
Storm, which liberated large areas of Croatia, saved
Bosnia-Herzegovina and put an end to Milosevic’s
Greater Serbia project.

The Croats - victims of the Serbs - are having their
leaders prosecuted vigously to the point where they
may die. For Serb leaders there is a light touch, They
are either not investigated or deals are done with
them to give them leniency.
And that says it all.

The Hague Prosecutor`s top adviser in investigating Croats, Savo Strbac, was head of a commission which during the war exchanged bodies with the opposing forces. In testimony given at the Milosevic trial, it has been alleged that this commission handed over bodies to its Bosnian counterpart, which included six people who were killed specifically for the purpose of handing over the right amount of bodies. An inquiry into these allegations is required, to determine the truth of matters.

The indictments against Bobetko and Gotovina are very much in the
FO` s interest - they can use them to say critics like Simms and others such as Margaret Thatcher were wrong. The FO will say that the Croat chief of staff was a war criminal and Operation Storm was nothing more than an `ethnic cleansing` exercise.
