Unfortunately for you, there's no shortage of crimes perpetrated by Croat forces between August 4th and 6th, and furthermore, Gotovina wasn't superceded by Cermak - Cermak took over control of the area around Knin, and the crimes perpetrated in the aftermath of "Oluja" took place over a larger area than Cermak's new jurisdiction.

I suggest you read the relevant indictments a little more closely.

Hoplite, I read the documents very closely, and am certain that I know much more about Storm than you. First, you are mistaken that "there were no shortage of crimes between August 4 and August 6." There were virtually none. Second, Cermak was not in a military position, but civilian. Civilian authority was restored in the entire area by August 6th. That means that Gotovina has no responsibility after August 6th for law and order in the wider area. That responsibility went to Cermak and the civilian authorities of Croatia. I suggest you do a bit more research before you make statements that are without evidentiary support.
