Hoplite, he won't surrender for the same reason that the U. S. will never sign on to the I. C.C. As for consequences to Croatia, EU membership negotiations started Oct 3. NATO noone gives a rat's ass about. as for transcripts, you're wrong on that too, but that's a different thread.
And actually I'm down to zero victims of Gotovina. (post Aug 5 is now alleged to be Cermak's responsibility). cmon hoplite, you know he's innocent. ;-)
Zeke, what the EU gives, it can take away.
THE EUROPEAN UNION OPENS ACCESSION NEGOTIATIONS WITH CROATIA
EU Member States decided in Luxemburg on 3 October to launch accession negotiations with Croatia. The opening of the accession negotiations was made possible by the assessment of the Council of Ministers that Croatia was fully cooperating with the International War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) set up by the UN. This assessment by the Council was based on a report by the ICTY Chief Prosecutor Del Ponte which outlined the progress that Croatia had made over recent months.
The European Commissioner for Enlargement, Mr. Olli Rehn, said: “I am very pleased that Croatia has responded positively to the need to fully cooperate with the Tribunal. ... Croatia must maintain this degree of cooperation with the Tribunal, leading to the resolution of the one remaining issue, namely, the location, arrest and transfer of General Ante Gotovina to the Hague.”
One down, two to go.
