In Croatia, One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

radio free europe
May 01, 2011


By Anes Alic

Croatia (along with its neighbors) has long had difficulty accepting the wartime atrocities committed by its forces during the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s. But the recent reaction of the Croatian public to sentences handed down to two retired Croatian generals -- still viewed by some as heroes -- was indeed out of all proportion.
Earlier this month, judges at The Hague found Croatian wartime generals Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac guilty of atrocities -- including the persecution and murder of more than 300 ethnic Croatian Serbs -- and sentenced them to 24 and 18 years in prison, respectively. The crimes occurred during and after the August 1995 Croatian military operation “Storm,” the intent of which was to recapture a key area held by Serb rebels. A third defendant, Ivan Cermak, was acquitted of the same charges....more...

War crimes court jails ex-Croatian general Ante Gotovina for 24 yrs

REUTERS

Friday, 15 April 2011

A UN war crimes tribunal convicted a former Croatian general of orchestrating a campaign of murder and plunder to drive around 200,000 Serbs from a rebel enclave of Croatia, sentencing him to 24 years in prison.

Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor said her government would "use all legal means to fight" today's ruling, which identified Ante Gotovina - along with the late Croatian President Franjo Tudjman - as part of a criminal enterprise dedicated to expelling Serb residents of the country's Krajina region. ...more...
