Croatian war crimes indictee Gotovina misses father's funeral

23/05/2008

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands -- Lawyers representing Croatian war crimes indictee former General Ante Gotovina announced on Thursday (May 22nd) that they did not seek his provisional release, though the option was available, in light of his father's death. Mile Gotovina, 76, died of a heart attack on Thursday and was buried on Friday. Gotovina said after receiving the news that he would pray for his father's soul from his cell.

In other news, Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj asked The Hague war crimes tribunal on Thursday to acquit him of all charges, claiming they were "politically motivated". Seselj is charged with war crimes against non-Serbian civilians in Croatia, Vojvodina and Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1991 and 1993. (Javno.com, HRT, Makfax, Balkan Insight, Blic - 22/05/08)
