In an interview with Media Servis on Wednesday, Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor called on President Ivo Josipovic to meet with her for talks as there were many issues and problems they were bound by the constitution to deal with together.
Asked about a forthcoming visit by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to Zagreb, Kosor said that he would come in mid-September and bring a complete draft accession treaty. "I don't know which date will be set for signing the treaty, the most important thing is that we have completed the (EU entry) talks," said Kosor, among other things.
Asked about the non-final ruling of the Hague war crimes tribunal in the case against Momcilo Perisic, Chief of the General Staff of the Yugoslav Army in the period from 1993 to 1998, Kosor said that court verdicts should be respected but that she believed that it was unfair that Perisic had not been convicted for genocide.
"The link between the Yugoslav Army and the horrors that happened in Sarajevo, Srebrenica and Zagreb was clearly shown, and that is very important."
The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on Tuesday sentenced Perisic to 27 years in prison for aiding and abetting the siege of Sarajevo and the murder of thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica, as well as for failure to punish his subordinates for missile attacks on Zagreb. He was acquitted of charges of aiding and abetting extermination as a crime against humanity in Srebrenica.
