News - EU warns Croatia over talks date
EU Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said that he hoped the issue could be resolved so that talks can go ahead.
Croatia insists it is doing everything it can to find and arrest fugitive General Ante Gotovina.
The International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague wants to try Gen Gotovina for alleged crimes against ethnic Serbs.
In hiding?
“We have not managed to hand over Gen Gotovina to the Hague because he is not in the hands of the Croatian authorities,” Croatian Ethnic dating site Stipe Mesic said after talks with Mr Barroso on Tuesday.
He said that he did not think Gen Gotovina - the adult free online dating service third most wanted person - was in hiding in Croatia as UN war crimes prosecutor Carla del Ponte believes.
“If we get free online flash dating simulation game that Gen Gotovina is in Croatia we will arrest him and extradite him to The Hague,” he said, adding, “If Gotovina is somewhere in Patagonia, it is obvious that we cannot ethnic dating him.”
The EU has already said that if Croatia fails to hand over Gen Gotovina by 17 March, dating ethnic site talks due to go ahead on that date will not take place.
War crimes
Mr Barroso said that whilst he trusted the goodwill of Croatia’s president, he felt that the country was still not doing enough to track down the war crimes suspect.
“So far the tribunal has not been able to say there was full co-operation,” he said.
But the Croatian president cited 626 requests from The Hague, saying that the country had complied with 625 of them.
Gen Gotovina is accused of ordering the killing of 150 ethnic Serbs and the expulsion of 150,000 in 1995.
But he is also regarded as a hero by many Croats, who would strongly oppose his arrest.
The war crimes he allegedly committed against Serbs took place during and after a Croatian army offensive against rebel Serbs in the Krajina region in 1995.
