Croatian PM: Charges against Serbia still stand

Sanader said that Croatia planned to study in detail the ICJ’s judgment in the lawsuit filed by Bosnia and Herzegovina adding he was interested in Croatian legal experts' opinion, including that of Ivan Šimonović, Croatia’s chief representative before the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

"Croatia should soon drop charges”

Croatia and Serbia should soon decide to drop genocide charges against Serbia, Serbia’s legal team Chief Radoslav Stojanović says.

“We’ve come close to reaching and implementing an agreement regarding Croatia’s lawsuit against Serbia”, a Zagreb daily quoted Stojanović as saying.

“Serbia and Croatia have been discussing the issue of dropping the charges for more than a year now and held meetings on various levels of authority. I’ve suggested the idea not only to Croatia, but to Bosnia as well. However, Bosnia rejected the concept”, Stojanović said adding that he and the official Croatia’s representatives talked about the subject only a few days ago.

Serbian legal expert said other Serbian officials talked to Croatia’s authorities on the same matter, but refused to disclose their names.
