Croatian President Ivo Josipovic says it would make sense if Hague indictee Goran Hadzic was tried in Croatia, the country “where he had committed the crimes". But he added that the Hague Tribunal had an advantage in that regard. Croat president on trying Hadzic in Croatia Hadzic is a former political leader of Serbs in Croatia, accused of committing war crimes. When asked by reporters if Croatia would ask for Hadzic to be extradited to that country and whether that was possible, Josipovic said that relevant rules of the Hague Tribunal and Croatia's Constitutional Law made that impossible as Hadzic was charged with the same crimes by both the Hague and Croatia, and the Hague had the legal advantage. He said, however, that it would make sense if Hadzic could face justice in the country where the crimes he was charged with had taken place. Hadzic simply has to be extradited to the Hague, the Croatian president said a press conference in Zagreb. Ivo Josipovic (Tanjug, file)
