Office of the Prosecutor:
Florence Hartmann for the Office
of the Prosecutor made the following statement:
The Chief Prosecutor, Ms. Del Ponte,
met yesterday Tuesday, 5 April 2005, Minister Rasim
Ljaljic, President of Serbia and Montenegro’s National
Council for Cooperation with the ICTY. The Chief
Prosecutor has acknowledged the important improvements
made by the State union in the last weeks. She underlined
that it was the beginning of fruitful cooperation
and that the objective of full cooperation can and
must be met in the short term. Outstanding issues
regarding fugitives and pending Requests For Assistance
were discussed with Minister Ljajic. There are still
13 ICTY indictees at large. Apart from Ante Gotovina,
most of the others are within the reach of the Serbian
Government. We therefore expect full cooperation
that includes arrest when needed. Everybody is aware
how important it was to obtain the transfer of all
fugitives and foremost of Ratko Mladic and Radovan
Karadzic before the 10th anniversary of the genocide
in Srebrenica, this July.
Questions:
A journalist pointed out that on
the Pandurevic indictment that there was a name
blacked out. Asked if this was an indication of
another indictment to be unsealed, Hartmann answered
that it was not a sealed indictment, but a sealed
name related to an investigation that was completed
before the end of December and that did not appear
earlier for some reasons that cannot be discussed
now. The new name that had not yet been disclosed
appeared in that way and at this time for administrative
reasons.
