The fighting in Croatia, between the JNA and Serb militia on one side and hastily assembled Croat defence forces on the other, was ended by a UN-brokered ceasefire in January 1992.

 Open Letter to E.U. Foreign Ministers, E.U. High Representative for Common, Foreign, and Security Policy Javier Solana, ...
In a July 2001 letter to Prime Minister Racan, Human Rights Watch welcomed the government’s announced decision to cooperate with the ICTY in the arrest and surrender to the tribunal of Croatian army officers Rahim Ademi and Ante Gotovina.
We expressed awareness of Croatia’s past cooperation with the tribunal regarding the provision of documents, access to witnesses and sites of crimes, exhumations, and the surrender of Bosnian Croat indictees present in Croatia, but we stressed that the ultimate test would be the surrender of the country’s own nationals if they were indicted.
We are seriously concerned that Croatia’s failure to cooperate with the ICTY could not only undermine those efforts in Croatia, but could also be used by other governments in the region to excuse disregard for their obligations to the ICTY.
