	1999/07/29 00:40 REFUSING COOPERATION TO THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL
		In Zagreb Arbour met with a cold shoulder because Justice Minister Zvonimir Separovic told her that Tuta's extradition was out of the question as he was being tried in Zagreb, while judicial proceedings for the extradition of the other defendant, found guilty under a valid verdict, have not been completed yet.
		Perhaps the Chief Prosecutor would have accepted this explanation had not Separovic gone even further and stated that the extradition of the notorious war criminals would be considered only after the completion of their case before the Croatian courts and the serving of full sentence in Croatian prisons.
		Separovic was especially touchy when it came to the possibility of pressing charges against several Croatian generals for crimes committed during and after the "Storm" and "Flash" operations.

		Separovic's optimistic spin was not exclusively for the benefit of the Croatian media; he also tried to sell it to the Security Council as well.
		Moreover, Separovic further stated that problems relating to investigations into Operations Flash and Storm in 1995 - over which the ICTY President found the Republic of Croatia to be in non-compliance, and thus in danger of UN sanctions - were "on the verge of being resolved".
		McDonald added that while Separovic pledged Croatia to send Naletilic to The Hague "immediately and unconditionally," the Croatian delegation admitted they were uncertain when this would happen, as there were, they said, "additional judicial proceedings that might have to take place under Croatian law" first.

		He states that at that meeting the matter of the transfer of Mr Mladen Naletilic was resolved to the ‘satisfaction of the Tribunal’s President and Prosecutor’.
		Moreover, Dr Separovic further states that the issues relating to Operations ‘Flash’ and ‘Storm’, regarding which I found the Republic of Croatia to be in non-compliance in my letter of 25 August, are ‘on the verge of being resolved’.
		As these and other characterizations contained in Dr Separovic’s letter are at variance with my understanding of our discussion, I would like to put the record straight on these matters.
