  1. “To foster cross-border cooperation in war crimes trials, Croatia has signed an agreement with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro on cooperation in war crimes proceedings and in combating organized crime. We are pleased to note that efforts to harmonize legislation relevant to war crimes in the countries of the region are also under way. Croatia reiterates the importance of the ICTY in the context of post-conflict reconciliation and stabilization in South-East Europe. We reaffirm our determination to support the work of ICTY and to cooperate fully so that its mandate can be successfully completed. In that regard, the Croatian Government would like to reassure the Council of its determination to continue building a constructive partnership, based on trust, with the ICTY prosecution and with the Tribunal as a whole.”

  2. “In order to facilitate the exit strategy in line with the dynamics envisaged by the Office of the Prosecutor, Croatia has put in place the necessary capabilities to take over those cases that, in accordance with Security Council resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1504 (2003), cannot be tried in The Hague. An important measure to that effect is the designation of four special courts for war crimes proceedings. In order to ensure sufficient transparency, Croatia has agreed that war crimes trials before its national courts will be monitored by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). As a further measure of support, Croatia's State Attorney has established a fruitful working relationship and cooperation with the Office of the Prosecutor.”

  3. “In order to resolve the last remaining issue in terms of cooperation with the ICTY, the Croatian Government has designed and begun implementing its action plan, which was presented to the European Union Task Force at the end of April. Croatia is convinced that the implementation of the Action Plan will be conducive to an assessment of full cooperation. We are pleased that the Chief Prosecutor has confirmed our commitment to continuing with the vigorous implementation of the action plan. As regards other aspects of the report, Croatia takes note of the efforts made by the ICTY to meet the goals set out in Security Council resolutions 1503 (2003) and 1534 (2004).”

  4. “Croatia recognizes and reaffirms the need for full cooperation with the Tribunal, in terms of both ensuring the success of the Tribunal's mandate and our international obligations, and it is engaging in such cooperation. Indeed, Croatia is cooperating fully with the Tribunal, in accordance with its Constitutional Law on Cooperation with the ICTY, confirming our commitment fully to facilitate the accomplishment of the ICTY's mission. Furthermore - and more importantly - full cooperation with the ICTY is a priority for the Croatian Government because of the positive effects of the Tribunal's work on security and reconciliation in South-East Europe and our strong commitment to the rule of law.”

  5. “Allow me first to commend the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, Judge Theodor Meron, and the Chief Prosecutor, Mrs. Carla Del Ponte, for their dedication and distinguished service, and to thank them for their detailed reports on the activities of the Tribunal over the past period. As one of the leading advocates of the foundation of the ICTY, Croatia has a strong interest in the success of the Tribunal's mandate and in the flawless performance of its functions. We are convinced of the Tribunal's important role in facilitating stability and reconciliation in South-East Europe, and therefore Croatia urges the international community to do its utmost to ensure that the ICTY continues to serve in support of the Euro-Atlantic prospects of the countries in the region.”
