ZAGREB, May 4 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor held talks with the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), Serge Brammertz, in Zagreb on Wednesday.
During a frank exchange of views, the two officials analysed Croatia's cooperation with the UN tribunal, with Kosor saying that cooperation would continue in accordance with Croatia's constitutional law on cooperation with the ICTY.
Kosor recalled that the Croatian government had applied for amicus curiae status at the tribunal, the statement concluded.
Before Brammerz arrived for talks with Kosor, some 30 members of the movement "Stop the Prosecution of Croatian War Veterans" rallied in downtown Zagreb in the afternoon to protest against his visit. Bramertz arrived in St. Mark's Square, where the government and parliament headquarters are located, around 1700 hours, after talks in the Justice Ministry.
The veterans began their protest by gathering in Cvjetni Trg square around 1600 hours, carrying Croatian flags and banners with messages against the EU, the Hague tribunal and Croatian government officials.
