Vecer Comments on the Upcoming Visit of del Ponte

Maribor, 1 April - PRESS/HAGUE/PROSECUTOR
The upcoming visit of Carla del Ponte, chief prosecutor at the International Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia in the Hague, has caused a great stir in Slovenia. For now, the cause for this lies at home. A greater amount of co-operation instead of inconvenience, could have been expected from Slovenia in such an important matter as is the assistance for the uncovering of criminals against humanity. Causing inconvenience in communications with Europe and the world has become Slovene folklore. The reconstruction of events which were explained by Justice Minister Tomaz Marusic and State Prosecutor General Zdenka Cerar, only confirmed that the state bodies did not take the tribunal seriously enough, writes Saturday's release of Vecer.
