President Ivo Josipovic said on Friday evening he believed the chief prosecutor of the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Serge Brammertz, would recognise the progress Croatia had made in meeting the requirements of the Hague tribunal.
Speaking to reporters after a ceremony marking Croatian Armed Forces Day in Karlovac, Josipovic said he believed "Brammertz got a fuller picture" after talks with him, Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor and Chief Public Prosecutor Mladen Bajic.
"He, of course, will give his assessment, we won't pressure him, but I think Croatia's progress will be recognised," Josipovic said.
"Croatia has done all it can," Josipovic said, adding that he had full confidence in what the government was doing to meet the requirements of the Hague tribunal. "If there are any shortcomings that we can remove, we will do so."
