Among the many cases, the one that is most interesting to us is last year's discovery made by a "Sfor NATO-led Stabilization Force intelligence officer" who had noticed Croatian Gen Ante Gotovina, whom the Hague tribunal had indicted, while swimming at the beach at Brela. He then probably sent this report to the competent persons and MI6 then routinely sent this to the chief Hague prosecutor, who in the end included this information in her official report on Croatia's (non)cooperation with the Hague tribunal. When it later turned out that an Italian tourist who looked similar - but only from afar - to Gotovina had visited Brela, and not Gotovina himself, he experienced his "five minutes of fame" in the Croatian media and it was clear that this was done in an unprofessional manner. In order to at least partially cover this up, Hague Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte and British Europe Minister Denis MacShane then several times again reiterated that Gotovina was allegedly seen in Brela. However, in order not to threaten the minimum of their personal credibility, they quickly gave up on these theses. Gen Gotovina is probably not in Hercegovina, he said, but he immediately added that Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic were not in Bosnia-Hercegovina either. One gets the impression that by refuting his first information on Gotovina's possible location David Leakey had, in a certain way, wanted to amnesty Eufor - which he heads - for its inefficiency in connection with the search for Karadzic and Mladic. Now they probably will not even look for them since, he claims, neither of the two is in Bosnia-Hercegovina. This is nevertheless a significant move in comparison with Sfor's behaviour, which - according to the local press - had avoided Karadzic in a gentleman-like manner whenever it would come across one of his control points by chance.
