SUBJECT: ZAGREB WEEKLY ACTIVITY REPORT - NOVEMBER 14, 2008 
 
REF: ZAGREB 778 
 
1. (SBU) ICTY PROSECUTOR EXPRESSES CONTINUED DISAPPOINTMENT 
WITH GOC DOCUMENT SEARCH: 
ICTY Chief Prosecutor Serge Brammertz visited Zagreb on Nov. 
10-11 at the beginning of a tour of regional capitals in 
advance of the next periodic report from the ICTY to the UN 
Security Council on December 12.  In his briefing to the 
local diplomatic corps, Brammertz noted that the GoC had been 
required by the Court to provide either a whole series of 
documents including military logs from 1995's Operation 
Storm, or convincing results from a comprehensive 
investigation in to how the documents had disappeared. 
Brammertz said the GoC had made a voluminous submission on 
October 20 that included a limited number of relevant 
documents, such as some police logs, but none of the missing 
military documents.  While the full submission was still 
being translated, Brammertz said his staff was "disappointed" 
with the quality of the Croatian investigation into the 
allegedly missing documents.  Brammertz said he believed the 
GoC understood that the Court was unlikely to be satisfied, 
and that the GoC was considering undertaking further efforts. 
 While ICTY was willing to give the GoC more time, Brammertz 
also noted that the Prosecution's case against Ante Gotovina 
and other officers involved in Operation Storm is scheduled 
to conclude in the first half of 2009.  (RHoltzapple) 
 
2. (U) FORMER UN SRSG KLEIN VISITS CROATIA: 
Jacques Paul Klein, a retired FSO and USAF Reserve Major 
General, who served as chief of the UN Transitional 
Administration for Eastern Slavonia (UNTAES) in 1996-1998, 
was invited to Croatia on November 10 to 15 for a conference 
in Vukovar to discuss how Eastern Slavonia had been 
peacefully reintegrated into Croatia at the end of conflict. 
Klein met with PM Sanader, FM Jandrokovic and was given a 
state decoration by President Mesic.  In those meetings, as 
well as at the conference, Croatian officials highly praised 
the work of the UN mission at restoring Croatian sovereignty 
over the territory without armed conflict, and in a manner 
that permitted both the remaining Serb and returned Croatian 
populace to co-exist.  Ten years after the return of the 
Croatian population and Croatian authorities, conditions in 
the area are secure and a sizeable Serb population remains 
and is politically active.  While the Consul General from the 
Serbian Consulate in Vukovar attended, the fact that no local 
Serbs spoke at the conference symbolized the continued need 
for greater ethnic reconciliation in the region. 
(RHoltzapple) 
 
3. (SBU) RHETORICAL EXCHANGES ABOUT RELATIONS BETWEEN SERBIA 
AND CROATIA CONTINUE: 
Despite the return of the Serbian Ambassador to Zagreb 
(reftel), President Mesic stated in a regional conference on 
November 8 that bilateral relations between Serbia and 
Croatia were still rather stagnant.  Serbian FM Jeremic 
responded via the media that Zagreb was responsible for the 
current state of the relations, and repeated accusations that 
Croatia had ethnically cleansed its Serbian population. 
Jeremic also listed the GoC's decision to recognize Kosovo 
and Croatia's case against Serbia at the International Court 
of Justice (ICJ) as further obstacles to good relations.  The 
Croatian Foreign Ministry on November 10 rejected Jeremic's 
comments about ethnic cleansing, and argued that Jeremic's 
comments demonstrated that Belgrade had not yet come to terms 
with the role it played in the breakup of Yugoslavia.  The 
MFA's statement concluded by noting that Croatia would 
continue to support Serbia along its European path.  On 
November 13 the back and forth continued when Jeremic 
responded to the reactions from Zagreb by repeating his claim 
that Croatia ethnically cleansed 250,000 Serbs in the 1990s. 
On a more positive note, Mesic and Serbian President Tadic 
agreed in meeting in Warsaw earlier in the week that a new 
dimension needed to be introduced in the bilateral relations 
to change the current stalemate.  (PD'Amico) 
 
4.  (SBU) WHILE PRELIMINARY ICJ RULING LOOMS.... 
PM Sanader, in a November 11 meeting with the Ambassador and 
former UN Transitional Administrator for Easter Slavonija 
Jacques Klein, said that the GoC wanted to improve ties with 
Belgrade .  Sanader noted, however, that the upcoming ICJ 
ruling regarding Croatia's genocide case against Serbia might 
temporarily increase bilateral tensions.  (Note:  The ICJ is 
scheduled to rule on Serbia's preliminary objections to the 
jurisdiction and admissibility of Croatia's case on November 
18, which happens to be the 17th anniversary of the fall of 
Vukovar.  End Note.) (PD'Amico/ZTomic)

5.  (U) GOVERNMENT RELEASES LONG AWAITED DRAFT ENERGY 
STRATEGY: 
Deputy Prime Minister Polancec announced the details of 
Croatia's proposed national energy strategy on 
November 10.  The document foresees the need for 10 billion 
euros of investment up to 2020 in a combination 
of coal and gas fired power plants, renewables, energy 
transportation projects, and nuclear energy.  The 
strategy presented three scenarios for power generation, 
offering different combinations of coal, gas, and 
nuclear.   All scenarios also included the goal to achieve 20 
percent renewables by 2020.  DPM Polancec 
indicated the preferred scenario is one which includes one 
600 MW coal fired power plant and one 1,000 MW 
nuclear power plant (although a gathering of the ruling HDZ 
party recently favored a non-nuclear scenario). 
Declining gas production will lead to increased reliance on 
foreign sources, Polancec said.  He called for 
the liquefied natural gas terminal project on the island of 
Krk to be accelerated in order to ensure a 
diversity of gas supply away from Russian sources.  He also 
pointed to large potential for development 
of renewable energy such as wind, biomass, geothermal, and 
others.  The strategy is now open for a 
month-long public debate after which the final strategy will 
be adopted and an action plan developed.

6.  (U) PM SANADER PROPOSES BALANCING THE BUDGET AS DEBATE 
SET TO BEGIN NOVEMBER 19: 
At a November 12 meeting of government ministers and about 
250 representatives from labor unions, employers 
associations, local governments, and state-owned companies, 
Prime Minister Sanader said the GoC would aim 
for a balanced budget for 2009.   He called for a consensus 
on measures to help the government weather the 
global financial crisis, including a one-year salary freeze 
for government employees and union workers. 
Sanader said infrastructure projects already underway would 
continue, as will healthcare reform.  The 
proposal received initial approval from employers, but the 
unions will respond only after further internal 
discussions. The Ministry of Finance has not yet released the 
proposed 2009 budget to the public. 
Discussion on the budget is set to begin November 19, but 
anticipating a difficult debate, Speaker of 
Parliament Luka Bebic told the press the session could be 
extended to December 15th or beyond.  (SLitke) 
 
7. (U) OREGON AND CROATIAN SUPREME COURT JUSTICES PARTICIPATE 
IN MOCK TRIAL COMPETITION: 
Over 100 students from six Croatian secondary schools 
participated in a mock trial competition held at the Zagreb 
County Court, trying identical cases under both the Croatian 
and U.S. systems of jurisprudence.  Presiding over the trials 
were the Honorable Paul De Muniz, the Chief Justice of the 
Oregon Supreme Court, and Marin Mrcela and Juro Sessa, both 
members of Croatia's Supreme Court.  The mock trials were 
conducted by the Classroom Law Project, an Oregon NGO which 
receives funding from the Department of Education under a 
Civitas grant.  The U.S. Embassy has supported the activities 
of the Classroom Law Project since 1999.  Assistant PAO 
participated in the mock trials as a juror.  The student's 
demonstrated impressive English skills and knowledge of both 
U.S. and Croatian trial procedures.  In his closing remarks 
to the wider audience, Chief Justice De Ruiz linked the 
recent U.S. elections to the rule of law, discussing the 
importance of the peaceful transference of power and of the 
equality of opportunity which can only exist in a just 
society.  (KWetzel)
