Croatia might drop lawsuit against Serbia
Legal World
Croatia might drop its suit against Serbia at the highest UN court and seek an out of court settlement with it, a Croatian negotiator said yesterday.
The decision reflects the country's scepticism about its case after the court cleared Serbia of genocide in Bosnia.
Like Bosnia, Croatia also sued Serbia at the International Court of Justice for genocide committed here during the 1991 war, when Serbia backed Croatian Serbs' armed rebellion against Croatia's independence from the ex-Yugoslavia.
