"This should have not happened," Croatian President Stipe Mesic told journalists as the scandal broke out. "The Hague-based court has its rules and all those who are entitled to provisional release know the rules that they have to act upon."
“To se nije smjelo dogoditi“, izjavio je novinarima hrvatski predsjednik Stjepan Mesić po izbijanju skandala. “Haaški sud ima svoja pravila i oni koji su pušteni na privremenu slobodu znaju pravila koja moraju poštivati”.
