On 23 November, del Ponte described Gotovina's handover as the only remaining obstacle to Croatia's co-operation with the ICTY. "As soon as Gotovina will be in The Hague, it will be possible to say that, indeed, Croatia is co-operating fully with the tribunal."
Del Ponte je 23. studenog označila izručenje Gotovine kao jedinu preostalu zapreku u suradnji Hrvatske s ICTY-em. “Čim se Gotovina nađe u Haagu bit će moguće reći kako Hrvatska doista u cijelosti surađuje s tribunalom”.
