Horrible day for Croatia.

I know Gotovina personally, an honourable man, ex-Legionnaire. We met during the war, both had come back to Croatia from afar.

Collateral damage.

The men helped to plan an operation to retake Croatia's Krajina region and force out all Serbs in 1995.

The Croatian government and public have reacted angrily to the verdict.
