Abstract
The current EU/ICTY debate goes to the fundamentals of Croatian society, its problems and relations with the West. The country and its leadership should have expected the decision by EU Foreign Ministers not to continue with accession negotiations. However, hopes were high that the EU would once again turn a blind eye and accept Croatian 'explanation's or 'excuses', dependent on which side of the fence one sits. The question is a delicate one in terms of domestic policy, with explanations sought at several levels.
