ZAGREB (Reuters) - Serbian nationalist Vojislav Seselj's acquittal on war crimes charges was "shameful" and a defeat for the U.N. war crimes tribunal, Croatian Prime Minister Tihomir Oreskovic said on Thursday.
"This verdict is shameful. It is a defeat for the Hague tribunal and the prosecution," Oreskovic said during a visit to Vukovar in eastern Croatia, where he laid wreaths in memory of those who died in the 1991 battle of Vukovar during the wars that led to the breakup of Yugoslavia.
