Cleanser of Krajina buried

[Chris Burford]

Franjo Tudjman was buried on Monday, first head of state of Croatia, at a
funeral attended by only two other heads of state.

Despite receiving political encouragement from Germany and military
encouragement from the US, during his battles with Serbian domination of
Yugoslavia, he earned the cool disapproval of the west by openly cleansing
Krajina 0f 150,000 Serbs in 1995, by his failure to cooperate with the
Hague tribunal on war crimes, and by his authoritarian style.
