Posted: 27 Aug 2010 04:45 AM PDT

FILE - In this Dec. 12, 2005 file photo former Croatian General Ante Gotovina, right, enters the courtroom for his initial appearance at the courtroom of the Yugoslav War Crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands. In 1995, Gotovina commanded troops involved in one of the most important battles of the Balkans wars, the lightning offensive to seize back the Croatia's Krajina region annexed by rebel Serbs, which Croats celebrate as Operation Storm. With his trial shortly coming to a close, prosecutors argue the four-day blitz was a textbook example of ethnic cleansing, while lawyers for the three generals insist it was a legitimate military campaign that adhered to the laws of war. The verdict, expected later this year, will be a milestone event in the Balkans. For Gotovina, 54, the outcome will mean either a hero's welcome home or decades in prison. (AP Photo/Ed Oudenaarden, Pool, File)AP - To fellow Croatians he's a war hero. For Serbs he's a criminal who lent tacit support to ethnic cleansing. Of one thing there's little doubt: Gen. Ante Gotovina has led a life on the edge.
