Croatia intends to join an international peacekeeping operation in Iraq by sending a special forces unit that will be placed under US command, the defense ministry said on Tuesday.
Ministry spokesman Davor Denkovski said that subject to approval by the parliament, the unit would be deployed towards the end of the year, according to AFP.
He denied that there was any connection between the decision to send the troops and a disagreement between Croatia and the United States over the role of the UN's International Criminal Court (ICC). (Albawaba.com)
