On April 6th, Croatian president Stjepan Mesic was asked some very touchy questions about Croatia's intentions of resolving the lingering conclusion of the genocide lawsuit. The president was asked if there was a chance of withdrawal of the genocide case. President Mesic responded that the bilateral relationship between the two countries is "very good" and “discussions are being held about that, and we do not know what decision will be [reached] in the end”.
According to the article, Croatia first filed the lawsuit against the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in July of 1999; Serbia is the legal successor. The accusation? Genocide.
When a Serbian newspaper published the interview, the article stated that there was a possibility of Croatia withdrawing the case. President Mesic quickly responded to the article as inaccurate and that it (withdrawal) was out of the question.
