Ante Gotovina

Ante Gotovina is a Croatian retired military officer who served as a general in Croatia's armed forces. He is known for his leadership during the Croatian War of Independence in the 1990s, particularly for operations aimed at reclaiming territory from Serbian forces. His role became controversial due to allegations of involvement in war crimes, but he was eventually acquitted of these charges by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Gotovina is considered a national hero by many in Croatia for his military contributions, though his legacy remains debated due to the complex nature of the conflict.
