Covic: Trial of Walker will be long
The delegation of
Serbia-Montenegro to the UN Security Council session
where UNMIK chief Harri
Holkeri will submit his report on Kosovo will be
headed by the charge
d'affaires of the Serbia-Montenegro Embassy in
Washington because "nothing
new" is going to happen, said Coordinating
Center for Kosovo and Metohija
head Nebojsa Covic yesterday.
Speaking at a press conference, Covic
pointed out several problems in
connection with Kosovo and Metohija that
should be pointed out,
including the question of the alleged massacre in the
village of Racak.
He emphasized that this event needs to be fully
clarified because Racak
was the 'prime motivation" for the bombing of FRY.
"It is our duty to
cast full light on events in connection with Racak and to
demand
responsibility of the 'prime participant' of that event, William
Walker
. . . Walker cannot go unpunished... If the people in the Hague
tribunal
are there for violating the law, then bombing a country is also a
war
crime," emphasized Covic.
He said that he hopes that "the trial of
Walker will be long".
Covic also reminded of requests to honor two
documents: the Joint
Document signed on November 5, 2001 with UNMIK chief
Hans Haekkerup,
which was disavowed by his successor, Michael Steiner, and
the Agreement
on Kosovska Mitrovica. Covic added that both documents had
received the
support of the UN Security Council.
