Cheku's [Ceku] nomination unacceptable
BELGRADE – The Serbian Government has deemed the
Kosovo's nomination of Agim Cheku for prime minister
unacceptable, stating that he is facing war crimes
indictments.
The Serbian Government's Media Cooperation Office's
Chief, Srdjan Djuric, said that the War Crimes
Tribunal has indicted Cheku for war crimes charges,
adding that there are no instances in Europe or around
the world where a country or state's prime minister is
indicted for war crimes.
"The War Crimes Court has issued an indictment against
Agim Cheku and an international warrant for his arrest
is pending. Today in Europe, and throughout the entire
globe most likely, there are no prime ministers who
are accused of war crimes. For the Serbian Government,
it is completely unacceptable to have a man, who
should be in court facing war crimes charges, be
elected as prime minister or for any other political
position. The officials of the international community
who are responsible for Kosovo have an obligation to
protect the elementary norms of civilisation and stop
Agim Cheku from being elected and make a mockery of
the values which a democratic society is founded on,"
Djuric told B92.
