The foreign minister and first deputy PM said that Pristina's announcements
onfthe initiative to form such a tribunal is viewed in light of the attempts
to find a balance with the work of a specialist court dealing with the KLA
("Kosovo Liberation Army") .
The KLA is a former armed formation of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo,
considered by Serbia to be a terrorist organization.
Dacic spoke for the Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti after president of the
Kosovo Assembly Kadri Veseli, a former KLA member, announced that the
initiative would soon be before the Assembly.
"It is difficult for me to even imagine that anybody from the international
community would support the establishment of a tribunal in Kosovo that would
be controlled by former KLA leaders, now dressed in politicians' suits, and
who could easily find themselves before the specialist court for KLA
crimes," said is Dacic.
The minister added that he did not know why an international tribunal for
the alleged crimes of Serbs in Kosovo would be established when this job was
already in the hands of the Hague Tribunal.
"Therefore, I think that the sole aim of such announcements is to calm the
Kosovo public at a time when more and more invitations for KLA leaders to
appear before the specialist court should be expected," Dacic concluded.
