Kosovo refuses to hand over evidence on Radoicic to Serbia N1 Belgrade 2–3 minutes _____ The Kosovo government has turned down Serbia's request for cooperation in the Banjska case and for evidence related to the wanted Milan Radojicic, the Kosovo Justice Ministry said in response to a statement from the US ambassador to Kosovo that Serbia had sought legal assistance from Kosovo regarding the Banjska case. According to Kosovo’s Ministry of Justice, Serbia’s request contradicts Article 85, Paragraph 1, Items 1.2 and 1.3 of the Law on International Legal Cooperation in Criminal Matters. “Furthermore, under Kosovo’s Criminal Procedure Code, only Kosovo’s judicial authorities have the jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute cases alleged to have occurred on Kosovo’s territory,” the Ministry stated. The Kosovo Ministry said Serbia initially refused cooperation in this case, as those suspected of the terrorist attack in Banjska were, according to Kosovo authorities, trained in Serbia. It said that the Kosovo Special Prosecutor’s Office in 2023 submitted a request for mutual legal assistance to Serbia through the Department of International Legal Cooperation, but that Serbia never responded. “Serbia must respond to requests for the extradition of criminals so they can be brought to justice in Kosovo. An international investigation is also needed into terrorist training camps in Serbia and Serbia’s involvement in financing and arming terrorists,” said the Ministry. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
