Association to file charges against KLA leaders

BELGRADE - The Association of Families of the Kidnapped and Murdered in Kosovo and Metohija (KiM) said Friday that it will press charges before the domestic and international courts against the persons responsible for the crimes against Serbs and non-Albanians in KiM before and after 1999.

The victims' families have solid evidence of crimes committed by "leaders of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) who today take leading positions within their parties and the Albanian parliament in KiM," states the release.

The association specified that charges will be brought before the relevant judicial authorities in the country and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, adding that they will also contact Amnesty International.

The Association urges the government of Serbia and the War Crimes Prosecutor's Office to support the charges, "because the ICTY and the EULEX court ignore Serb victims".
