The Hague

Rexhep Selimi, who served at the Kosovo Liberation Army's headquarters during the 1998-99 war against Serbian forces, announced on Sunday that he has been invited for an interview as a suspect by the Hague-based prosecutors.

However, he did not specify the nature of the allegations against him.

The UN-backed Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals has announced that it has extended Jovica Stanisic's provisional release until April 30, 2020 because of his continuing illness.

It said that the extension was possible because "there is no indication that he has ever engaged in any practice undermining the administration of justice".

The mayor of Drenas, Ramiz Lladrovci, announced on Friday that he has received an invitation to be interviewed by the Kosovo Specialist Prosecution in The Hague, which is investigating alleged violations by Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA fighters during and just after the 1998-99 war.

Austrian writer Peter Handke, winner of this year's Nobel Prize for literature, confirmed on Thursday evening that he was given a Yugoslav passport in 1999 when the country was under the rule of Slobodan Milosevic.

Rama posted on Twitter that no matter how unfair the Special Court Tribunal's invitation to the KLA members was, there is nothing left but to speak the truth based on the war of a nation.
Rama claims that without the Kosovo Liberation Army, the people of Kosovo would still be denied the right.

Kadri Veseli said on Thursday that he has been invited for questioning by the Kosovo Specialist Prosecution in The Hague, which is investigating alleged violations by Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA fighters during and just after the 1998-99 war.

Members of the Association of Victims and Witnesses of Genocide and their supporters gathered on Tuesday in front of the Swedish embassy in Sarajevo to protest against the decision last month by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to award the Nobel Prize for literature to author Peter Handke, who took a pro-Serb stance during wartime.

A 380-kilometer traffic jam is being formed along Dutch highways today due to protests by construction workers against nitrogen pollution abatement measures that could affect their jobs, Reuters said.

According to the Dutch Traffic Service, the traffic congestion around The Hague is 380 km long.

Construction workers brought trucks, excavators and cranes to the protest. 

Those who are ultimately indicted are expected to be tried by the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, which were established in 2015 in The Hague, and grew out of allegations made in an explosive report by Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty back in 2010.

The UN's Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals in The Hague on Monday said it has refused to consider a request by lawyers for Radovan Karadzic, who was convicted of genocide and other wartime crimes, to have two judges he accuses of bias to be disqualified from making decisions in his case.
