Goraždevac

The Kosovo prosecution said on Monday that police have arrested a man identified only by the initials M.D. on suspicion of committing war crimes in the Peja/Pec region of Kosovo in May 1999.

Police confirmed on Thursday evening that a group of minors from the western town of Peja/Pec has been identified and interviewed for stoning a Serb woman's house in the town centre.

They were spending a summer day on the banks of the Bistrica River, near their homes in the Serb enclave of Gorazdevac - a village in the western part of Kosovo.

19-year-old Ivan Jovovic, and 12-year-old Pantelija Dakic were killed in the attack.

The wife of Skender Bislimi, accused of torturing Kosovo Albanians with a Serb paramilitary group in 1999, testified he had already left Kosovo when the crimes were committed because the family was afraid of Serbs.

True reconciliation and a future in the European family can happen only when killers and criminals are no longer celebrated as "national heroes" in Kosovo.

KFOR commander Giovanni Fungo says the NATO troops in Kosovo "remain committed to preserving security and fulfilling their mission."

Fungo made the remark during his visit to the Serb enclave of Gorazdevac, near the town of Pec.

The Serbian Army (VS) chief has asked NATO's KFOR in Kosovo "to devote more attention to Gorazdevac and other non-Albanian majority areas."

Murder, not intimidation was the goal of the recent attacks against Serbs in Gorazdevac and Srbobran in Kosovo, says Dalibor Jevtic.

Speaking for B92 late on Tuesday, this minister for returns and communities in the Kosovo government added:

AFTER GORAZDEVAC ATTACK "Albanians are personally responsible for safety of Serbs"

Marko Djuric was in Gorazdevac on Monday when he said Kosovo Albanian politicians are personally responsible for the safety of Serbs in this enclave.
