Kosovo Liberation Army

BELGRADE - The policy of Serbia and Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) has to be the protection of national interests, development of the economy, and not violence, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday on the occasion of marking 11 years since the pogrom that ethnic Albanians carried out against Serbs in the province.

Around 100 Kosovo Liberation Army veterans warned of possible unrest unless the government publishes its headcount of ex-fighters, enabling them to receive pensions, within a week.

Three men accused of being part of a Yugoslav Army unit that killed 46 ethnic Albanians in an attack on the Kosovo village of Ljubenic in 1999 pleaded not guilty to war crimes.

The government put forward two constitutional amendments to enable the creation of a new EU-backed court to try Kosovo Liberation Army ex-fighters for alleged crimes during and after the war.

PRISTINA - Kosovo's Prime Minister Isa Mustafa said on Monday that the authorities in Pristina were working of documents needed to create the Special Court.

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - The Srpska List called on Albanian leaders in Kosovo-Metohija and representatives of the Kosovo government and parliament to pass a bill setting up a court that would try war crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), and thus contribute to reconciliation.

Oliver Ivanovic, who is on trial for war crimes and ordering the killings of Kosovo Albanians, has been remanded for another two months despite a new plea from the Serbian president.

"Warrant for Serbs aimed at minimizing KLA crimes"

BELGRADE -- Ruling SNS party MP Milovan Drecun reacted on Wednesday to the Interpol arrest warrant for MP Momir Stojanovic and a group of Serbs and Montenegrins in Kosovo.

LONDON - Amnesty International (AI), a human rights NGO, states in its annual report on the human rights situation in Serbia that Serbs are still subject to attacks and other minorities discriminated against in Kosovo, and a special court to try former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is expected to be set up there as well.
