Thaci wants to "spoil" Vucic's trip – minister (B92)
Hashim Thaci's announcement about "a genocide lawsuit" is aimed primarily "at spoiling the visit of PM Aleksandar Vucic to Tirana," says Aleksandar Vulin.
"Whoever knows the policy of the Kosovo Albanians, knows that they never say such things accidentally and that they very rarely speak from their own heads. The policy of the Kosovo Albanians is similar to that drone - always shooting from someone else's hands," the labor minister told Tanjug.
According to him, this is an attempt to make Vucic's visit "impossible and more difficult than it already is," and at the same time attempt make the Kosovo talks led in Brussels "more difficult for Serbia."
However, Vulin said, "everyone knows how much Serbia is turned toward stability and peace and it can be said that, unlike most countries in the region, Serbia stands out with its political and economic stability."
"The ideas Hashim Thaci are not unfamiliar to us. However, it will be much better if he dedicated himself to the establishment of a special court so that it is not formed by the (UN) Security Council, and explain his role in the period which preceded the NATO bombing (in 1999) and the time after the bombing," said the minister.
Vulin added that the 2010 report of then Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty - that spoke about the involvement of the KLA in, among other things, the harvesting of organs from Serb prisoners - "is not something that Thaci can forget," and that, before he thinks about suing Serbia for genocide, he should "first answer the questions from the report."
"This is something he will have to prove and here is a great opportunity, all he has to do is help establish a special court," said Vulin, stating that "it is obvious that there is much truth in what Marty said, if Thaci has so many problems with the establishment of a special court."
"Before he thinks of suing Serbia for genocide - although he cannot even do it, because Kosovo is not a state, nor will it be one - let him still take care of explaining before the special court what he and his comrades did in Kosovo before, during and after the bombing, let him explain where the Serbs disappeared to, where the murdered Serbs are, and where the murdered Albanians who did not think like him are," said Vulin.
