Belgrade does not believe in Pristina's sincere intention (Danas,Tanjug)

Belgrade does not believe Pristina has the administrative capacities or sincere intention to bring to justice perpetrators of horrendous crimes of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), Director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) Marko Djuric has said.

“I think we would have had much firmer guarantees that justice would be served had these crimes been in the jurisdiction of the court backed by the UN Security Council. Nevertheless, we will seize any opportunity to punish the criminals, as that is in our interest,” said Djuric, commenting on the announced establishment of a specialist court for KLA crimes.

Speaking about the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Djuric said that Belgrade is ready for further talks, noting that the last round of the top-level dialogue was held in Brussels on June 23.

The normalization of relations should be continued. Belgrade wants to talk about property, cultural heritage and many other issues, but that has to be preceded by an agreement on the establishment of the community of Serb municipalities as a guarantee that Serbs will remain in Kosovo, Djuric said.
