Thirty lawyers from Serbia will take part in the work of the Court for the crimes of the former KLA in the capacity of attorneys, writes Belgrade based daily Politika.
Serbian Justice Minister Nela Kuburovic expressed her fear that the KLA Special War Crimes Tribunal, on which the EU insists, would remain "a dead letter on paper", reports Serbian media.
"I am not sure how much that court will come to life at all, because for so long the indictments have been announced, but nothing is happening," Kuburovic told Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti, reports KIM Radio.
Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC) has published the list of attorneys approved to represent suspects, accused or victims. The list contains names of 40 lawyers addmittee to the Lists of Counsel making them eligible to appear before the specialist court and represent anyone entitled to legal representation, a statement issued by the KSC states.
War crimes prosecutor Snezana Stanojkovic says that the prosecution took over 761 cases from Kosovo, KIM radio reports. According to her, the cases are in the appropriate registers and distributed to the processors for further action.
In an interview for Belgrade based daily Politika, Stanojkovic says that the subject of trafficking in human organs, known as the "yellow house" is still active, but that the start of the work is awaited of the Special Court for KLA crimes and its proceeding on this case.
Serbian Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin says that open threats with war and conflicts coming from Pristina's government officials will endanger peace in the entire region, responding to Daut Haradinaj's statement that the first arrest for the Special Court will again activate the former KLA, RTS reports.
On the occasion of the statement of the deputy of Alliance for the future of Kosovo, Daut Haradinaj, who said that raising the first indictments before the Special Court could re-activate the Kosovo Liberation Army, Jevtic says that such statements are dangerous.
Some people are trying to escape from responsibility for 17 years, says Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric on the occasion of the attempt to abolish the KLA Special War Crimes Court.
"War crime does not become obsolete, they can try to buy another month, another year, but sooner or later the truth will appear about what happened," Djuric told Belgrade based TV Prva.
-Now when the date of the Special Court's start approaches, and when it is obvious that many well-known names will be on the list of suspects, it is normal that those in fear are taking measures to reduce the impact of the Special Court and to control the damage, says Oliver Ivanovic, the SDP Leader on the occasion of attempt to amend the law on the court in the Kosovo parliament, reports KIM radio.
Haradinaj says that all issues that have so far been part of the dialogue in Brussels have no weight, because the main question between Kosovo and Serbia has not been resolved, and that is Kosovo's recognition by Serbia.
Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj was a guest in TV Show "Slobodno Srpski" on Sunday night; among the reasons is the first 100 days of the government that he is in charge.
Former KLA commander and Deputy Minister of the Security Forces of Kosovo Agim Ceku told RTV Kim in the TV Show ''Dogovor!?'' that he is ready to defend himself before the Special Court, in case he would be one of the war crimes suspects, reports KIM radio portal.
Agim Ceku is just one of the Albanian officials mentioned by media in Kosovo and Serbia as potential suspect before the court, reports KIM radio.
