Three Albanians were arrested in Belgrade for writing UCK (the acronym for the Kosovo Liberation Army) in the snow on vehicles, Vecernje Novosti daily reported.
The three men, one from Prizren and two other from Belgrade, aged 20-25 were arrested on the night of January 6-7. The Serbian Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas eve on that night based on the Julian calendar.
Milovan Drecun says the "erasing" of the border between Albania and Kosovo is one of the steps leading to Albania's annexation of a part of Serbia's territory.
The chairman of the Serbian National Assembly's Committee on Kosovo and Metohija added that this would place a part of the international community that supports Serbia before "a fait accompli."
Drecun, a member of the ruling SNS party, told Serbia's public broadcaster RTS that Albania is doing everything to complete the violent annexation of Kosovo.
Secretary General of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Veljko Odalovic said it is good that the Specialist Prosecution in the Hague started to summon KLA commanders to give statements.
According to Odalovic “this is a tip of an iceberg, that started to be unveiled.”
Speaking for RTS morning news edition, Odalovic said the Working Group on gathering facts and evidences about crimes in Kosovo and Metohija, handed over a document that depicts KLA command structure and crimes they have committed.
The chair of the Serbian Assembly Committee for Kosovo has presented a confidential, so far unpublished report, where eight Albanians testify about human organ trade in Kosovo, B92 reports.
The Albanians in question were members of the co-called KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army"), Milovan Drecun, a member of the Serbian National Assembly from the ranks of the ruling SNS, told public broadcaster RTS on Thursday.
“Laws on transformation of Kosovo Security Forces into an army will be adopted on December 14,” Constitutional Law Professor Riza Smaka told Radio KIM.
On the other hand, Bojan Teofilovic from the Centre for Peace and Tolerance thinks that forming an army is almost impossible without constitutional amendments. Serb inhabitants said they are worried, but would not leave their home places.
Professor Smaka believes Kosovo army should not be reason for concern, since every state in the Balkans has its own army. He added that army would be defensive and not aggressive.
The Belgrade based-daily Blic today writes on its portal about the draft law that ''would punish the negative mentioning of KLA crimes''. The daily states it had an insight in this draft law.
Blic writes that Pristina, in practice, ''wants to legally and formally amnesties criminals from their ranks''.
All Serbian media quoted yesterday and today a Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) veteran admitting in public that he had killed Serbian soldiers.
“I killed Serbian soldiers every chance I had. I am telling my family that I am sorrty that I did not kill as many as I would have liked. I am sorry that they killed my comrades but I am glad that I killed Serbs,” KLA veterans’ spokesman Nasim Haradinaj told a Pristina TV station.
Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Mechanism Serge Brammertz said today that he does not know when the first indictments will be filed at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers for the crimes committed by the KLA in Kosovo, Belgrade based daily Blic reported.
"I know that the victims in Kosovo are seeking justice, but I'm afraid it will take time," Brammertz told TV Prva, when asked whether he was surprised by the fact that the Kosovo Specialist Chambers have not yet issued an indictment yet.
The Association of Families Kidnapped and Killed in Kosovo and Metohija today, in a letter to US Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott and EU High Representative Federika Mogherini, questions why there are no Albanians who did not commit crimes in the negotiations in Brussels, reports Belgrade based daily Blic.
"Can honest Albanians, who did not commit crimes and whose hands are not bloodied, go to Brussels to the negotiations? Only with them an agreement and reconciliation would be possible," the letter reads.
In the period from 11 to 22 July 1998, more than 100 Serbs and Roma, mostly civilians were kidnapped in Orahovac municipality and taken to the KLA prison camps, while seven persons were murdered during the attack. The entire Serb population was expelled from the villages of Retimlje, Opterusa, and Zociste, the Association of Families of Kidnapped and Missing Persons in Kosovo said in a press statement.
