In a sign of protest, due to denied translation service at the moment when a tribute was paid to The Hague convict, Haradin Balla, in the Kosovo Parliament, members of the Srpska Lista have left the session, RTS reports.

In a press statement, Srpska Lista said its members were the victims of unseen political deception, at the moment when a tribute was paid to a convicted war criminal, RTS further writes.

There is no certain answer to the question if the Special Court would invite Hashim Thaci, neither in Pristina nor in Belgrade as first indictments, according to speculations, are expected in the next couple of months, Serbian national broadcaster RTS reports on its website.

An assumption is that the focus of prosecution would be on command responsibility.

Hague tribunal chief prosecutor Serge Brammertz says in the interview for Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti that he does not think that the Hague Tribunal directly leads to the reconciliation of the people in the former Yugoslavia, but that the determination of responsibility is a prerequisite for reconciliation.

The President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci said Ratko Mladic’s conviction for genocide is important to ensure justice for the victims.

“We think of Srebrenica today. We must also ensure the perpetrators of deeds and promoters of genocidal ideology will continue to pay for the evil they unleashed from Belgrade. Never forget,” Thaci wrote on his Twitter account.

75-year-old Ratko Mladic was sentenced by The Hague Tribunal to life imprisonment, Klan Kosova reports.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the UN war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia should have been shut down long ago because it is biased against Serbs.

Sergey Lavrov said on Monday that that the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, ICTY, should have been shut down because it has “proved its bias and one-sidedness”, Russian news outlet Sputnik reported.
