The international community in Kosovo, some Kosovo politicians condemned the events from Mušutište. The Serbian List pointed out that the events were organized. But nobody asks why Kosovo police did not prevent the violent protests, which have been announced through social networks and portals.
Although members of the Kosovo Assembly have already voted in favor of the establishment of the special court, legal experts in Pristina argue that this was a great mistake and an injustice vis-a-vis the state and people of Kosovo. According to these experts, Kosovo’s institutions should have conducted investigations into war crimes allegations.
Several media report that Sandra Orlović, executive director of the Human Rights Fund, told the Belgrade-based Danas newspaper, that according to her estimates at least 3,000 people suspected of committing war crimes in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo, are living in Serbia. Orlović said that Serbia has become an oasis of not convicting war crimes given the small number of indictments in the last five years.
The families of the victims of the Rrezalla massacre submitted to the Special Prosecution in Pristina an indictment against two former members of the Serb forces – Ljubisa Diković, former commander of the 37th motorized brigade of the Yugoslav Army, and Dejan Ranđelović, commander of the 2nd battalion of the 37th motorized brigade of the Yugoslav Army, for the killing of 41 Albanian civilians on 2 April 1999. Arianit Koci, legal representative for the families, said it is final time to act and try the people responsible for this crime.
MP and former Kosovo Liberation Army commander, Fatmir Limaj, who is already on trial for war crimes, has been questioned by prosecutors in Pristina about another wartime case.
War crimes remain an object of investigation even 17 years after the liberation of Kosovo. War crimes cases were previously under the UNMIK competencies and were later transferred as part of EULEX executive powers. But the EU rule of law mission since 2008 has not managed to solve 213 cases of this nature and is currently addressing 40 of them.
Prosecution of War Crimes in Serbia has exchanged so far 351, evidence and information in war crimes cases with countries in the region and relevant institutions.
As of January 2016 the Prosecution exchanged 173 with Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina 57, Montenegro 14 and EULEX / UNMIK 107.
Zoran Vukotic (45) has been arrested by Montenegrin authorities in the city of Niksic on an Interpol arrest warrant issued by UNMIK. Vukotic is being accused of killing three Albanian civilians in 1999 in the town of Vushtrri/Vucitrn.
The War Crimes Prosecutor of the Republic of Serbia sent to the competent authorities of the Federal Republic of Nigeria requests for interview with Dr Philip Njemanze, a doctor who said that Hashim Thaci, together with Rochas Okorocha, traded the organs of kidnapped Serbs in Kosovo. The prosecution office sent request in accordance with provisions of the Law on International Legal Assistance.
Eleven Serbian ex-fighters pleaded not guilty to war crimes in the Kosovo villages of Ljubenic, Cuska, Pavlan and Zahac in 1999, but anger erupted in the courtroom after the prosecution changed the indictment again.
