After Daut Haradinaj threatened Serbs with ethnic cleansing if his brother Ramush was extradited to Serbia, Blic published the testimony of Kujtim Berisha.

Berisha, who was a refugee from Kosovo and a witness in the Hague Tribunal's war crimes case against Ramush Haradinaj, made his statement to investigators in Podgorica, Montenegro, on May 11, 2004.

But Berisha died before he could testify in court - he was killed in a traffic accident in Podgorica on February 16, 2007 - "under strange circumstances," the Belgrade-based newspaper is reporting.

The article noted that before the new specialized court for KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army") was established, a witness protection unit had been formed "due to the experiences with the killings and intimidation of witnesses" in Ramush Haradinaj's war crimes trial before the Hague Tribunal, that eventually ended in his acquittal.

Former Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic told Blic that Berisha was one of the 19 witnesses against Haradinaj who have died.
