EULEX experts and staff of the Department of Forensic Medicine in Kosovo yesterday went to the field in the village Piskota, near Djakovica, to verify the information on suspicion of existence of a mass grave of Serbian civilians at the site, received from the War Crimes Prosecution of Serbia.

EULEX Spokeswoman, Dragana Nikolic Solomon, in an interview with Radio Free Europe (RFE) was unable to give a comment as the investigation is on-going. 

Serb citizens from the north will protest against EULEX on Tuesday at 09:30 hours in front of the Mitrovica North court, to express dissatisfaction with the efforts of this mission to arrest former mayor of Zubin Potok, Slavisa Ristic and current mayor of this municipality, Stevan Vulovic.

President of the Association of Djakovica/Gjakova citizens, Đokica Stanojevic, asked whether the international community will be able to provide the displaced Serbs the right to return and live in Djakovica/Gjakova. He noted that citizens were seized all rights and that they were forbidden to visit their houses, cemeteries and shrines.

An association gathering families of Serb victims in Kosovo said it hoped that an investigation of a suspected mass grave will yield "concrete results."

 The Association of the Families of 1998-2000 Kosovo Victims warned at the same time that last year only nine people were identified from a long list of kidnapped Serbs, and this year none.

They hope that the probe announced on Monday by the Serbian War Crimes Prosecution and the EULEX Prosecution of a site in the village of Piskote "will give concrete results."

 Serbia's OSCE chairmanship next year will be "a great opportunity to take on a role and mediate in negotiations in order to smooth EU-Russia relations."

 "Serbia must use the opportunity so that an easy solution is found, so that NATO would not have to become involved in it," the Belgrade-based daily Danas is quoting Dušan Siđanski, a special adviser to the president of the European Commission, who was in Serbia for the Belgrade Security Forum.

The front-page editorial of this daily notes that when Bernd Borchard became head of the EULEX mission, he raised hopes among Kosovars that things would move forward in fighting corruption and organized crime. However, EULEX members are aware that their work cannot do miracles. The miracle in Kosovo is destruction of corruption, handcuffing of criminals, and bringing in front of the justice those that are symbolically known to the opinion as “big fish.”

An international prosecutor from the Mitrovica Basic prosecution, assisted by EULEX Police, executed an international arrest warrant issued by Interpol for Radomir Kasalovic in the north of Kosovo. The operation was carried out as part of investigations into a number of cases that include murder, attempted murder, illegal possession of weapons and obstruction of justice. The murder charges are related to the death of the Kosovo Police officer, Enver Zymberi, in July of 2011 and attack on the KP convoy in which the victim was travelling.

The deadline for the submission of evidence for the defence of CI SDP leader, Oliver Ivanovic, who was last month indicted for war crimes, expires on 26 September.

Indictments for the Albanian leaders, which are already certain, and attempts to erase their criminal past are blocking the Kosovo institutions. Hashim Thaci is trying to stay in office, in order to prevent an indictment for trafficking in human organs, which, according to the Court sources, a special prosecutor Clint Williamson has already prepared.
