Spasic: Investigation about Serb victims in Djakovica soon

The representatives of an association of families of people kidnapped and murdered in Kosovo-Metohija were on Monday given a pledge by the prosecutor's office for war crimes that an investigation on a location near Djakovica, a suspected mass grave of slain Serbs, will begin soon

Serbian media have reported that an ethnic Albanian man, who is now old and determined to speak out, found the bodies of those killed in a field in 1999 and then gathered them and buried them.

"We have received information that the person has been verified, that he took no part in crimes and that he was not a member of the 'Kosovo Liberation Army' (KLA)", the association's president Simo Spasic said after a meeting with war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic.

Speaking to reporters outside the building of the special war crimes court, he noted that the families of the Serb victims want the prosecutor's office to get the location found and examined and the perpetrators punished.

Over the past 16 years, Serb victims in Kosovo-Metohija have been ignored completely and no ethnic Albanian has answered for the crimes - that was the responsibility of the international community, which is administering Serbia's southern province, Spasic said.

The representatives of the association demand that a special court for crimes committed by the KLA (a former ethnic Albanian paramilitary formation) be set up as soon as possible, he said.

Former KLA leaders Hasim Taci, Ramus Haradinaj, Agim Ceku and Fatmir Ljimaj should be tried before that court for command responsibility, Spasic noted. (end)
