"I know that I am a dead man after I finish my testimony," Fazliu said in the courtroom describing the dangers to which people cooperating with the Serbs are exposed to.
Presiding judge Patrick Robinson expressed hope that this would not happen, adding that the witness was exaggerating.
Fazliu complained that his daughter was kidnapped five months ago, three days after it was confirmed that he would testify in the Milosevic trial.
"I only know that she has phoned my wife since then and told her that she is alive," the witness said.
Surprised by the information, the judges asked the witness if he knew who the kidnappers were, if he reported the kidnapping to international peace forces in Kosovo, etc.
The 46-year-old Fazliu was a forester in the 1990s and along with his regular employment he admitted to having reported to the police "illegal activities, such as possession of weapons, military uniforms and the like".
He said that he cooperated with the police for reasons of his Islamic faith.
The witness said that people were imprisoned and convicted after his reports to the police, and added that this was why he came under attack by his compatriots, relatives and members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
Answering Milosevic's questions, Fazliu confirmed all of his claims, including the claim that during the war in Kosovo ethnic Albanians fled the province in large numbers because of the NATO bombing and upon orders by the KLA, and not because of the Serbian army and police.
Speaking about the establishing, arming and training of the KLA, Fazliu said that members of the Albanian diaspora trained in Albania had the leading role in that process.
"A goal was set in 1985 to ethnically cleanse Kosovo and areas of Macedonia and Montenegro of Serbs, Roma, Turks and other non-Albanians," Fazliu said, also accusing his brother of taking part in that campaign.
Prosecutor Daniel Sackson today started cross-examining the witness, saying that Albanians whom Fazliu had reported were tortured in the police station in Urosevac.
The trial will continue on Friday. After Fazliu, the witness stand will be taken by the leader of the Serbian Radicals, Vojislav Seselj, who is indicted for war crimes in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Vojvodina.
