BELGRADE, Sept 30 (Hina) - Serbia and Montenegro is already suffering
the consequences of the non-cooperation with the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the United States is not setting any
deadlines for the extradition of ICTY indictee Ratko Mladic and another four
indicted generals because all deadlines have already expired, U.S. state
undersecretary Marc Grossman said in Belgrade on Thursday, after talks with
Serbia-Montenegro Foreign Minister Vuko Draskovic.The U.S. officials said he still believed the United States could
support the idea that the four generals, accused of crimes in Kosovo, be tried
in Serbia, but stressed they must go to The Hague first, and added that Mladic
also must be arrested and extradited to the Hague tribunal.
The U.S. undersecretary, who arrived in Belgrade with U.S. Ambassador
for war issues Pierre Richard Prosper, met the President of Serbia and
Montenegro Svetozar Marovic, Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunivca and
Serbian President Boris Tadic.
After talking with Grossman, the Serbian president said he was aware of
the country's obligation to cooperate with the U.N war crimes tribunal and that
results would be visible in several days.
