The NATO-led peacekeepers on Tuesday arrested three ethnic
Albanians, former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, charged
with war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against
Kosovo Serb and Albanian civilians in 1998.
The Human Rights Watch hailed the arrests, warning, however, that
this was only one step on a long path towards assuming full
responsibility for crimes committed in Kosovo. The humanitarian
organisation also called on the authorities in Serbia and
Montenegro as well as on those in Kosovo to invest more efforts in
prosecuting war crimes.
