SERBIAN GOVT RECEIVES INDICTMENT AGAINST TEN BOSNIAN SERBS

BELGRADE, April 4 (Hina) - Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic told Banja Luka's daily "Nezavisne novine" on Thursday that the Hague-based international war crimes tribunal had sent to the government an indictment against ten Bosnian Serbs, indicted for crimes in Bosnia. #L# The people received Yugoslav citizenship in 1996 and 1997, and there are no members of the Yugoslav army among them, he said. Djindjic said he doubted the tribunal would ask for their extradition, but believes that it would request that their trial be held in Belgrade. "Most of the indicted could stand trial before our courts," Djindjic said. He added that "most of these names mean nothing" to him, because he neither knew who they were, nor where they were from. The tribunal would ask for those who it did not consider a priority, to be tried in Belgrade, with documents submitted by the Hague tribunal, he said. The chief of the tribunal's office in Belgrade, Matias Helmann, told the same daily that Yugoslav authorities were obliged to extradite all the indicted currently on its territory. This applies both to Yugoslav citizens and Republika Srpska indictees living in Yugoslavia, he said. (hina) lml
