SERBIAN PRIME MINISTER ANNOUNCES MORE EXTRADITIONS TO THE HAGUE

BELGRADE, April 9 (Hina) - Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic on Tuesday expressed conviction that a law on cooperation with the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague would be adopted at the Yugoslav assembly. He announced the extradition of war crimes indictees to occurr "very soon". #L# The federal government, which should on Tuesday night adopt the draft law harmonised by the Montenegrin Socialist People's Party and Serbian ruling coalition DOS, "does not have the capacity" to apply laws, so the republic's interior ministry will deal with the issue, Djindjic told reporters Tuesday. The implementation of laws is Yugoslavia's internal issue, Djindjic said. "Cooperation is gauged by actions, not words, therefore, the Hague tribunal should not concern itslef with our laws," he said. Djindjic told reporters he did not expect "a drastic expansion of the list of indictees," nor that the list would contain the names of people well-known in the public. He did say, however, that he expected indictments against some Kosovo Albanians to be issued. "We have shown our will to cooperate. This is more important than whether some people will end up in The Hague, since they would end up there with or without a law. By passing this law we will have the opportunity to decrease the number of requests and draw a line. This is why this law is important," Djindjic said. He said that proceedings against indictees for war crimes would be held "within two to three months before our courts". (hina) lml sb
