We will be able to say that Serbia has started punishing war
criminals only after the court indicts those responsible for the
execution of more than 250 men in the village Meje in Djakovica on
April 2, 1999, whose bodies were discovered in Batajnica in Serbia,
and those responsible for the murder of women and children from the
Berisha family in Suva Reka, Kandic said on Wednesday.
She said that one war crimes trial had taken place in Serbia and that
trial had shown how difficult it was to achieve justice in a
situation when relations between Serbia and Kosovo were still
unfriendly.
Asked in which direction Kosovo was going, Kandic said that Kosovo
had taken its own path in June 1999 and was functioning
independently of Serbia and Serbian authorities.
