YUGO GOVT TO DISCUSS LAW ON COOPERATION WITH ICTY-SNP OPPOSES LAW

BELGRADE, June 13 (Hina) - After Wednesday morning's talks with representatives of Montenegro's Social People's Party (SNP), Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica said a law on cooperation with the International Criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) would be included in the agenda of the next session of the Yugoslav government. After the talks, Kostunica told reporters the law would include the extradition of Yugoslav citizens to the Hague tribunal. Asked whether someone other than Milosevic would be extradited to the ICTY by the end of this month, Kostunica said the law must be endorsed at the government's session first and then forwarded to the parliament. Only then we can discuss the implementation of the law, says Kostunica. SNP representatives told reporters an agreement on the passing of the law was not reached at the meeting. SNP leader Predrag Bulatovic told reporters the ruling Serbian coalition (DOS/SNP) stood by their beliefs, reiterating his party opposed the law. "We are pro cooperation and we believe that all perpetrators of crimes must be punished, but we also believe they should be tried in Yugoslavia", Bulatovic said. (hina) it
