In the second paragraph Kandic was incorrectly referred to as "the defence attorney for members of the Vukovar territorial defence units and volunteers". Kandic represents the interest of the families of Ovcara war crimes victims at the trial before the Belgrade court.
The entire article should read as follows:
"BELGRADE, May 19 (Hina) - The trial of the perpetrators of the 1991
Ovcara war crimes, currently being held before the Special War Crimes Court in
Belgrade, has undoubtedly proved that some officers of the former Yugoslav
People's Army (JNA) should be put in the dock and not at the witness stand to
protect themselves and the reputation of the JNA, which should also be the most
important reason for Serbia to request that the trial of the Vukovar Three be
referred to Belgrade, the director of the Humanitarian Law Fund, Natasa Kandic,
said on Thursday.
Kandic, who also represents the interest of the
families of Ovcara war crimes victims at the trial before the Belgrade court,
said Serbia needed the trial of the Vukovar Three to free itself of the myths
and lies that the JNA was a buffer zone and an army which protected civilians
regardless of their nationality, Kandic wrote in a column in Belgrade-based
Danas daily of Thursday.
She said the most important reason why
Serbia should request the referral was to cut the ties with the Milosevic
regime and create conditions for justice for the victims of war crimes
committed by Serb forces. She said this would create conditions for cooperation
in the region."
