four indicted military and police generals to discuss their position
and obligation to respond to the summons for voluntary surrender to
the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague.#L#
"Cooperation with the Hague tribunal is our international obligation
and we must honour it. Anyone who is the subject of that cooperation
must cooperate both with us and the Hague tribunal in order to bring
the cooperation process to a close," Davinic said in a Radio B92
programme.
At the end of last year, the tribunal unsealed indictments against
military generals Nebojsa Pavkovic and Vladimir Lazarevic and police
generals Sreten Lukic and Vlastimir Djordjevic, charging them with war
crimes committed in Kosovo in 1991.
Pavkovic and Lazarevic have said several times that they do not intend
to turn themselves in to the Hague tribunal, while Sreten Lukic, who
has recently been dismissed as chief of the Interior Ministry's Public
Security Department, has made no public statements about his possible
voluntary surrender. Djordjevic left the country before the
publication of the indictment and his whereabouts are unknown.
