Если бы Вы действительно следили за новостями, то знали бы, что с самого начала Коштуница не собирался выдавать Милошевича гаагскому трибуналу с самого начала. Милошевича они собирались судить сами за то, что он подтасовал результаты выборов. И ни за что более. Ни в одной из Ваших ссылок не было и слова о том, что Милошевича будут судить за военные преступления. А еще бы вы знали, что Коштуница заявил, что армия Югославии должна вернуться в Косово.
 
 
Я также сходил на сайт радио Свобода, и не смог найти никаких заявлений Коштуницы. Я думаю, что эту сенсацию они бы не упустили и уже бы обсосали со всех сторон. Удивительно, что Лента.ру не сделала сама из этого большую сенсацию.

Kostunica Acknowledges Kosovo Genocide
 
 
NEW YORK, Oct 24, 2000 — (Reuters) President Vojislav Kostunica has acknowledged that Yugoslav security forces committed genocide in Kosovo and said he was ready to take responsibility for crimes committed by his predecessor Slobodan Milosevic.
 
Milosevic, who has been indicted by a UN court for his security forces' crimes against members of Kosovo's ethnic Albanian majority, was forced by a mass uprising to admit defeat to Kostunica in last month's elections.
 
Kosovo legally remains part of Serb-dominated Yugoslavia but has been run as a de facto international protectorate since June last year, when NATO bombing drove out Serb forces.
 
In an interview with CBS's «60 Minutes II», released on Monday and to be aired on Tuesday, Kostunica was asked if there was any doubt that the Yugoslav army and police were guilty of genocide in Kosovo.
 
«Those are the crimes and the people that have been killed are victims,» the president responded, adding: "I must say also there are a lot of crimes on the other side and the Serbs have been killed.
 
«I am ready to, how to say, to accept the guilt for all those people who have been killed so I'm trying to, taking responsibility for what happened on my part. For what Milosevic had done and as a Serb I will take responsibility for many of these, these crimes,»
 
On whether Milosevic would stand trial somewhere, Kostunica replied: «Yes, somewhere.» Asked about Serb crimes against humanity, he said Milosevic was «among those responsible.»
 
Kostunica said his government had not arrested Milosevic because there were «too many things to be done at this moment, too many priorities.»
 
The president also said «before anything else we are in need of democracy being, how to say, consolidated in this country. By opening the questions of the Hague (court) that democracy may be put into question.»
 
After the sacking of the parliament building in Belgrade, Kostunica said he had feared a visit from the security forces.
 
«We were somewhere between democracy and revolution. And I must say that that morning I went to bed and had the specific feeling that someone might knock at my door.»
 
Asked if had feared arrest, he replied: «Exactly.»

В общем — это все политические трюки. Удивительно, что Вы этого не понимаете.

Yugoslav Army Should Return To Kosovo
 
 
SKOPJE, Oct 25, 2000 — (Reuters) Yugoslavia's new President Vojislav Kostunica said on Tuesday that the Yugoslav army should return to Kosovo when the situation allows, even as a symbolic presence.
 
He also told Macedonia's Telma television that Yugoslav passions would flare if the question was raised of handing his predecessor, Slobodan Milosevic, to a UN court, which has indicted him over alleged Kosovo war crimes by his forces.
 
Kostunica said the United Nations resolution 1244 of 1999 provided for a presence of Serb forces in Kosovo, but there are none at present. The Yugoslav troops were forced out of the province by the 1999 NATO bombing campaign.
 
«This is only a symbolic presence of the army and one day, when the situation allows it, the issue of the return will come up on the agenda,» he said, adding it would not happen soon.
 
«I think there is no doubt that the situation until the end of this year will not allow the return of the Yugoslav army to Kosovo», he said, according to extracts released by MIA news agency. The interview is to be aired later on Tuesday.
 
REMARKS SURE TO HEIGHTEN TENSION
 
His remarks are sure to heighten tension in Kosovo, holding a local election on Sunday which all leading ethnic Albanian parties see as an effective vote for independence.
 
Albania, whose president along with other Balkan leaders is to meet Kostunica in the Macedonian capital Skopje on Wednesday, is also likely to be unhappy with his remarks because Tirana favors an independence referendum in Kosovo.
 
The province was directly ruled by Serbia but the UN resolution authorized international rule while stating it was part of federal Yugoslavia. The resolution left its final status unclear.
 
«The resolution is not implemented in the most important part, which is the return of the Serbs and the non-Albanian residents to Kosovo,» Kostunica said.
 
Revenge attacks and intimidation of Kosovo Serbs by ethnic Albanians have driven tens of thousands of non-Albanians from Kosovo since Milosevic's forces were forced to release their grip on the province.
 
Kostunica said that turning in Milosevic to the International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague was still too sensitive an issue to deal with.
 
«Any attempt to open the issue about the cooperation with the international war tribunal in the Hague in the case of Milosevic will destabilize the situation in Yugoslavia», he said.
 
The new Yugoslav leader reiterated that he believed the future of the federation formed from Serbia and its reluctant smaller partner Montenegro should be decided through a referendum.
 
«Yugoslavia does not have to exist. But, that can not be done by any politician, any government, because all governments can be changed,» he said.
 
«Only the people, through a democratic referendum, can answer the question whether there will be a federal state, or not.»
