A suspect for war crimes in Kosovo is arrested in Montenegro

The police of Montenegro arrested on Thursday a Kosovar citizen with the initials MV, on suspicion of having committed war crimes against the civilian population during the 1998-1999 war in Kosovo.

The Supreme Court in Podgorica has assigned him the measure of extradition detention.

He is wanted by Interpol through UNMIK, due to involvement in a criminal offense, according to the Police Directorate.

On September 25, Montenegrin police arrested a citizen of Serbia with the initials MV, 61 years old, on suspicion of having committed the same war crime in 1999.

After that, one of the leaders of the recently disbanded pro-Russian and pro-Serb Democratic Front, Milan Knezhevi?, called on the technical government of Dritan Abazovi? not to participate in the arrest of Serbs and Montenegrins displaced from Kosovo.

"This will further destabilize the already bad political situation in Montenegro," Knezhevi? said.

He called on all displaced Serbs and Montenegrins in Montenegro to contact his party, in order to offer them all kinds of help and protection.

Knezhevi? said that at the request of Pristina, two Serbs resettled in Montenegro - ?ivko Vuksanovi? and Momcilo Bulatovi? - were arrested for suspected war crimes after two and a half decades.

He assessed the arrests of these persons as "terror against the Serbian people that is trying to spread in Montenegro".

Since the end of the war in Kosovo, about 70 people have been convicted of war crimes before local and international institutions.

From 2000 to 2008, war crimes in Kosovo were investigated by the United Nations Mission, while from 2008, the European Union Rule of Law Mission was responsible for war crimes investigations.

In 2018, this mission submitted documents to the Kosovo Prosecutor's Office and local courts./ REL
