(ANSA) - BELGRADE - Kosovo's president Hashim Thaci said he
will sign a possible revocation bill of the Special Kosovo War
Crimes Court if such a provision is approved by Kosovo's
parliament.
In an interview released to Voice of America's Albanian
Service, and published by the Serbian media, Thaci said that he
would violate the constitution if he didn't sign the revocation
bill. ''This is my legal and constitutional obligation, and I
can not reject the will of my deputies'', explained the
president, who added that he considered the establishment of the
special court an ''historical injustice''. Thaci has at the same
time defined as 'excessive' and 'out of place' some worried
reactions of the international community for the possible
abolition of the special court. Concern was also expressed by
the members of a delegation of French and German leaders who met
with president Thaci and premier Ramush Haradinaj in Pristina in
the last hours. According to local media, the talks focused on
the ''huge consequences'' that the decision to abolish the
special court established in the Hague and which has the task of
judging the crimes committed by the Kosovo Liberation Army, UCK,
the Albanian separatist guerrilla that in the late nineties
fought in the conflict against the Serbian forces. The US, the
EU and Nato have repeatedly expressed strong concern about a
possible vote in the Kosovo parliament to abolish the court.
