U.S. prosecutor Jack Smith to head the special prosecutor's
office that investigates former members of the Kosovo Liberation
Army for crimes against ethnic Serbs in Kosovo's war for
independence.
Smith succeeds David Schwendiman, who stepped down at the end of March when his term as a U.S. foreign service officer expired.
The special prosecutor is part of the special court, based in the Hague, which the Pristina's government agreed to set up in 2015 to carry out the investigations of war crimes committed during the war in Kosovo from 1998 to 2000.(ANSA).
