More proof of successful two-way cooperation with Hague tribunal

Belgrade, 22 July 2005

Serbian Minister of Public Administration and Local Self-Government Zoran Loncar stated today that the decision of the Trial Chamber of the Hague Tribunal to release generals Milan Gvero and Radivoj Miletic, as well as Republika Srpska former first minister of police Mico Stanisic, until the beginning of trial is another piece of evidence of successful two-way cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.

According to him, the provisional release of 10 defendants who decided to go to the ICTY voluntarily and the Serbian government’s guarantees, represent proof that cooperation of Serbia-Montenegro with the ICTY has not ceased.

This decision of the ICTY represents a significant incentive for Serbia-Montenegro to continue cooperation with the tribunal, said Loncar.

He expressed the hope that new steps in further cooperation will be made, which will enable Serbia-Montenegro to meet in full all international obligations relating to the ICTY and the international community.

Loncar stressed that not a single ICTY defendant, who is said to be on Serbian territory, will be an obstacle in the EU integration process of Serbia-Montenegro and the carrying out of necessary obligations.

Loncar, who is member of the National Council for Cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY), will travel to The Hague to meet Gvero, Miletic and Stanisic and return with them to Belgrade.
