Kosovo Veterans Say They apos;ve Been Sent War Crime Files Again

PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) - Kosovo war veterans said Tuesday an unknown person has again handed them war crime files from a special international court in The Hague, Netherlands, probing alleged crimes during and after the Balkan nation´s 1998-1999 war. But a court spokesman warned that the veterans appeared to be trying to undermine the proper administration of justice. Hysni Gucati, head of the association of former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) fighters, said an unidentified man delivered the files - copies of the [http://www.estateguideblog.com/?s=originals%20- originals -] to their office Tuesday morning in Kosovo´s capital, Pristina. It was the third such incident in two months. Nasim Haradinaj, another association official, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour viên gia giới] said the names of President Hashim Thaci and other former top KLA leaders were mentioned in a draft document on charges against them. "It would be good that the local prosecutor´s office and the international ones probe and find who is bringing them and from where," said Gucati. The Kosovo Specialist Chambers is mandated to look into allegations that KLA members committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. Christopher Bennett, spokesman of the Specialist Prosecutor´s Office at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, condemned the statements by the war veterans' group which he said "has on a number of occasions engaged in activities which I believe are aimed at undermining the proper administration of justice." A copy of the documents was offered to journalists by the group. Bennett also commended journalists for not publishing the files, saying that would amount to a criminal act. "The SPO is committed to vigorously investigating and prosecuting individuals who commit any such crimes, including the disclosure of the identity of individuals who may be called before the court or any information that could lead to their identification." Thaci, former parliamentary speaker Kadri Veseli, and others have been charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder, enforced disappearances, persecution and torture. Both men have denied committing any crimes. A pretrial judge hasn´t made a decision on whether to proceed with their case. A statement from the embassies of France, Germany, Italy, the U.K. and the United States last week urged people not to discredit the court´s mission. In a separate development, six new international judges were nominated to the court, which already has 17 judges. The court has not started any trials so far since the start of its operation five years ago. The 1998-1999 war for Kosovo´s independence from Serbia left more than 10,000 people dead - most of them ethnic Albanians from Kosovo. More than 1,600 people remain unaccounted for. The fighting ended after a 78-day NATO air campaign against Serbian troops. Kosovo, which is [http://www.bing.com/search?q=dominated&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=dominated dominated] by ethnic Albanians, declared independence from Serbia in 2008, a move recognized by many Western nations but not Serbia or its allies Russia and China. ___ Semini reported from Tirana, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] Albania.

Sept 25 (Reuters) - Penpix of the top men's contenders at the 2020 French Open (prefix denotes seeding): 2-Rafa Nadal (Spain) World ranking: 2 Born: June 3, 1986 (Age 34) Grand Slam titles: 19 (Australian Open 2009; French Open 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019; Wimbledon 2008, 2010; U.S. Open 2010, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 2013, 2017, 2019) Best Roland Garros performance: Winner (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 85 Nadal's quest to break Roger Federer's record of 20 Grand Slam titles hit a road bump when the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the season and postponed the French Open, his favourite major, to September. With novel coronavirus concerns prompting him to skip a trip to New York, all Nadal can hope for is to equal his injured Swiss rival's record at 20-20 in 2020 as he bids for a record-extending 13th title at Roland Garros. He looked off the pace in Rome in his first tournament back after seven months, losing in the quarter-finals in straight sets to Diego Schwartzman after he was broken five times, but said he knew exactly what he needed to fix before Paris. - 1-Novak Djokovic (Serbia) World ranking: 1 Born: May 22, 1987 (Age 33) Grand Slam titles: 17 (Australian Open 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020); French Open 2016; Wimbledon 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019; U.S. Open (2011, 2015, 2018) Best Roland Garros performance: Winner (2016) ATP career titles: 81 Djokovic is yet to lose a match on court this year but had his perfect record in 2020 blemished by his U.S. Open default earlier this month when he inadvertently hit a line judge with the ball after a point. The Australian Open champion is hungry to redeem himself and end the year on a high, especially after his Adria [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour viên gia giới] tournament amid the COVID-19 pandemic put him in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons as players tested positive. Despite winning 10 Masters titles on clay, Djokovic has won the Roland Garros crown only once in his career, falling at the final hurdle three times. But his superior fitness and his fifth title in Rome this week makes him a top contender. - 3-Dominic Thiem (Austria) World ranking: 3 Born: Sept. 3, 1993 (Age 27) Grand Slam titles: 1 (U.S. Open 2020) Best Roland Garros performance: Runner-up (2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 17 Thiem was labelled the flag bearer for the next generation but fell short in three finals on the biggest stage until he finally got his break at Flushing Meadows this year, winning his first Grand Slam title days after turning 27. The Austrian baseliner, known for one of the most powerful single-handed backhands in the game, reached the final at Roland Garros the last two years only to lose against Nadal. Nevertheless, his groundstrokes and ability to win long rallies make clay the ideal surface for Thiem to win his second major. - 6-Alexander Zverev (Germany) World ranking: [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] 7 Born: April 20, 1997 (Age 23) Grand Slam titles: 0 Best Roland Garros performance: Quarter-finals (2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 11 A mainstay in the top five in recent years, Zverev's stock fell until he reached this month's U.S. Open final where he was one set away from his first Grand Slam title before it all fell apart in the final against Thiem. Zverev relies on a fiery first serve and strong backhand while he also thrives on his powerful groundstrokes but the German lacks that same cutting edge on his second serve to pose a threat on clay. However, two Masters titles on clay and two quarter-final appearances at Roland Garros in the last two years will fill him with confidence heading into the final Grand Slam of the year. - 12-Diego Schwartzman (Argentina) World ranking: 13 Born: Aug. 16, 1992 (Age 28) Grand Slam titles: 0 Best Roland Garros performance: Quarter-finals (2018) ATP career titles: 3 Schwartzman missed the chance to break into the world's top-10 for the first time in his career when he lost to Djokovic in the final in Rome. However, the diminutive Argentine will take solace in the fact that he got the better of Nadal in the quarter-final. A counter-puncher who uses his speed and agility to cover the court well, Schwartzman's game is suited to claycourts where his defensive abilities come to the fore to create numerous attacking opportunities and passing shots.

NBA Boss Adam Silver Eyes January Start To Next Season

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver thinks the league is likely headed for a January start in 2021, but that pandemic-delayed season could drag into the following summer and prevent league players from competing in the Tokyo Olympics. Similarly, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said on Saturday that he envisioned his league starting the next campaign in late December or January, but that will not have any impact on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Silver, a g[# 'I continue to believe that we're going to be better off getting into January,' Silver said in a discussion with Bob Costas during part of the 'Citizen by CNN' event. 'The goal for us next season is to play a standard season ... an 82-game season and playoffs. And further, the goal would be to play games in home arenas in front of fans, but there's still a lot that we need to learn.' The NBA hasn't played in arenas filled with fans since March 11, when the league suspended its season because of the coronavirus pandemic. A very small number of fans - maybe 30 or 40 per game - have been allowed to watch inside the NBA's restart bubble at Walt Disney World in recent weeks, all of them family members or close friends of players. Those guests all are tested daily for coronavirus, like everyone else in the bubble.

If next season is typical - and there's no way of knowing that it will be, or even could be - a January start could mean a June or July regular-season finish, with playoffs concluding in August or September. That could greatly affect Olympic plans. The rescheduled Tokyo Olympics are set to begin July 23 and run through August 8 - if those games are held. Final qualifying rounds for the 24 teams still bidding for the four remaining spots in the 12-team men's basketball field would begin in June. LeBron James celebrates with Anthony Davis after the latter hit a game-winning three-pointer in Game 2 of the Lakers' Western Conference Finals series against the Nuggets The United States Men's Basketball team celebrates with their gold medals following the Men's Gold medal game on Day 16 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at Carioca Arena 1 in 2016 'There are a lot of great US players, and we may be up against a scenario where the top 15 NBA players aren't competing in the Olympics, but other great American players are competing,' Silver said. 'And, obviously, there are many NBA players who participate in the Olympics for other countries. That's something we're going to have to work through.' Team USA Coach Gregg Popovich (right) and assistant Steve Kerr (left) could be forced to skip the Olympics if their respective NBA teams, the Spurs and Warriors, are still playing deep into the 2021 postseason USA Basketball has been planning for various possible scenarios in recent months but can't make any concrete plans until it sees what the next NBA schedule officially looks like. The U.S. roster for the Tokyo Olympics will be 12 players; there were another 34 players competing for other countries at the Rio Olympics as well. Several NBA coaches are also planning to coach in the Tokyo Olympics or in qualifying: San Antonio's Gregg Popovich will coach USA Basketball and be assisted by Golden State's Steve Kerr and Atlanta's Lloyd Pierce; Golden State associate head coach Mike Brown is set to coach Nigeria; Toronto assistant Sergio Scariolo will coach Spain and Raptors head coach Nick Nurse will lead Canada in qualifying and then the Olympics should it qualify. 'These are highly unique and unusual circumstances,' Silver said. 'And I think just as it is for the Olympic movement, it is for us as well. And we're just going to have to sort of find a way to meld and mesh those two competing considerations.' The US, Nigeria, Australia, Spain, Argentina, Iran, France and host Japan have qualified for the Olympic men's basketball field already. Among the top international teams still hoping to qualify: Greece (which could have two-time reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo), Serbia (led by Denver's All-NBA center Nikola Jokic), Lithuania, Russia and the Czech Republic. On Saturday, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman (pictured) raised the possibility of a start sometime later in December or even January, though the plan remains for each team to play 82 games and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] the league hold a full playoffs The NHL is facing similar issues moving from one pandemic-delayed season to the next, but isn't constrained by any Olympic consideration. On Saturday, Bettman raised the possibility of a start sometime later in December or even January, though the plan remains for each team to play 82 games and the league hold a full playoffs. A general overview is seen of Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars and Brayden Point of the Tampa Bay Lightning taking a face-off in the Stars zone during the second period of Game Two of the NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Dallas Stars and the Tampa Bay Lightning at Rogers Place on Monday Much like its plan to resume this season, the league hopes to adapt to the pandemic circumstances in the US, Canada and worldwide and is open to adjusting on the fly as the situation evolves. Acknowledging there are factors like the US-Canada border and local jurisdictions out of his control that could affect travel and attendance, Bettman indicated Saturday he wouldn't be surprised if the season begins later than scheduled but would like to avoid playing deep into next summer. 'If there's an option to consider, believe me, we're considering it,' Bettman said during his annual pre-Stanley Cup Final news conference. 'It's conceivable that we start without fans, that we move to socially distant fans at some point and by some point in time maybe our buildings are open.' There's no way to know yet what a 2020-21 NHL season will look like, and the league is watching what's going on in European hockey and the other North American professional sports leagues and college athletics to see what's possible. 'Our goal is to get back to as great a sense of normalcy as possible under whatever circumstances are presented,' Bettman said. One of the circumstances at play is the closure of the U.S.-Canada border to nonessential travel, which has more of an effect on the NHL than other pro sports leagues because it has seven teams in Canada and 24 in the U.S. until Seattle becomes the 32nd franchise in 2021. A general view is seen of the ice surface before the start of the third period of Game Two of the NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Stars and the Lightning at Rogers Place on Monday Canada did not allow Major League Baseball's Blue Jays to play in Toronto this season because of cross-border travel by them and other teams. The Canadian government approved the NHL holding its playoffs in quarantined bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton but has not allowed family members who aren't Canadian citizens join, as had been planned by the league and players. Stars Goaltender Anton Khudobin stops Lighting forward Patrick Maroon on Monday 'That application remains pending,' deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. 'I think at this point, I don't have a high level of expectation that it will be approved. But it has not formally been denied at this point, either.' The league is less than two weeks away from pulling off a successful return, after the season was halted March 12. More than 30,000 tests inside the bubbles turned up zero positive coronavirus test results. Before the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning opened the final, Bettman acknowledged he's not taking a victory lap yet. He's still focused on getting through this series even as preparations begin for next season. Bettman said the league has 'started informally thinking' about it and conceded there will be a financial hit because attendance makes up at least 50% of revenue. He's not worried about any [http://pixabay.com/en/new-zealand-waterfall-nature-franchises/ franchises] not making it through this and said Seattle joining the league won't be pushed back. 'While we know it'll be less (money), we know there's a substantial revenue impact, I'm comfortable that our franchises will be strong enough to weather this,' Bettman said.
