Former Kosovo Separatist Commander Appears In Court

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - A former commander of separatist fighters in Kosovo´s 1998-1999 war appeared at a special court in the Netherlands on Monday to face charges that he was involved in the torture of detainees and the murder of one prisoner held at a compound in Kosovo during the conflict. Salih Mustafa was arrested Thursday and transferred to the Netherlands to stand trial. He is the first suspect to appear in court at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. He sat in the courtroom wearing a suit and tie and a face mask, which he removed as he stood and confirmed his name and other personal details, identifying himself as an economist and adviser to the Kosovo defense ministry. He listened in silence as a court officer read out the four charges against him, and Presiding Judge Nicolas Guillou read him his rights. Mustafa didn't enter pleas to the charges during the 35-minute hearing. He has 30 days to enter pleas. The Kosovo Liberation Army was made up of ethnic Albanian rebels who fought for Kosovo´s independence from Serbia. Mustafa oversaw fighters in the Llapi area, 35 kilometers (20 miles) north of the capital, Pristina. Mustafa is charged with the war crimes of arbitrary detention, cruel treatment, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] the torture of at least six people and the murder of one person at a detention compound in Zllash, Kosovo, in April 1999. The victims were accused by KLA fighters of collaborating with Serbs or not supporting the KLA, according to the indictment. In one incident alleged in the indictment, Mustafa interrogated a detainee "about his knowledge of the identities of thieves and spies, and beat him with a baseball bat all over his body, causing him severe mental harm and severe physical injuries." He is charged in the indictment under different modes of criminal liability, including command responsibility and as a member of a joint criminal [http://www.bing.com/search?q=enterprise&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=enterprise enterprise]. The court and an associated Special Prosecutor´s Office were established five years ago following a 2011 report by the Council of Europe, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a human rights body, that included allegations that KLA fighters trafficked human organs taken from prisoners and killed Serbs and fellow ethnic Albanians. The court is mandated to investigate and prosecute allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kosovo, or linked to the Kosovo conflict, from 1998-2000. Two leaders of the Kosovar war veterans´ association, Hysni Gucati and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] Nasim Haradinaj, were arrested last week and transferred to The Hague accused of "offences against the administration of justice, namely intimidation of witnesses, retaliation and violation of secrecy of proceedings," the court said. They are likely to make their first appearances before the court in coming days. Prosecutors in The Hague also have isssued an indictment against Kosovar President Hashim Thaci, former parliamentary speaker Kadri Veseli, and others for crimes that include murder, enforced disappearances, persecution and torture. A pre-trial judge has yet to confirm those indictments. Both men have denied committing any war crimes. 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 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.

Tsitsipas improved to 22-8 in 2020 by holding off Chile's Cristian Garin 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 on Saturday, while Rublev ran his record to 24-6 with a 6-4, 6-2 win against Norway's Casper Ruud in the other semifinal.

Penpix Of The Top Men apos;s Contenders At The French Open

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, 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 [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] 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 [http://thesaurus.com/browse/tournament 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 trương 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 [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] 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: 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 [http://www.answers.com/topic/defensive%20abilities defensive abilities] come to the fore to create numerous attacking opportunities and passing shots.

Serbia apos;s Vucic Plays Down Hopes For Quick Political Deal With Kosovo

2020-10-19T16:45:31Z

StephanHinojosa:

By Ivana Sekularac BELGRADE, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic played down hopes on Tuesday that a U.S.-mediated agreement on [https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=economic%20cooperation&btnI=lucky economic cooperation] with Kosovo could lead soon to a political deal with the former province. Political normalisation with Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008 nearly a decade after it was protected by NATO in a bombing campaign, is a pre-condition for Serbia's entry into the EU. Serbia and Kosovo agreed to take steps towards economic cooperation, including working on joint infrastructure projects, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] in agreements signed at the White House this month, which U.S. President Donald Trump called a "breakthrough". In his first interview with a Western news organisation since his trip to Washington, Vucic described the agreements as a big step in the right direction, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] but a long way from political normalisation. "I think such agreements are very important in order to preserve peace and that once and for all we resolve our problems to have clear future for our children," Vucic told Reuters. "I am not saying that we are close to a political solution," Vucic said, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] though he described economic cooperation as "key" for any future political deals. On Tuesday, a U.S. delegation headed by Trump's special envoy for talks between Serbia and Kosovo, Richard Grenell, arrived in Serbia to discuss possibility of financing projects. The delegation visited Kosovo on Monday. 'ARGUMENTS WITH EVERYONE EQUALLY' Vucic, a former ultra-nationalist who pivoted towards a pro-European stance in 2008, is determined to bring his country into the EU, which requires some form of accommodation with Kosovo. Serbia and its ally Russia reject Kosovo's declaration of independence. EU-mediated normalisation negotiations broke down in 2018 but resumed in July after Kosovo lifted import tariffs on Serbian goods. In his interview, Vucic described a future for his country that would involve balancing ties with East and West, even if this meant occasionally angering both sides. "If you live in a small country which is geographically at the crossroads, then your policy should be maintain peace and stability, either by not having arguments with anyone, which is impossible, or having arguments with everyone equally," he said. "Serbia is on its European path, but Serbia has to live, and has friends in the U.S. but it also has friends and it is not ashamed of them in Moscow and in Beijing." Serbia accepted highly publicised offers of aid from China in fighting the coronavirus this year, annoying some European countries who saw the gesture as politicised. More recently, Vucic risked friction with the Kremlin by steering clear of joint military exercises in Belarus, refusing to be drawn into a show of support for embattled leader Alexander Lukashenko, a Russian ally. "Sometimes we have to protect our military neutrality by being all alone," Vucic said. Vucic said he hoped Trump would visit Serbia. His delegation was warmly met in the United States, long the main supporter of Kosovo's independence, and the trip irked Moscow. Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman compared Vucic's White House visit to an explicit film scene, prompting Vucic to accuse Moscow of stooping to "primitivism and vulgarity". In Washington, both Kosovo and Serbia also agreed to move their embassies in Israel to Jerusalem, a Trump administration priority. Vucic said Serbia's chamber of commerce would open in Jerusalem first, with the embassy move to follow. (Reporting by Ivana Sekularac Editing by Peter Graff)
