Ljajić: Hague cooperation good

Belgrade, October 04 (Source: B92) - Rasim Ljajić has refuted Carla Del Ponte’s claim that Serbia was making slow progress in cooperation with the Hague.

“When it comes to our collaboration in locating the remaining war crimes fugitives and submitting documentation requested by the Prosecution, Serbia has made significant progress,” the head of the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Tribunal told Beta agency on Wednesday in response to chief Hague prosecutor's statement.

He stressed that, over the past four months, Serbia undertook a series of operative measures and activities in order to locate the indictees and submitted 19,500 pages of documents to the prosecution, which, according to him, was “more than ever”. “In effect there are no overdue requests we have not met in terms of submitting documents,” said Ljajić, adding that there "might be a problem that some documents were not delivered as they had been destroyed," but underscored “these cases are only sporadic.”
