[Prishtina-E] Three more weeks until the March 31, 2002 deadline

[Divi Beineke]

Dear friends,

This is a big month for us!
March 31, 2002 is the date set by the US Congress over three months ago.
By this time, the Serb government should have released or
transfered the Albanian prisoners and various war criminals
arrested. Future aid will be conditioned on those requirements.

Please support our efforts and go on to send your emails!

Three more weeks until the March 31, 2002 deadline!

Dear Ladies and Sirs,

Three weeks before the deadline set by the US
Congress last December there is still no official
information about when the remaining Albanian
prisoners will return to Kosova. Even the number
of prisoners remains unclear (200 according to
ICRC, 155 according to the EU and UNMIK, and 175
according to Svilanovic).

The implication in Foreign Minister Svilanovic's
latest quote in B92 is that the conditioning of
aid relates only to the war criminal extraditions
to the Hague, saying that acceptance into Council
of Europe will depend on the transfer of
prisoners. This is not true. The conditioning of
US aid includes the transfer of the Albanians to
UNMIK by March 31, 2002.

We are dismayed by evidence of further
equivocation at this point, as once more
Serbia/FRY officials try to downplay and delay
cooperation on the prisoner issue.

They all must be in Kosova by March 31, 2002.

Sincerely,
