Vladimir Vukcevic

Contrary to the Serbian government’s stance, former chief war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic said it was a fact that genocide was committed against Bosniaks from Srebrenica.

"Serbia has sent additional evidence against former leader of the paramilitary formation KLA Ramush Haradinaj" to France, writes Blic.

The Belgrade-based daily reported this a day after a French court postponed for a second time its decision on Serbia's extradition request for Haradinaj, wanted on charges of war crimes committed in Kosovo in 1998 and 1999.

Former chief war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic accused the Bar Association of Belgrade of refusing to register him as a lawyer because he did not prosecute enough cases in which Serbs were the victims.

The Republic Public Prosecution has denied media reports that Prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac had appointed a new war crimes prosecutor.

The Belgrade-based daily Danas previously said that after War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic retired on January 1, his deputy Snezana Stanojkovic was appointed as his successor.

The cooperation between the Serbian War Crimes Prosecution and the Hague Tribunal "is proceeding at a highly professional level."

This is what Serbia's War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic and Serge Brammertz, chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), said during a meeting in Belgrade on Friday

The War Crimes Prosecution is working on the Bytyqi case, War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic has said.

He added that he could not speak about "the course of the indictment" - because it is secret.

War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic has said there has been progress in the investigation into the murder of the Bytyqi brothers.

He said that many of the suspects in the crime today hold "more notable" positions "in the state or around it."

Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic will visit Washington with new evidence in the case of the murder of the Bytyqi brothers.

Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic also told Radio Belgrade that authorities have been intensively working on the case and that the FBI has participated in the investigation since the beginning.

Serbian War Crimes Public Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic says his office "processed dozens of war crimes cases committed during Croatia's Operation Storm."

However - "only a few of them have been prosecuted due to impossibility of identification and unavailability of perpetrators to the Serbian authorities."

Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic has said that criminal proceedings against Naser Oric cannot be transferred to the Bosnian prosecution.

The reason, Vukcevic explained, is that the families of the victims have not given their consent.
